Default PPI Seattle Area - Help!

I may be looking to set-up a PPI shortly and would appreciate some guidance on a reputable and thorough air-cooled shop.
I searched the archives but was hoping to get some more current recommendations if things have changed out there.
Thanks!
Bob

I've used squires in the past. Honest and a straight shooter. squiresautowerke.com

Is the car you're considering at a dealer in the area? If you need a set of Rennlist eyeballs to take a look at the car for an independent opinion let me know. I'd be happy to check it out for you.

I've taken my car to Cantrell Motorsports and Group 2 Motorsports, both times for an alignment but I'm sure they do more than that. Both were great to work with.

+1 on Cantrell. They did my alignment and corner balance. Haven't used him for a PPI but he knows and tunes air-cooled Porsches.

What kind of car? Walkers ONLY does aircooled cars.
In Seattle you can't beat Walkers, Eastside (Bellevue area) you can't beat Redmond Euro.

My cars only go to Group 2 (wheels & suspension) & Redmond Euro for all else. But really all the shops mentioned are good places to go! We are very lucky that we have so many great places in the area!

I did my PPI at Akers Porsche Repair (206-329-5253) before shipping it out East. Good reputation and I was pleased with the result.

+1 for Denny and Mark Akers, they're located on Broadway in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. They've maintained my cars for 13 years as they are near my home and office.
