That's where I go. Service is A+ there. You can get a loaner, or they will even give you Metro card. I drive there, drop it off, then take the Metro in to work. The station is right there.

I am training myself to not be bothered by a few chips, and to think of them as reminders of good memories driving my car.

PPI (Pre Purchase Inspection) not PPF (Paint Protection Film).

Oops. Okay, I need to step down from my soap box.

Probably buying from the owner, not a dealer.

You'd still want to have it done by an independent shop unless is CPO

I recommend Porsche of Silverspring, MD over Porsche of Arlington.

Car has no warranty, expired. Would that stop you?

Of the other matter, if I were to do a PPI I would do it at Intersport Performance at Tysons and not at dealership.

Tyson's doesn't do PPIs. Arlington does - I had one done there on my previous 991.1S.

Intersport is pricey but I have heard great things about them - I would consider them for a PPI (I have never used them, though). There are a few other independents in the area that are pretty good, too, from what I have heard.

I have been going to Porsche of Tysons for over two and a half years for service/maintenance and have had nothing but great experience with them.

I have heard horror stories of trying to deal with Porsche of Tysons to buy new although I do have a friend that bought a used CPO 997 4S from them and had a great experience (he also had a great experience buying another CPO 997 S from Annapolis). Several people I have talked to have also had great experiences buying new and used from Silver Springs.

Not with a PPI and a fair price. Would be helpful to know the condition of the car and its history, of course.

I do all my business with Porsche of Tysons. Chad runs a great service shop.

For an independent PPI you could use Autobahn, Intersport, or ASG just to name a few.

Any oil change specials? I'm at my first one and want to have it done by Porsche, I have one for Rockville but I need to do inspection as well.

My personal preference is:
RRT Racing for all things relating to BMW
Intersport for Porsche
Glaswerks for auto detailing.

PS. There are many great places to take your cars in DMV area.
