Default San Jose PPI for 993

Looking for recs for a PPI for a 993 in the San Jose area I am considering. I did a search and most threads are about 4 years old or drift. Porsche of Stevens Creek is not far away from the vehicle. Thanks in advance!

Lots of indies near us. I used RMG in Sunnyvale, but also had several other recommendations in the vicinity from Porsche owners I work with - RennShop, Modderman, Don Wise, and SportTech. Don't take it to the dealer.

I'll let you know how this goes. With the 993 prices I have, I may be forced to go with a 997.1 or 2. We are in Canterwood as an FYI.

The true cost of ownership is not measured solely by the purchase price.

Many folks around here like RMG, but I prefer RennShop in Mountain View. Marvin has an unmatched attention to detail. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-rennsho..._source=ishare

RMG did a most excellent job. I have decided not to look at this P car further due to mechanical and cosmetic issues. The pursuit continues! The 993 Targa MY '98 is my quest.

Please share some details. What was it that made it unappealing? What was the mileage, model, yr? What issues did they uncover?

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out, but glad you had a good experience with RMG, and yeah, tell us the deal.

I haven't done any price comparison of shops, but I take my 993 to RMG. And Bob really goes out of his way to take care of his customers.
