Does anyone know of a suitable mechanic in Fresno, CA to perform a PPI on an older 911.

I live in Seattle, and need someone who can check for rust, and the condition of the engine and tranny.

I have found a 911 that seems to be a good deal, and need it checked out prior to traveling down to try to buy it.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Or... Is there anyone who could take a quick look at a car in Fresno.

My main concern is rust, and whether the body is strait.

Thanks,

Jason,

Here's a mechanic in Fresno who could probably do a PPI for you:

Arcane Automotive
Kevin Molineaux
1861 E Gettysburg
Fresno, CA 93726
(559) 230-1041

I have no affiliation with Kevin or Arcane Automotive besides the fact that he was my autocross instructor at one of the PCA Zone Autocross schools.

You might also check with the Sequoia Region of the PCA to see if they have any shops they recommend for PPI's on early 911's. Here is a link to their website: http://www.pca.org/sqa/

Good luck!

Thanks Melissa, excellent referral!

Kevin at Arcane Automotive was actually familiar with particular 911 I was thinking about buying, as he had installed the engine and done other work on it.

This is my first PPI I have ever had done, and I have to say, well worth the money! I avoided the potential purchase of a money pit! I have never been happier not purchasing a car in all of my life!

Thanks again,

Good luck in finding the right 911!
