For a 991 C4S. Seller is Motor Werks of Barrington. Any feedback on them is also appreciated.

Try Fischer Motors in Barrington. They are a Porsche specialty shop. Fischer is heavily involved in the local PCA chapter.

I got both my macan turbo (used) and carrera T at motorwerks. I worked with Salmaan (also a rennlist member). Good experience both times.

Were they flexible on price or pretty firm?
Thanks.

Depends how much they dropped the price to begin with. They usually have more room if its a newer listing. They tend to drop the price more aggressively if its bee sitting for a month or two. They are usually very competitive for the area

Porsche Exchange in Highland Park will do it

+1 for Fischer on the PPI, Excellent shop.

Bought my 996, 981 and 991 from MW. Can't say enough good things about them.

@Vjgtrybno1: We have a great Porsche tech in Chicago who could travel out to the car for a full PPI. Please let me know if we can help. Thanks!

You should look for Chris Roehm at MotorWerks. Has like 20yrs+ there and does a lot of tracking. Most knowledgeable PA I've met, and you'll never wait long for a call back if you miss him.

Here are two more to consider, that I recently learned about. No direct experience yet.:

1) Cary, IL (about 8 miles from Barrington). Manfred's. Owner is Alex. Heard good things about them,

2) Behind Fischer is a new(er) place called Lake Barrington Motorsports.

Motorwerks is ok. Talk to Ken Bettz.
Loeber or Joe Rizza Porsche are my go to dealers.

I just dropped my car off at Midwest Eurosports for an exhaust install. They are a Porsche specialist and PPIs. They're in Bensenville, so kinda a trip. But they know their stuff.

I had been dealing with Motor Werks for many years over the course of 1 Boxster S, 2 Cayman S and one Cayman Base. They were leases. After my last lease (2014 Cayman base) I decided I definitely didn't want to go with a turbo engine. I knew I wanted that natural 6, and I had the opportunity to drive a friends 86 Carrera. That was all it took. I got a 78 911 that I love more every day. I tried getting stuff done to it at Motor Works and they are just way too expensive and quite possibly under qualified. Fischer has been my shop since I got the car. They definitely know plenty and the shop is run by a father and son. I will never go to Motor Werks again for a variety of reasons. Porsche Exchange in Highland Park is a much better dealer if thats what you ever need.
