Default S2000 mechanic in Pittsburgh

I'm new to S2000's, just got it back in April 2015. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a top flight S2000 mechanic in the Pittsburgh area

First thing would be to have the valve retainers looked at (it's a 2002 only 40000 mi.) I understand that could be a problem on AP1s.

Yeah if it is an AP1 the retainers can crack if the engine over revved. Good news is you can replace it with the AP2 retainers and then you don't have to worry about that issue again.
