Are you asking, or are you just 'wondering'?

Give them a call and find out for sure.

GAG will, not sure if Taylor will be the one working on it.

Just so everyone is clear. Taylor is the truest sense of an indy mechanic. He sublets his workspace (the back porsche only section) from GAG.

He works to pay his rent there and he earns it quite honestly. Clearly I have great experiences with him.

I know they do work on older Mercedes. All BMW/Mercedes work is done by the techs in the front of the shop.

Taylor is strictly Porsche but he told me that he would work on other marques if requested that he do the work.

Taylor is the one you want working on your Porsche. Darwin is the one you want working on BMW's. I have known Taylor for the past 10 years. He is honest and is the only one I let work on my cars.

Default Dropped the car off at German Auto Group

I dropped my 83 911 off at German Auto Group today for a corner balance and alignment. I left a note for Taylor asking him to set it up how he see's fit - street car with intent to do some future AX/DE's - will see report back when I'm back on the road.

Looking forward to driving it again. Thanks for the recommendations folks - makes me feel more comfortable that I'm leaving it in good hands.

Another +1 for Taylor, although I haven't had to bring my car in since he started at GAG... not that I'd expect anything to change because of it!

I wonder how backed up Taylor is getting? A buddy dropped his car there 2 weeks ago, and it hasn't been worked on yet.

Default Scheduled for the 10th

I'm hoping he's close to working his schedule. I called and scheduled for the CB/alignment 2 weeks ago; they said he could get it in on the 10th.

Do you know if the guy who dropped his vehicle off, schedule it before hand or just drove it in and dropped it off?
