Question PPI for San Francisco Bay Area

Hi,

Looking for a PPI in SF Bay area for a 993. I know there are lots of great shops in the area - welcome any suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

Foxman

Better to narrow down "Bay Area." Marin is half a state away from San Jose at certain times of the day.

I got my PPI done at RMG Enterprises in Sunnyvale and was pleased. They do not perform a leakdown test unless they see something to cause concern, but do perform compression tests and just about every thing else including cutting open the large oil filter and checking for debris in the oil. It takes several hours and is not cheap.

Nearer SF, I've heard some good things about Cars Dawydiak, the stable, and even Rector Porsche. There's also a mobile guy that goes to the car , Tom Amon?? I haven't been to any of these though, so don't hold me by my words ^^;

Too true. Be more specific as to where in the Bay Area and we can help you more.

In Marin I would use HiTec for a PPI. Stay away from the snail place.
In SF I would use Dawydiak.

Thanks you all for the recommendations (and the geography lesson - LOL). RMG seems to get high marks, and they're quite near!

Cheers!
