Anyone able to recommend a good 356 shop in the modesto/San Joaquin valley area? Got a 64 that has been sitting, and needs its systems gone through.

You asked for recommendations, but sometimes the best are not nearby.

Shipping a car is cheap.

Cap'n Krusty at your service ................... Worked on 356s since 1963. Near Santa Babara, have a trailer.

The Cap'n

Now out of Retirement, on a selective basis...and only for people who treat him right....the one, the only Cap'n Krusty our resident 40 year mechanic who has forgotten more than most of us know about porsches, and other really amazing trivia.

West Coast Mobile Garage?

Krusty !!!!

One thing's for sure... the Cap'n does not bull , so you'll know everything he doesn't like about the car. That's who I'd go with.

Yes, based on all these years on this 914 family..the Cap'n would be a great choice. Especially since he's even has a trailer to come and get it....he's got nothing to do since retirement

Theres one good VW shop in Modesto and a couple of Euro shops.. But you might be better off with someone who knows 356's specifically... Like Mark or The Cap'n
