San Jose CA: Mechanic and Body Shop Recommendations
I moved to the San Jose CA area, and am looking for recommendations for both a mechanic for my 1994 968, as well as a body shop to do some minor jobs (such as an install on an invisible bra).
Being in the South Bay, I would obviously prefer to use shops that are located here, but I would be open to any options in the entire Bay Area, as I am more interested in finding shops with direct experience working on water cooled Porsches than I am in finding shops that are geographically convenient.
Thanks
Nathan

I moved to the bay area a little over a year ago and wanted to install a short shift kit to my "89 944 N/A.
I stopped by Heyer Performance in Mountain View and was told they only replace OEM parts. Tony was a total jerk about it, laughed at the idea that any after market product couldn't be as good as Porsche parts.
Since then I have replaced my motor mounts, timing belt, water pump, and had a manual steering rack installed.
The shop that did the work is also in Mountain View and I would highly recommend them.
