Default PPI needed in Boston, MA.

Hello, new member here.

Currently negotiating the purchase of a 1995 993 C4 Cabriolet and I am at the PPI stage. I thought I would ask here for a recommended Porsche tech to perform a PPI on this car.

Here is my short list of possible mechanics in no particular order, just the results of some googling:

Randolph Racing, Randolph MA
German Performance Services, Cambridge MA
Herb Chambers Porsche, Boston, MA
Clair Porsche, Westwood, MA
Porsche of Burlington, Burlington, MA

Please let me know of your recommendations.

Thanks!

I've used both Gerry at EPE and Mark at GPS and have had happy, fulfilling experiences with both garages. I went in without any relationship at all with either and I was treated well by both. GPS is much more convenient for me but EPE is right on the commuter rail line so even going out to Natick isn't too bad.

You'll see a lot of cool cars at EPE.

Fred, is it the red car that's garaged at a condo in Boston? I looked it over a couple of weeks ago, and wound up buying a different car. Happy to give you advice if you want a local opinion.

Jerry's the right guy to do the PPI.

Yes, Jerry at EPE would be my first choice. If the car is on the North Shore, Rick at Autobahn Performance is also highly regarded.

Whatcha looking at, Scott? If you want a set of eyes on it, let me know.
