A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I have a 1993 300ZX 2+2 that is in need of work.
My Mechanic after 9 years of being with him, has retired and I once again have to rebuild the repor I had with him with a new Mechanic.
I know I have some type of problem with my battery / altenator, and I have tons of problems with the electrial system; from turn singels not working but hazard lights do, power windows, power transmission, ect.
I have a feeling that the work needed to be done is not going to be cheap ($1000+).
Anyone know of a Mechanic in or around the Philadelphia Area that is trusted in terms of work and pricing?
THANKS!

Call Jeff at Z Car Source. 480-515-0360. I asked him for the best Philly mechanic to work on a 280Z and he suggested someone in Baltimore. Since I don't have the car yet I don't have the contact info, but apparently this guy is very good. Not sure if he works on newer Z's or just the old stuff, but worth a shot.

Vinhzxt is in the Philly area, is a good guy and loves working on Z's. You might want to look him up. I'm not sure if he actually has a full time shop though. You may be able to contact him through his Car domain web site.

Thanks. Spoke to a friend who I haven't seen in a while at the bar last night who I remembered being into cars, mustangs, ZXs, ect. He has a friend within my area that should be able to help me.
Thanks bem10001 and Phil280zxt.
