Default PPI suggestions in Los Angeles

Any of you have any recommendations for a PPI in LA? I am going to try to get into to Callas Rennsport but would like a couple of backup recommendations in case they don't have any open appointments.

I already tried to get an appointment at Fusion Motorsports and they are booked solid next week.

Any ideas?

+1. These guys are my regular mechanics and they are one of the best in town. Ask for Mark, and tell him Philip in the silver C4S recommended you. Not affiliated, just a very satisfied customer of theirs.

+1. Art's the only person besides me to ever touch my car since I've owned it. He's one of the good ones.

I can't comment on having actual work done, but I had a PPI done at Stuttcar Service in Pasadena and Peter did a great job, was extremely thorough and was very reasonably priced (I want to say ~$155). He went into great detail on what was good and bad about the car and found a number of problem areas in nooks and crannies and saved me from buying a potential headache. http://www.stuttcarservice.com/

Peter is the best mechanic I've EVER used. Totally honest, highly skilled.

I wouldn't take a Porsche anywhere else. Totally worth the drive to Pasadena.

Can anyone else chime on Stuttcar Service? I live a few miles away from Pasadena and looking for a new shop to do maintenance work. The website threw me off, FREE PPI? What the... FREE and PORSCHE, two words that are never said in the same sentence.

Passed with flying colors and I am now on my 350 mile drive home. The guys at 200 North Motorworks were awesome to deal with, I highly recommend them.

Thanks again for the recommendations!
