Default S. Cal PPI suggestion

Guys, between San Diego and Los Angeles who is the very, very best shop/mechanic to perform a very serious, very in-depth 993 Turbo PPI?

Thank you.

Tony Callas in Torrance. He is the BEST 993 mechanic on the West Coast.

I wanted to use Callas for my PPI but the price he quoted about gave me a heart attack. If price wasn't a factor I would have gone there.

Yes he is the BEST. He's also, by far, the most expensive. But the OP said he wants the BEST. Tony is that.

Concur with these opinions. Have had PPI dealings with Black Forest and was very pleased. See Jeff or Mark.

Tony Callas of Callas Rennsport, Torrance CA = A #1
He is thorough = more pricey than most, but I doubt that is a major concern for you.

Hergesheimer in Lake Forrest gets good reviews, but I was not impressed with my only interaction.

If in OC, Hergesheimer's in Lake Forest is a great choice. They really know 993's. I have had nothing but a great experience with them over the past 6 years.

They did a PPI on a 993 I was looking at (that I ended up not buying). Very thorough!

Marc Bixen at Redline Service in Los Angeles. Much better than Callas and much cheaper. Tell him Jay sent you.

Thanks everyone. Between your feedback here, my own knowledge and a couple of collectors not weighing in here, Tony Callas seems the best (price is not a factor). Also talking with Jae Lee at Mirage International.

RS Man - I never give up on any search, fear not.
