RUF in Dallas: PPI $220, with compression test $440.

EPE in Natick/Boston: PPI $120, with compression test $240.

The above shops base their prices on the extra amt of time.

I would look outside of dealers.

When doing PPI's on 964's, I was quoted $500 at an indy in VA, $900 at a dealer in Chicago.

3.2 Carrera's were cheaper, $200-$250 most everywhere fo the whole enchilada.

I think between $300-$450 is a fair price. For $850-$1000, the mechanic had better be providing either a pallet of Vaseline or some 5'11", 115lb female entertainment. No offense to the gay contingent here on the 'List.

I don't know how hard is to get you guys plugs out. But compression test take about 1 minute per hole once the plugs are out. The leak down test about the same. Leak down testers are $100 and nice compression testers from $100-150. If you're in southwest FL pm me it'll cost a couple beers.
