Default Holt Motorsports in West Chester PA? Any comments

What is Holt Motorsports like.

Does anyone have advice on a good shop to do a PPI in that area? Or do they do their own?

PPI at Dougherty's in West Chester or Performance Automotive in Malvern.

Holt's has beautiful cars. They're selectivity (is that a word) is second to no one on the East coast. Of course, you'll pay for that.

Bought my car from Holt's and had my PPI at Dougherty. Both great experiences. Dougherty deals with Holt all the time but they are working for you and will give an honest PPI.

Best of luck.

I bought from Holt and am a happy customer.

I used Possum Hollow Motorsportsfor my PPI, and subsequently used them to service the vehicle, even thought I lived in NYC.

Bill Boys at has HUGE aircooled expertise, and the level of service is second-to-none.

Good luck

+1 ...between Tim sourcing the car and Bill Boys covering the PPI you'll never get closer to the gaurantee of a buying a great car.

+2 on using Bill Boys at Possum Hollow to do the ppi...his knowledge, experience and personality is second to none. I now drive my car to his shop (an hour from my home) because I won't let anyone else touch the car - including the dealer 3 miles from me who still have air cooled guys working there.

I bought my 993 there in June and the entire experience, from start to finish, went great! Highly recommended!

I have driven it almost 2000 miles so far, with ZERO problems.

As a first-time Porsche owner, one of the best parts was how much I learned about the cars. Tim and his staff are super knowledgeable and they took the time to educate me on the differences between the various models, years, etc., and what to look out for. They were very helpful in always answering the MANY questions I had, as a new owner.

Good luck, have fun!

I bought my car there 4 years ago next week. It has been a great car and Tim was great to deal with.

I sold one of their buyers my 95 NB NA a few months ago. It was a very smooth deal.... I think they are still selling it as evidenced by its picture on their website. Very good people to deal with on both ends I'm told.

I went past Tim's place this summer when I visited the US. Great service and knowledgable people.
