Default PPI Needed in Kansas City area

As the title reads, I'm looking to have a PPI done for a Porsche in the Kansas City area. Any shop recommendations?

Well they certainly look like some quirky characters...

Has anyone had direct experience with Bob Hindson Racing? They look to be the most Porsche oriented shop listed on Yelp.

I'm not from there, but I knew I remembered the name of that shop...this was a huge thread on the Rennlist GT3 board. Joyride and smash job on a GT3 and a whole bunch of horrible BS after the fact.

PorscheDoc is a sponsor here and has very good reviews.

You can also search on PPI Kansas City by title and find a lot of threads.

Hello, I am retired Engineer and love cars (also English), I helped a fellow Member last year to look at a 993 1995 with 40,000 miles on the car. I went and talked to owner, drove it severals times and did a complete report for the guy. He flew in, i picked him up at airport and took him to see car, he negotiated price and bought it. Had a great day, took him to eat Barbecue and drank some beer
I have had 35-40 cars so far, at this time I have ( 2- Porsches 993 conv and 996 targa) (2 BMW , 75 2002, 2000 Z3M ) , 2014 C AMG. I have also had several Lotus cars and go vintage racing with my friend that has a Lotus T23, so I love motor cars.
So if I can be of any help before you have a PPI, I would gladly help, PPI are subjective and I have only found them good if you are there looking at what they are looking and asking questions .
Thanks
John
