Machine shop

[Rick Cabell]

Looking for Porsche Machine shop in San Diego .
At German Auto Fest there was a Porsche machine shop there from the San Diego area. Nice guys with "state of the art " equipment. I lost their business card. I think it was a 4 man operation. can anyone help? They said they do all the work for the Porsche dealerships in their county.

Rick, Competition Engineering is in Lake Isabella, CA. The onwer is a friend of mine, his name is Walt Wasden. Great guy, great work, I believe they do work for many dealerships, AND, they were at GAF.

Lake Isabella is not really supre to SD, but I think it MAY be in San Diego County; at any rate, I hope it WAS them you're looking for, because they're GREAT! Tell Walt I sent you. Call him anyway, you won't find a better P machine shop.

Just a coupla corrections to Stacys' post...
1. Walts' name is Watson...not Wasden
2. Comp. Eng. is in Kern County...Lake Isabella. This is about 5hrs from downtown San Diego...I have a business interest in Ocean Beach, so I drive this route all the time, as I live in Ridgecrest - just on the other side of Walker Pass. I've known Walt for a number years as well...

And yes...Walt is one of the best. He does nothing but Porsche machine work. He's been doing this since the very late 60's. Give him a call.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Guys, Thanks for the input, but we are on the wrong page. yes, I know Walt, and I go back to Ray. Been doing business with CE for 20+ years. I can't wait 6 months for the turnaround. San Diego......They were next to Pelican at another booth. Turn around was 2 weeks max. they knew what they were talking about. Had a long talk with them. When I find them, I'll post who they are. They seem to be good, but not famous as of yet.
Again, thanks much for the input........

I just got a PM from Lars. He knows who I am talking about, as he met with them also. He is looking into his GAF bag of tricks to find the calling card.
The name Markum comes to mind.

I think so Sherwood, but not 100%. The name Markum Motors sticks in my mind. But, if they were at GAF, then it WAS them. I'll call them tomorrow. They stayed at the Holiday Inn where I did.

Rick,

Markum Motors is Larry Markum's place in Burbank CA.... used to be Dick's Porsche Repair before that... My engine guy Richard, works for Larry during the day... Markum Motors always has a booth at the GAF... it's predominately a 356 repair and restoration shop...

You probably got them confused with who ever was next or around them...

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Rick, tell him you're a buddy of mine (it's sure to cost you double!). He's a great wrench, does a great job rebuilding carbs, etc.
