Need to find a porsche shop in PA asap.
I found a 951 that i plan to buy next week pending a PPI at a good shop. The car is in Lansdale, PA can anyone give me the name and number of a shop around that area so i can start making phone calls tomorrow?
Unfortunately i cant go look at the car in person before i buy it so i need a shop that can be trusted. The good thing is that the seller is from rennlist forums and the people on here tend to be very honest imho so there shouldnt be anything unexpected.

there are some numbers/links to shops in that area in this <a href="http://forums.rennlist.com/forums/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=016155#000000" target="_blank">post</a> ..... the closest to lansdale would be dinardo's....about 15 miles. i had my car ppi'd there and have had good experiences w/ them (also great cause i work a block away). as for trusted i give them a thumbs up...right now they have (also sell cars) 2-924s, a 928s4, a 930 slant, a boxster, a 993 (can you tell where my attention is when driving by hehehe).
ps: if you end up stopping in thier shop check out the picture of the son on the wall in the office...where most people have pictures of thier family up at work he has a pic of him grinning ear to ear working on a v12 ferrari engine...now thats when you know the guys are sportscar nuts too.
best of luck

Call these guys, they just rebuilt my entire NA 944 and it runs like brand new.
Pete and Paul @ Performance Auto, 610 695 9545.
Good guys, not rip offs and very capable, honest mechanics. (Near Valley Forge, Great Valley around 40 minutes from Landsale)

It belongs to a fellow rennlister, it isnt highly modified like the technodyne car i was going for but it looks great and has less miles on it. Ill upload photos and what not when i get it (next week hopefully?!)
