Default Indy near Phila for IMS upgrade

I have a 2002 cab that I am considering getting the IMS upgrade done on. Does anyone have recomendations for a mechanic near Phila? I have used Galbraith years ago on an '87 911 cab.

I keep reading about the failures and think I need to consider this. The car has 41k and is perfect in every respect. I was going to wait till I needed a clutch but I continue to worry.

Any recomendations?

In Philly: Woodlawn in Germantown.

Western burbs: lots of good ones out in Chester county--Dougherty's in West Chester, Performance Automotive in Malvern, Possum Hollow in Phoenixville.

+1 For Dougherty's. They did my PPI and were very good.

I don't know if anyone in this area has had the retrofit bearing installed yet so it may be new to every indy in this area.

It's something I will consider once my CPO warranty is gone in 2011.

I know that Dougherty's is aware of the retrofit, as I discussed it with them at the PPI for my 996. I don't know if they've done any yet.

First time shops have no issues. The first time they do the procedure I am available for LIVE support while the bearing is being extracted (by appointment).
