Default Indy Shop in Central Virginia?

Hey All,
I’ve inherited a 997 C2S Cabriolet about a year ago, and have been doing all the work myself so far. But would really appreciate recommendations on a good Indy Shop near by.

Also, my 997 spent most of its life in northern New Jersey, so there’s some nasty rust in front of the rear wheels. Really hurts my feelings. Not sure what the options are to repair this or who can do this sort of work?

Can anyone help me out?

Burleighs body shop in richmond for the body work.

Lufteknic for shop work. Also in richmond.

Yes I've used Luftechnics for a number of years. They are Porsche only and work on all years/models. Sorry for confusion!

1961Super90 - No problem, thanks for the information. They do look like a very qualified shop. A little bit further from me than I had hoped, but I fear there are not many options in my direct area (Lynchburg).

If you are willing to drive to Raleigh you might check out Road Scholars. They are well known and respected in the industry for their quality of service and restoration services. Owned by Cam Ingram and they also maintain the Ingram collection.

Ok, I will keep Road Scholars in mind. Raleigh is a bit far from here, but it’s always good to have options.

Thanks for the info gopirates!


- plus its also my alma-mater, Go Wolf Pack!
