Default Looking for Capable Indy in Rhode Island

Hello all:
I am looking for a capable Indy in RI for clutch, RMS, IMSB, etc. preventative maintenance on my 2003 Carrera 4S. If you have knowledge of one such Indy, or more than one, I would be grateful if you would PM me. Actually, nearby Connecticut would be ok too.
Thanks again,
Rick

If you're looking for someone in the Westerly/Watch Hill area, call Buck at European Import Service. Haven't used him personally, but he knows the M96 very well.

I just used Jerry at EPE in Natick. I would recommend, even if it is a bit of a travel.

German Motors in Providence. No other shop worthwhile in New England

I’d highly suggest using one of LN Engineering’s preferred installers. Check their website for reasons why. There are many.

https://imsretrofit.com/preferred-installers/

I don’t see any in RI but there’s one in CT listed. I’m not sure how far you are from Mass but I had a good experience with South Shore Auto Works. I drove about 90 miles from NH to go there. Great service, turnaround time, and they gave me a loaner.

elwoodcg, Try Blair Talbot Motors in Dover. Closer to you and a pretty good shop. I had to use them and was not disappointed. Lots of cars at the shop and some really high end one too. I found out quite a few folks use them.

Also, the Danbury shop listed on the LN site is down by the NY border. Quite the distance, and lots of traffic.

Thanks for the tip. I came across them at one point but they fell off my radar. Hopefully, I’m through the major work requiring outside help. (knocks on wood)

Thanks all for your input. I tried a few of the guys around Providence but I didn't get a lot of enthusiasm.Maybe they are just busy right now. So I went to Porsche Warwick and was treated very well.They did a PPI for me and provided estimates on the MRS, clutch, flywheel, IMSB, and other maintenance items. The service people are very knowledgeable and helpful. So she will go in in early January for major surgery.
Thanks again all.
Rick
