Default Need suggestion from those in Seattle/Bellevue

Seeing who you guys recommend for doing a thorough PPI, whether dealer or independent shop. Whoever you recommend, if you have a contact name even better. Helping my dad as hes looking to purchase his first porsche and needs to have this done.

Also, ill be back in town visiting my family/friends nov 27-dec 2, so would be cool to meet up with anyone thats around then.

Where is the car located specifically?

Bellevue you can go to barrier Porsche or Cantrell Motorsports (my mechanic).

Seattle I would call Gerber motorwerks, talk to charles dundon. (PJ's mechanic)

The car is in Bellevue. As a side note, Barrier Porsche no longer does PPIs as they got sued.

Cantrell is who I've heard about up there. Guys at my shop (BBI) know them really well and speak highly of them.

Congrats to your dad!!!

Chris Powell in Bellevue, WA has a great reputation and is highly recommended on several boards.

Thanks for all the suggestions, had him speak with Colin.

Now, one more, there is also a car he is considering in Bend, Oregon, anyone know a Cantrell equivalent down in Oregon, even if its all the way in Portland.

Both are good options from personal experiences:

Cantrell did a small job on my car many years ago. Great service and people.

Charles @ Gerber most recently did my coolant pipe welding when it blew at The Ridge. Had a good chat about the specifics of the work. Certainly would trust my car with him and his shop again.
