Default PPI in Nashville?

Guys, I am looking at a car in the Nashville, TN area. Would like to avoid the dealer for the PPI.

Can anyone recommend a shop? FWIW, the car is actually in Franklin, so closer is better but not required.

Thanks in advance!

Hit up Brett Metzler at German Motorwerks. There are other more specialized Porsche shops here in town, but if I can’t fix it myself he’s the only one I take any of my cars to. He’s just did a clutch, flywheel, imsb, rms, brake fluid flush and inner/outer tie rod boots on my C4s and was very satisfied as is typical with his shop. I’m happy to answer any questions and potentially look at the car for you as well, time permitting.

Sure thing. And for what it’s worth, I’ve been very pleased dealing with a Porsche of Nashville. I find them to be anything but the typical car dealer. They’ve gone out of their way to help me with replacement parts and advice on my lowly 996.

My brother looked at the car for me today. At this point, I am rethinking if I want to go as far as a PPI. The deferred maintenance scares me to death!

Is it the silver one in Lebanon?
I have a friend who works at Porsche Nashville - they are a very passionate dealership and focused on providing great service.
German Motorworks is where I go to get my car worked on. He is very talented guy - they do extensive work on Ferraris and Lambos.

No, it was a blue 986 way south of town.

Not particularly convenient to Franklin unfortunately, but Renntag up north of town is a great shop. He only works on Porsche, he's been great to work with and his prices are very reasonable (even on parts). Can't say enough good things about him.

Speaking of Porsche shops in Franklin, have any of you guys use Fritz's or Wurster's? (Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread a little bit, but this is at least related)

Thanks for all the replies. Much appreciated.

However, the car is simply not what what I am looking for. Going to pass on it.
