Default Indy shop for PPI in Phoenix area?

I'm looking at a 2003 911 TT from long-distance, any recommendations for a good, honest shop with excellent communication skills? I would hope to get documentation from various tests, etc. Thanks.

When I was looking for a car down there, I was going to use Patrick Motorsports. The are pretty well known for 944 parts, engines, and modifications.
Phone is (602) 244-0911

Be sure to check type 1 and 2 over revs, coolant line welding or pinning, clutch slave and cylinder, and the back spoiler hydraulics.

The Turbos are great cars and have one of Porsche all time great engines.

First suggestion would be Robert Boreham at Boreham Motorsports in South Phoenix. Second would be Stuttgart Southwest in Tempe, third would be Becks European in Scottsdale.

Cheers

+1 on Robert Boreham ( https://www.facebook.com/rbmwins/) hes the most knowledgeable knows ours cars inside out. Stuttgart would be my second choice. Patrick's would only take air cooled Porsche. Becks European ok would be my last choice.

I would not recommend Becks. This missed a lot of stuff on my PPI like both window regulators, leaking spoiler Rams, coolant leak on lt front radiator hose, bad oil pressure sensor, bad power steering reservoir, and many more items.

Default Thanks!

appreciate the suggestions. I called Stuttgart and McIlvan, both seem like good options. (Got voicemail at Boreham)

I appreciate the recommendation but we have gotten away from doing PPIs. Too much other stuff going on and frankly I don't have a very thorough PPI program/inspection sheet put together. Would rather refer elsewhere than miss something a sale was contingent on.

Jack at Stuttgart Southwest is great for Porsche service in the valley. We refer a lot of service to him and have never had an issue.
