Default New to Porsche

After years of fantasizing and looking at nearly every air cooled 911 imaginable, I have FINALLY managed find and buy my very first p-car.

The car is an '88 Guards Red Carrera that has been really well kept despite its high mileage (173k ). The previous owner was meticulous in his restoration of the car, inside and out. Currently looking for any recommendations for shops around the area as there are a couple things I'd like to have done.

Excited to join the community!

Nice! And welcome.

You down in the Stratford area? There are a few of us between Ft. Hunt and Old Town.

For 'close-in' shops, consider Intersport in Tysons, ASG in Merrifield, and Autobahn in Fairfax. Also Craftsman (Matt Curry) in Sprinfield, and RPM in Newington.

I'm closer to Hybla Valley, right off of Sherwood Hall Lane. I'll definitely keep a look out for you guys around town. Thanks for the shop suggestions!

Bring your car to the first tech session towards the end of March (see schedule on PCAP website, or on here.). It can go up on a lift for a look see.
