Default Reliable INDY shop in the DFW area?

For those in the DFW area, any luck with a good, fair and reliable Indy shop?

I have been using one but have mixed feelings about them and would like to see other options.

thanks!

I am talking to RAC. Any idea about them? They seem very responsive.

I sold a 4S to RAC in 2018 from CA, and happened to purchase a GTS from RAC in 2024. GTS was in perfect condition as advertised. I also had them do some maintenance before picking it up (drive belt, plugs, etc.). Although it was a limited experience, if I lived in DFW I'd be giving them a try. A lot of great cars in there as well.

Mayo's Performance in Euless. Not just one of the best in DFW, one of the best in the country.

What are you needing to get done? I just used MC Squared Autosport in Lewisville for my pdk flywheel replacement. The were awesome and super knowledgeable. Michael actually did the PCA tech talk on the pdk this last weekend. They can do any service you need. It’s a small shop and their wait times aren’t anywhere close to Mayos wait times.

RAC is solid. bought and sold a 997.2 with them. maybe a bit higher in cost, but you do not have to question their knowledge or quality of work

Thank you all for your help.
I think I will give RAC a shot for my 40k service and see how it goes.

Love those guys. the shop in Lewisville is primarily 911s but they service my Cayenne and my wife's M440. The shop usually has a great mix of 911 model years at any given time. I like to swing my if I'm in the area just to see what's in the shop. Ya, I'm a car nerd.

It's a small data point, but I had the PPI done on my old 997 at Mayo Performance based on multiple recommendations on the 997 Rennlist forum. They were fantastic. Very knowledgable, upfront, great communication, etc. If I lived in the Dallas area (I'm in Colorado), I would definitely feel comfortable brining a modern 911 to them.
