Question PPI in New Hope PA area?

Hello,

Not sure if this the correct area to post however,does anyone know of a reputable shop in the New Hope PA area to do a PPI including compression and leak down on a 993?

Thank you,

Erick

Holbert's Porsche is in Warrington, PA about 15 - 20 minutes away from New Hope. Is that too far?

There is also a dealer in Flemmington, NJ, about 15 minutes to the east.

Wait, if you are from West Chester, aren't there a couple of places nearby? That's near Holt's and I think some Rennlisters who bought from Holt's found some close shops to do the PPIs.

Possum Hollow Motorsports in Phoenixville, PA. I had a guy send a car I sold last year there and subsequently had them do the fixes they found. Been going there ever since. Their PPI was the most thorough going over a car I can possibly imagine ...missing trim screws were noted. They KNOW these cars.

Around WC there is a great place, Doughertys. But New Hope and probably the car are over an hour away.

Thank you for all of your input. I am looking at several high mileage cars, 80K plus and am somewhat reluctant to purchase without a proper PPI for the obvious expensive reasons.

Thanks again,

Erick

I second Possum Hollow. First-rate shop and very nice people to deal with in addition.

+3 On Possum Hollow - Bill and Gary know 993's cold. They do a lot of work for the area dealers, including Holt Motorsport.

+4 on Possum Hollow. I had my car to Bill several times this year. Like everyone else said, he knows 993s. And he explains everything he did to your car, and why.
