Default PPI Recommendation in San Francisco (danville/san ramon) area

Dear Rennlisters,

Would to you get your recommendation on a good knowledgable shop that is familar with 993 to perform a PPI. Car is located in the San Francisco area (danville/san ramon). I am located in Washington state, so I have no clue where to start.

Thanks in advance!

Kahlers in Dublin will take good care of you.

Also happy to eyeball the car for you if you want.

I had a PPI done on an '89 targa by S-Car-Go in Marin County. I was very impressed. Ask for Rob King.

Eric at Pacific Power Motorsports in Concord (closer to Danville/San Ramon), or Rob King at S-Car-Go Racing (about an hour drive away in San Rafael).

If you're gonna go that far, you should also consider Bob Grigsby at RMG in Sunnyvale.

Here is the list of shops that I compiled for a potential buyer for my car. Most of the shops are in the South Bay and Peninsula. Note that the price for the services are for my Turbo. But PPI prices should be about the same. Also left a few personal notes.

Modderman in Mountain View
http://www.modderman.com/
PPI w/compression & leakdown 350.00
60k service 1150.00
Comes highly recommended but have never used them. Prices seem very very good. Owner, Dave, wrenches Porsche for the American Le Mans Series.

Kahlers in Dublin
http://www.kahlers.com/
PPI w/compression 585.00 w/leakdown 800.00
60k service 1400.00
I've used them for my brake flush and oil change. More expensive but with excellent customer service. Just more convenient for me since it's 5 min from my house. Services a lot of BMW, MBZ.

RGM in Sunnyvale
http://www.realmeangarage.com/
PPI w/compression 280.00 w/leakdown 420.00
60k service 2500.00
Comes highly recommended. Service seems way way high

Dons Autowerk in Campbell
http://donsautowerks.com/
PPI w/leakdown 250.00
60k service 1400.00
I've used Don when I lived near him for minor stuff on my other Porsche. Old timer with a lot of knowledge

Rennwerks in Campbell
http://www.rennwerksperformance.com/
waiting for call back with estimate...still
They are probably better for newer Porsche, plus I didn't get a good vibe talking to him on the phone.

BTM Motorwerks in Campbell
http://btmmotorwerks.reachlocal.net/index.html
Left a message, have not received a call back. used to be the old CarreraTech
