Shop recommendation - Rockville area
I've got a REAL problem with my 88 turbo. It has been in and out of several shops in the VA area but electrical gremlins still cause the car to suddenly cut out. Today I got stuck on the beltway during rush hour traffic. NOT FUN!! Anyway, I need to find a shop a bit closer to home (Rockville) but one that can diagnose and fix electrical problems (primary problem) and fuel delivery problems (secondary issue). Any thoughts on Matt de Maria at Stuttgart Performance Engineering or Roger at Autotherapy?
This has been a four month search for answers, multiple towings, and expensive bills for parts. Hopefully, you, the knowledgeable members of this great site can guide me to a shop that can fix the problem. THANKS!!

Matt @ Stuttgart will figure it out. Call him and make an appointment.

Thanks for your replies. It has been a VERY frustrating day! The car is a1988 930 turbo with 60,000 miles. It has been trouble free for the past 10 years and has been well maintained by Taylor Chapman, a really great tech. (He is unavailable to work on the car and I need it fixed ASAP.) Soooo, I need to get a rec. for a shop that is good and can get to me sooner rather than later. (I did update my profile!) Thanks for your input. Jonathan

My car had a problem for 5 years. 3 shops couldn't fix it, including one where I left it for 2 months. Matt fixed it in 2 hours! He is an amazing resource AND you live in Rockville!!

Another vote for Matt. I also had a less than optimal experience at the other shop mentioned.
