I've been going to Autobahn in Peabody for 6 years - no issues at all. Cool little shop! They do lots of great stuff in there, and they let you watch. Ask for Mike.

Boston guys -
I need to have some work done on my 993. I'm doing Bilstien HDs, RS flywheel, clutch, and 60k service. To date my car has only been to Autobahn for oil changes. From all the searching on the web, it looks like I have a choice of 3 -Exotech, Autobahn, and EPE. Can you folks share some of your experiences with each of these shops? Ideallly, I'd like to get the parts from SunCoast or Vortex (read wholesale!), and pay labor to have the parts put in. I have no problem paying labor and profit, but Porsches prices are ridiculous. Porsche is making way too much margin on cars and won't be getting extra margin dollars from me buying parts from a dealer. I'm in manufacturing/engineering and have developed the motto "never pay retail". Some would say that makes me a cheapskate, I say it makes me an educated consumer.
Again, would love to hear thoughts on experience with each of these three shops.
Much appreciated - Aaron

I would recommend Bill Pfister/Eurotech in Framingham from when I lived in the area. I will also echo all of the good things you have heard about Jerry at EPE. Never heard a bad word about either.

Jerry at EPE has always taken care of my Cup car. Highly recommended.

Another big vote for Jerry at EPE.
You need to call him about having him install your parts-don't think that's going to fly. Regardless-been going there for 5 years since I bought my car. Top notch is all I can say.
