I need a recommendation for a good PPI in SFO for prospective purchase. Car was most recently serviced (January) at The Stable. Go with them or consider any others?

Thanks,
Morgan

I just met the manager of Cars Dawydiak (www.carsauto.com), was a very nice guy. They have a showroom full of Porsche's (from early 70's to 2004) and he informed me that they could do anything I wanted to a Porsche. They are also almost right across the street from the Stable so its an easier location if the car is in the city.

I had 2 PPI's last year done by Al at the Stable. Very knowledgable, very fair price. I don't think you could go wrong there. I didn't buy either car, let's just say he caught significant stuff ($$) that could have easily been overlooked by someone less thorough.

Rob @ SCARGO http://www.scargoracing.com is A+. The stable is good as well from what I hear, but you might want Rob to sanity check that they were on top of it.

Hey guys, thanks for these recommendations. I will check in with Al at The Stable and Rob at SCARGO.

Ironically, the car has been located through Cars Dawydiak and self-stated: they told me they HATE the Stable…Perhaps good reason for the PPI to be performed there. Not sure how willing they’d be to get it out to Rob's place in San Rafael, but I'll ask.

A couple of past threads. PM me if you want. I've been looing at Dawydiak's cars forever. Are you looking at one on the floor? Or found another?

Ron gave me the same b.s. about not taking the car to the Stable, but S-CAR-GO ($375 quote) was ok. The Stable was less, and supposedly very thorough.

Jeff -That is SO ironic about your own dealings with Ron. Feels like I'm in the same boat. He wants me to use their own shop for the PPI...ummmm, don't think so. He’s been really tenacious in trying to talk me out of going to the Stable –or anyone for that matter.

I spoke with Rob at S-CAR-GO and plan to go with him. I figure that’s a fair compromise, if they are that bent out of shape about dealing with the Stable. Not sure why I’m even working so much to accommodate them. Certainly does makes me wonder what they're worried about the other shop finding...

Thanks for the links and the general head’s up on your experiences; I’ll PM to follow up for more details.

Anyone else have good/bad experience with these guys?

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the recommendations on the PPI.

Garrett & Kenny: I went with Rob at S-CAR-GO Racing and he was great! Pricy, but very thorough and gave me the confidence to buy -sight unseen. He said it came out as one of the sweetest 964 series he's ever checked! So I bought it...

Jeff, thanks for all the help checking out the car for me and advice on the dealer. It arrived safe and sound. I hope you got that Arctic Beauty you were pursuing in Colorado???

Congrats! I saw your car in their showroom about a month ago... looked pretty sweet. You've got a great car.

Nice car, but wait! Rob said that about mine too! Just joking!

MorganB1

Yeah...guess I "bought" in on Rob's pitch as well as the car.

Really good #'s on the leak down though: 0% on #3-6 and 1% on the other two.

Thanks again Kenny; I continue to follow posts by you & Garrett for track performance advice!
