I agree, Speedsport is very good.

Dan Jacobs is also known to be very good. It might be closer to you.
A friend just had his 912E rebuilt there. A very happy customer.

Dan Jacobs has struggled as of late. Baron is more concerned with making sure his racing budget is full every season instead of making sure the people filling his racing budget are happy.

Speedsport has changed owners. Original owner, Spencer ***, passed away to cancer few years back and I don't know how the shop is running nowadays.

Musante is the only one I have not heard much gossip about.

AA works on older cars more.

I always forget about Butzi. The shop is a little to far from me, so I've never had my car there.
He (Dave) is a great guy, & I've heard nothing but good things about his shop.
