New to Board/Looking for Good Mechanic

Fangio · Post by **Fangio** » February 26th, 2004, 11:51 pm

Hello, everyone! This is my first post.

I joined this board becasue I am soon going to be in the market for an itr. It will be a (sorta) replacement for my beloved 1989 M3, which I wrecked. While I loved my M3, I need something that is a little newer and more reliable.

I live in Southern Maryland not far from Upper Marlboro. I am 30 miles from D.C. and 40 miles from Baltimore. Can anyone recommend a good itr mechanic near me for pre-purchase inspections?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if he will do pre-purchase inspections... but a very good Go-to guy would probably be Steven Sakai in the Fredricksburg, Va area.

His website is under construction. Here's his contact info:

not really pre-purchase but inline pro in springfield are great with hondas and in your area them and steve are probably the best

haha you know ben schaeffer?! he was my old mechanic. if you get the chance to talk to him ask if he remembers a guy named ron who had a white JRSCed prelude he worked on. i wasn't satisfied with ALL of his work, and it was pretty exspensive. but he has won 3 SCCA championships in the past. so he must be doing something right.
