Default Recommended shop in Atlanta?

I am looking at a black/tan TT right now that is located in Atlanta. Do you guys have any recommendations on shops to take the car to for a PPI? Anyone in Atlanta maybe willing to even stop by and check the vehicle out? The initial findings on the car sound very promising and hope to try and schedule a PPI for this week.
Thanks in advance.

Of course! Avant is now up to 182k and running strong. I plan to keep it until she implodes, or my son gets ahold of it. Autosport Werks is a life saver with the S4, and wont ever let it die.

Pic of it on it's last trip over Cottonwood Pass on the way back from Crested Butte.

I am new to the area but have used Matthew at Motorwerks up in Cumming....north of the city. Was very please with their work also.

Open to taking a look at the car if you still need someone to check it out. I'm not a mechanic but I'm very picky and would be glad to give you my view. Dealer or Private party?

Thanks Steve. I have the OK from the private owner to have someone to come look at the car. I will send you a PM to see if you would have any time in the near future to look at the car.
I have a handful of places recommended by the owner and am going to call a few of them today. They are:
Auto Europe
Buckhead Imports

Sold the 993 4S to my father as he has always wanted one, so I am now looking at going back to the TT. Have been seriously considering the 996TT (I know, I know) but I just cant get past the look. I always remember how every time I parked the 993 I would turn around and look back at it. Not sure that would happen with the 996. I seem to have the issue of 'buy the newest you can afford' and the 'purchase what you really want' syndrom. Hence the 993 is back.

I will likely only drive it in the summer as I will keep the S4 Avant for the bad weather, but I am not going to say I will never drive the 993 in the winter. I might just have to buy the winter wheels/tires back from my father to do so.

Sounds good. What area of ATL is the car in? I'm in Buckhead but work in Alpharetta. Happy to go take a look.

I believe the owner is up towards Marietta. I am reading up on a few of the modifications on the car. Sounds like a very nice car but has a handful of serious modifications done to the engine.
