Default Looking for Porsche shops throughout the country

I need everyone’s help….

I get several emails from Rennlisters looking for racecars and parts. It seems looking for a new racecar or a simple part can be an exhausting and expensive venture or simply a time waster. I have an idea, but I need your help.

I am going to compile a list of as many reputable Porsche shops as possible. I need you to let me know who you use for service, parts, race preparation or just advice.

I will contact that shop and ask a few questions. With this information I will put together an “e-book” that will highlight what the shop specializes in, what services they offer, do they offer parts (used and new), do they sell cars and racecars, where they are located, and contact information via email and telephone.

With this e-book, you can use it for a reference. For example, if you are looking for a GT3 Cup, you can go to the shops that service these cars and ask if they have any customer car that are for sale or going to be for sale. This book could help you find a shop when you are out of town or at the track. But it wouldn’t be limited to race or track cars. Have you ever needed a part and could find it? Think how easy it might be to email several shops at one time to try to find what you are looking for!

If you are familiar with the SEMA membership book, this will have a very similar format. I am going to try to categorize each shop by what they sell, i.e. racecars, proprietary parts, new car take offs, etc.

I thought this might help someone when they were looking for a Porsche Repair Shop in a particular area, or looking for that racecar or Porsche parts that is for sale.

The list, e-book, will be available “FREE” to all the Porsche enthusiasts, by simply sending me an email.

Best of all, it will be updated regularly, and you would be sent any updates via email.

This will take a lot of work to put together, but I think it will be a good resource for all of us, so anything you could help me with would be appreciated.

Please email me at Clubrcr@comcast.net with what shop you use and a contact name.

Thanks

A short time ago, I started asking for help compling a list of Porsche shops throughout the country. I want to thank everyone who has sent me an email, responed with a post, or just PMed me.

But I think I wasn't as clear I needed to be. I am looking for ALL shops, not just race shops. I want to be able to list as many shops as possible so you and I can find them if needed. For example, I need shop people needing PPIs for buying cars out of state, people need names when they move to a new area, etc.

If you know of any shops, please let me know. I am going to give everyone the opportunity to get this information for FREE when I am finished. Your help makes this a lot easier and quicker.

Thanks again, and feel free to email me with any shop names and their contacts, or comments, suggestions, even possible names for this directory etc.
