Default Riverside, CA PPI choice: Precision Motion OR Specialized Porsche Service?

I'm scrutinizing a mid-1980's Carrera 3.2 to purchase and it's located in Riverside, CA. The car must be PPI'd in Riverside (so shops in surrounding areas are NOT an option) and the seller and I have narrowed down our PPI short list to two independent shops:

Precision Motion Porsche

OR

Specialized Porsche Service (owner: Jay Ward)

I've read that Precision Motion is better equipped for servicing newer Porsches, and has the specialist tools to do so, while Specialized is better suited for older Porsches. Can others lend their feedback on the above, and recommend one shop over the other for a mid-80's Carrera 3.2?

I've searched the archives and although there's some older commentary on Precision Motion I don't see a lot written about Specialized. I'm hoping for a review from someone who's used either shop recently for a PPI for a Carrera 3.2. Thanks. (Will probably cross-post this to the Pelican Parts forum also).

Thanks, but no thanks, Ed.

I was already aware of Walters but since reading this thread about how someone brought in their car for a warranty repair which subsequently was damaged while in Walters' care and how Walters refused responsibility, I've decided not to do business with this organization: LOOK OUT, Walter's Porsche, Riverside, CA
