Depends on what year/model you're looking at.
In general though, Carousel Porsche/Audi is a reputable dealer who will steer you straight.

Haven't had any work done there so I can't testify as to how good they are but I know they are in the Twin Cities area. Check out there website <a href="http://www.the-nurburgring.com/" target="_blank">http://www.the-nurburgring.com/</a>

What car are you looking at?

There are a number of good shops around. Where is the car located (i.e. Mpls side of town or St. Paul side)? Nurburgring is pretty expensive but they do know air-cooled Porsches well. I bring my car to Joe Jeppesen at Jeppesen Imports in Eden Prairie. Obviously, I highly recommend him...and his prices are very reasonable. Joe is the head mechanic for <a href="http://www.porsche.ru/porsches/rufrace.htm" target="_blank">Steve Beddor's Ruf/Porsche</a> race team. I've also had luck with German Auto Works in St. Louis Park.


Bob: I just checked out your website. VERY impressive. I'd love to check out your car when you get it back together. It's going to be GORGEOUS!!!

Have you seen the car in person? I work in Eden Prairie and would be willing to take a look at for you as well, if needed...obviously not a PPI but as an enthusiast and give you my impression. I'd suggest taking the car to Jeppesen Imports...it's convenient given the location.

I tried looking for the number but couldn't find a listing. I plan on taking it there but would like to have a local look at it if possible. If you could take a look at it I'd be grateful.

that car is going to sell fast, provided it's in as good shape as it should be....I would move quickly (but get a PPI). I drooled over it when I saw it in the paper last Sunday.

I'm assuming its the Turbo with VERY low miles and a VERY low price (relatively).

Nordstern, the local PCA chapter, has several shops listed at <a href="http://www.nordstern.org/Tech/Shops.html" target="_blank">http://www.nordstern.org/Tech/Shops.html</a>

I have used Jeppeson and Courtney Truck Service for my PPI's and other service. The others have good reputations as well.
