Mechanics in the Northeast?

[steve_b]

So, my recently purchased Sigma 140 has ceased to move due to a clutch problem - likely a failed concentric slave cylinder or other associated parts that live inside the bellhousing.  The Googles tell me that this will involve pulling/hoisting the engine out, which may be beyond my current level of DIY (unless I have no other option).  My normal mechanic is hesitant to take on the job due to his unfamiliarity with the some of the aspects of the car, but also because his lifts are unsuitable to Caterham frame (it would have to press against the body panel covered parts.

 

Does anyone here have recommendations for a shop in New England, preferably near Boston/Worcester that is comfortable working on this?  Someone who could install a dropped floor as well would be a plus.

Thanks, I've been in touch with Greg, but was hoping for something a little closer to home.

I agree, KTR would probably be the best option closest to the Boston/Worcester area.

I agree with KTR and have used them in the past, and they can do everything..

If I couldn't do a particular task myself, I'd take the Caterham to a race shop that specializes in formula cars. They'll be much more sympathetic to the car than some "tire and lube" shop.

edit: that's not a slight on KTR, I know nothing of them, I was speaking generically.

Another recommendation for KTR.  The only other shop in the area I can recommend with confidence is Boston Sportscar in Weston.  For both KTR and Boston Sportscar, the work you describe will be routine.  Whereas for most shops it risks stretching their familiar skills and comfort zone (despite being a fairly easy job).
