Hi - Any suggestions for a private Porsche repair ship specializing in 928? I have a 1989 GT that needs some maintenance and water pump.
PS: Best advice on the replacement water pump?
Thanks to all.

Private message sent with recommendation.

It is recommended to use a waterpump with a plastic impeller. If the bearings begin to fail, the plastic impeller will not damage the block where the metal blades will.

If Rich didn't recommend this one, there is a guy in Philly who does a lot of mid-Atlantic services. Goes by the name Mrmerlin on Rennlist 928 Forum.

Also, a guy in the Boston area who does essentially all the New England 928's. worf928 is moniker on Rennlist.

There is also a guy named Pete who I think is on Long Island.   Can't remember his last name or Rennlist name, but if you contact 'SteveG' on Rennlist, I'm believe he can provide the info, as I'm pretty sure Pete did service on his '93 GTS which he recently sold.   You can reference me as info source if you want.

Gary, you're correct. Mr. Merlin was who I recommended. Worf928 and I work together to keep 928s on the road.

It is some distance from Mahwah, but I know Robert Lucarello of Bob's Motor Works in Atlantic Highlands, NJ owns and works on a lot of 928s.
