PPI in Denver
Hi gang. I've been lurking for a while and am getting ready to pull the trigger on getting a 996 (C4 coupe). I've seen eurosport recommended several times for the PPI but two of the three cars on the short list are serviced there. Any other recommendations?
I have my allroad serviced at Prestige and have been happy. Are they as good on the P side of the house?

First there are several Eurosports. The one in Englewood (on Union) is the one to check out for PPI. Talk to Orrin and tell him I sent you. If they have been serviceing the car that is even better isn't it? I have no love for Prestige (heck they didn't even know standard functions of my Turbo). The service manager for P-cars is an *sshole (although he may have left for Gebhardt in Boulder, but I have not confirmed this). I have found Stevinson to be the best dealer in the area.

Well I have to disagree about Stevinson being the best dealer in the area. After a dealing with them I would never go back. Maybe thier service dept. is better then the sales guys, but i'll never find out. Most of the Porsche dealer here in Colorado is a crap shot at best.

Are you local? I would be happy to look at the car with you. I have had a few 996's and I have a good idea of what to look out for.
For a PPI...
PorscheSpeeddemon is a rennlist member and mechanic over at Stevinson. He replaced a seal and did my alignment last week. I would take it to Stevinson and ask for Chance. He knows his stuff and knows what to look for. i.e. Joking around I asked why my car was not washed when I picked it up. (It was raining earlier that day) He said I didn't think you would want anyone at the dealership touching your paint. The guy knows the 996 very well unlike most mechanics he is a true Porsche enthusiast.

It depends on who you talk to at each dealer- I have had good and bad experiences with all the dealers here in Denver. Some of the small independents are good also and sometimes less expensive. Overall I have had the best sales and service experience at Prestige in the last 5 years. When it was Stammler in boulder the sales were terrible but the service was ok- not sure now that gebhart bought them.

I have had very good service from Rick and Dave at Prestige and more recently at Boulder Porsche - Gerbhardt. Rick is good to work with as a service manager and Dave really knows the cars. Dave owns several Porsches, is a member of RMR, participates in club events and above all has worked on and knows the cars. He is also highly recommended by people who depend on him to service their race cars even flying him to events like last weekend in Daytona....

Holy Moley! You guys are great. My number one pick is having new rear skins put on today so I should have it off to Eurosport (Englewood) soon. RMS and coolant tank have been replaced already. We'll see if it was done right.

Southmoor Park. I'll definitely have to join the crew. Clear corners are already done. Think my first update is a head unit with bluetooth support or maybe an exhaust or maybe....ideas?
