Default Freemont California Porsche Shop for PPI??

All,

Looking at Purchasing 997 in Freemont Calif area and want to get PPI at Good reputable Indy shop or Dealer - I've purchased in Bay Area Downtown/Marin and south Burlingame on west side of water in past but not familiar with shops on east side of water in the Freemont area. *Fletcher-Jones Porsche in Freemont does not do PPI's/

Any help appreciated.

Thx in advance.

call TrackSpec Autosports - https://www.trackspecauto.com/ - ask for Jon, They've worked on my .1 mainly with suspension components, wheel & tire, alignment/corner balancing, etc. I don't know 100% if they can do a full PPI, but if they do, their level of service and quality of work carrying into it, I would trust them.

You can also call Silicon Valley Bimmer, my profile picture is actually my car outside of his shop, https://siliconvalleybimmer.com/ - about 20-30 minutes southbound in Santa Clara. Childhood friend of mine ask for Cardo, he also has personally cared for my car, including a full walk through of the car the day after I brought her home. Body and paint for my Aerokit along with install. He's scoped the cylinders, routinely does the oil changes, fluid refresh, etc.

If you need point-person and a set of eyes to go see the car, I'm very happy to assist as I'm able to. Message me if you need.

Thanks everyone! I prefer to stay in the Freemont area - Owner is a bit fussy about having to drive car too far away from his house. I can;t blame him as it is sort of a PITA.
Dr H appreciate you putting up the link---> Alekshop is one of the shops I had Googled/found but not familiar with. That link suggested Alekshop and after calling just now Alex owner answered after hours and sounded like a solid choice.
I'll keep looking but so far his shop seems to be a good choice.

I take my 08 4S to Fremont Porsche (still under warranty). They have been honest and tracked down a pain in the rear ODBII wire short for a reasonable amount of money. I started going there on the recommendation of the 928 group I belong to. I was told that Gunther is a top 997 tech and he is the one that found the wiring issue. I am not sure of any other places in the Fremont area.

Trackspec Autosports does PPI. I had mine done a while back and they thoroughly went through my car. Ask for Jon

Groov is back! I assume the recovery has gone well? Going for a MT or a PDK this time around based on the recovery?
