A little far from NYC, but Powertech in Rockaway did mine, along with a couple other little things. I was satisfied with the work.

I had mine done in Freeport, Long Island by Rudtners. I was very satisfied with the work.

Just had mine done at DeMan Motorsports in Blauvelt, NY.

Rick is a Porsche Indy and does excellent work.

+1 on Rudtner in Freeport.

Bill is the chief driving instructor for Metro PCA. A salesman at the Porsche dealership once said that Bill is different. Most shops race to get clients, but Bill gets clients so he can race. He treats your car as if it his own.

Thanks everyone.
I can't believe there is no one in NYC! These are all 50+ miles away from me

Town Porsche in Englewood NJ is familiar with the procedure and would probably give you a Porsche service loaner if you scheduled an appointment. They charge $148/hr labor though.

You could try Manhattan Motorcars for $189/hr.

I'd just like to update everyone and let you guys know that I did the IMS retrofit with Rich at ROCS Auto in Belleville. His knowledge and professionalism was superb to say the least, and I highly recommend them for the IMS retrofit, as well as ANY Porsche related work.

They did a whole bunch of other work on my car as well, and it's running excellent.
