Default PPI and body/paintwork evaluation needed in or near Torrance, CA

Yes, third post in a day. Sorry, everyone.

I will likely be in need of a PPI in Torrance if the RennFax goes well. I know Callas Rennsport on Hawthorne Blvd. is well-respected, but I want to see what other shops people are recommending for PPIs and, more importantly, a leakdown. I'll also need an experienced body shop guy who knows Porsches/993s to check out the car I'm considering.

As an aside, I had an incredible paint guy, Dave Imes, look at a 993 in Denver. He taught me a lot about 993 paint. His info kept me from buying a car that had acid rain etching and very hard to discern sheet metal wrinkles under the rain gutters. He was recommended by Storz Garage and Chris Cervelli.

Arredondo Motorsports (Art is a great Indy and ex-Callas I believe)

There is also Dutch Treat.

Both are in Torrance.

While I have used them both, Callas is still my go-to. He does an amazing PPI. Pricey tho...

In no particular order:

Lomita 911, in Lomita,
Arredondo Motorsports, Art used to work at Callas
Accutrack Engineering, I think Accutrack is owned by Kenny of Auto Werkstatt, Grant is at Accutrack and used to work at Callas,
Ruben Morales, my go to, ruben@everyonesgarage.com, in Harbor city

For body work, Sterling Auto Body, ask for Lars.

I have a paint thickness gauge, and can look at the bodywork later this week if needed.
