So, why not stick w/ West Houston Porsche then?

If that is too far out, try a search for 'Houston PPI' and a bunch of threads should come up. I bet if you read down far enough the names for various PPI in different parts of Houston will show up.

Happy reading...

Call Mike callas at Rennsport in Sealy.
There is no better to use in Houston Area on 993's. If you are serious, than deliver it to him. He will tell you all about the car.

+993. Mike is THE best! I really miss the times spend at his shop. He is the only person I would trust blindly. He is THAT good.

Swiss Garage on Alabama will still do PPIs. Several of the garages listed in prior posts will no longer do them.

Michael, talk to Carlos at west Houston Porsche and maybe you guys can work something out with the PPI issue, they have 2 of the best air cooled mechanics working there now, I can help you look at the car if you want, but I can't do a compression test but I can handle the rest
And yes I'm lucky to be 20 min with NO traffic to reensport

Yeah...like 45 min from Katy to Sealy, though worth it every time, but I see you point of distance. Logistics is a challange in between. Used him for 3 years now. Saying that, it is your PPI and for that reason, I would only have him to look into it. No one else. Future service /maintenance is another challange down the road which I'm sure you will find a solution to, Rennsport or not.
