Looking for a mechanic around Nashville, TN (live in Gallatin, TN) to do some engine work because of some oil leaks. Also have other items that would like to address. Any recommendations?

Try Air cooled classics? They are located in Knoxville, TN.
Maybe a little far from you. I know as I've done the drive from Knox to Nash.
I know someone close to you that maybe able to help.
Let me pm him and see if he could help you out.

GPO tuning 615-248-9466. website. located just on the east side of Nash. I go here.
German Motorworks..I have no experience with them.
Renntag Motorworks... Wikey was slamed last time I checked with him
those are probably the top 3. I'm sure there are others

Thanks, Andy!

Thanks, Luke! That would be great!

I wish I could help, but with my property sale pending, I'm not taking any jobs

Thanks, Perry. Yes, that would be great but I completely understand with your pending move.

Has anyone used J-3 Restorations in Columbia, TN?

I wanted them to do some work on my 74 LE. Went down and talked with them. They did not seem to enthused about it. They are the caliber that I am looking for but I got the impression that they are doing high dollar restorations. Some very well known shops are sending stuff to them to have done. I will go back and speak with them again because I would like for them to do it....but ...if there not interested I can't make them and it will be time to move on.
Perry would be great also but I think he is bailing on us
Hope you don't move to far away Perry !!!!

J-3 in Columbia has done a lot of work for me in the past (before I moved to Massachusetts). Rich Ewald is the owner. Great guy. Seems as though he’s moved more toward doing metal work on Porsches, but if he’s still doing mechanical work, I wouldn’t hesitate to let him work on my cars.

Good luck

Agreed. Lots of VW buses hangin around that place. And just so the air is clear, I was not dissing them. They do outstanding work, but left me with the impression they did not want to do metal work on a 914.

My car is currently at J-3 (almost done!), there are two other 914's and many 911's, 356's and bugs in various stages of repair. Rich fixed some minor body issues the car had and the engine / tranny were sent away for complete rebuilds. His crew does do other mechanical work on site.

Drop by the shop, give him a call or look them up on Facebook for awesome pics and updates.

Great people and great work.

Great, thanks for the info!
