Default Help - Mechanic needed in silicon valley

Greetings Rennlisters,
I recently moved to the south bay (near Mountain View and Palo Alto) and bought my first Porsche. I also just joined Rennlist, which appears to be a 'must do' for all Porsche owners! After keeping an eye out for 6 months I got a great deal (I think) on a 2012 997.2 C4 GTS with 47k miles. I'd like to have it checked out to make sure it's in good mechanical condition and identify if any modifications have been made (for example, to the suspension or exhaust). Can anyone help with a Porsche mechanic recommendation in the area? There are quite a few nearby but I'd rather go to someone with a good recommendation from your experience than to guess.
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Doug, the car came stock with the aero kit cup package.

One more reason to have it checked by a dealer, and Gunter in Fremont (easy access from Palo Alto/MV) is my best recommendation.

A second recommendation for Gunter and Porsche of Fremont. A stand up guy and excellent reputation.
I have two dealers by my house but drive an hour plus to see Gunter.
