Sure would love another Northern CT independent shop!

Hey guys

In the wake of HRM closing, I do miss having a CT enthusiast oriented shop. I know another has formed in NY, but that’s still a 3-4 hour round trip for me, hardly convenient.

Does anyone have any independents they work with in CT? I would love it if a race shop like Farnbacher Loles or something local to New Haven or Hartford would open up

Farnbacher Loles has a shop in Danbury. I wouldn't mind getting together with some other guys and maybe setting up such a facility

I called them once, they're great folks, albeit a little expensive. I also have a buddy in Oxford CT that does porsche only service/race prep:
Daniel Jacobs LLC - Porsche Service, Maintenance, Repair and Race Preparation in CT

That has a lot of what we would need.

I stopped in Daniel Jacobs earlier this week, it's a very nice set up with service and associated retail store.
