I've used midwest eurosport and theyre pretty good. Expensive though. Thalmann's alignment is also excellent for alignment. They do corner balancing and they have a tiny garage with a lift just feet away from the waiting area so you can see exactly what they're doing/talk to them it was only 60$ for a regular alignment.

You definitely are better off learning as much as you can so you can wrench away on as much as you can. Few good shops in the area but not many.
Glad to see another local owner.

There are 'PCA endorsed' shops out there that, well, are not-so-good to put it nicely. This is NOT to say they are all like this. There are of course, plenty of good ones.
It could also be worthwhile to look into your local Audi chapter's recommendations.
It can definitely be frustrating, especially when you consider trustworthiness.
Take care,

1.5 negative, after the bump .4.....

heybif: I'm from you area, can you tell me what dealer you went to?
I just did an alinment on mine, I had seized up camber bolts on the struts
seems someone used a impact to tighten them and took most of the threads
out of the nuts...
For the rear there seems to be a special tool needed, but mine is on the
money so the tool got put on the back burner.

After the Don Rosen fiasco I chatted with folks and they recommended Woodlawn Auto in Germantown. They haven't done me dirty yet. Problem usually is there is a waiting list to get your car in for repairs.

Don Rosen. Haven't given them any money since. Been at least 6 years. I'll drive over to Cherry Hill or out to Willow Grove first.

They aren't really much less than what dealer charges, but they know their Porsches real well and have also worked on a lot of track cars.
