There are some downsides to this AOW place:

-no coffee and bagels
-no waiting area
-no couch
-no laptop work area
-no free wifi
-no leggy receptionist

Probably a few other things I can't think of right now.

He does have a cool-*** shop sign, though.

On the contrary. I now have a coffee machine in the shop, and the wifi range extender seems to work.

Were you pleased with the work performed?

I’ve replaced the seals on my 993, as well as on 6 other 993s - without dropping the engine.

Definitely has a cool *** shop sign doe.
Definitely no free wifi - The password has never been shared with me!
Leggy receptionist? You could argue that AOW has long lady legs....and he answers questions pretty quickly!

I suppose you could sit on all the pelican cases he has laying around

Complimentary Beer doe

Still worth it IMO
