I did try the "search engine" but could not find a reputable shop in the area... car is located in New Smyrna Beach but Daytona Beach area is good enough...I got one single referral: "Kennedy Porsche Inc" but seller refuse to take the car there for mysterious reasons... go figure! Thanks in advance for any leads...

Pedro, if the seller is willing to drive to the Orlando area, there are a number of shops to choose from.

If not, a 993 owner, Black993 (Ryan) lives in Daytona Beach so perhaps contact him for a suggestion. I once called a recommended shop 50 miles from where I needed a PPI and asked them for a referral of someone close to where the car was located which they were able to provide. I hope it works out for you.

Many thanks Michael... I'll send a PM to Black993... the seller is "a pain"... unbelievable how a seller can be so intransigent... appreciate your kind help...

A notorious seller of Porsche cars and parts with the initials HB operates out of New Smyrna Beach. His reputation is such that he often uses a front man to handle his affairs. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

Thanks for the heads-up... seller refuses to take car to Kennedy Porsche...the only dedicated Porsche outfit in the area... he wants me to accept his 8 years old (13.000 miles) leak-down test as reference because "somebody" had his car damaged during a PPI... states low mileage but so far no proof e-mailed... time to "hit the road"... Thanks a lot...

Holy thread revival! I'm looking to do a PPI near Orlando FL, request your advice. I live in RI but my parents frequent Daytona and can help me out.

Thanks,

"damaged during a PPI"
