Default PPI for 993 in LAX / Santa Monica, CA area

I am in final stages of a 993 buy and need a PPI in the vicinity of LAX / Santa Monica. Looking for an independent Porsche specialist with air cooled cred - recommendations?

If the deal closes, I will share the details/pics. Fingers crossed.

Tony Callas at Callas Rennsport (Torrance, CA) knows a thing or two ....

Will not be cheap, will be thorough.



Closer to Santa Monica would be TRE (Dave B.) and Otto's (John).

Tony is the gold standard that all Porsche mechanics are measured against.

I know nothing about Chuck's white *ss...

I'll also throw Art Arredondo's name into the ring. He's an old Callas alumni who started his own shop (Arredondo Motorsports). He's the only person who has ever touched my car.

Give him a call and tell him Mike sent you. 310-787-7001

Otto's in Venice is very close to LAX, but I've never used him. Has a good reputation.

That's not true, my butt has been in your A8s... gosh that sounds really bad.

I sat in Mike's car once...

I also take my car to Art now, based on recommendations from both Mike and Chuck.
