Default New to Porsche; Need good Indy in Raleigh Area

After 6 BMW's (loved them all) I found an extremely clean CPO 997.1 Cab, 6 speed, Custom Tailoring, Bose, Power Seats, BiXenon and 19" Sport Design Wheels in Seal Grey Metallic.

Its been two weeks and I can't wipe the smile off my face. Should have done this sooner, particularly since, well, I'm over 50...but who cares.

Anyhow, I have always been very conservative with my maintenance and I like to do fluid and other changes at least twice as often as the factory "specs". I'd like recommendations on good Indy's in the Raleigh, NC area. I live in Cary.

After things settle down, I'll write a post with more detailed impressions.

Try Brad at "The Digital Chassis" in Durham. He mainly does wheels, alignments, brakes, suspension but can certainly recommend other indies for the rest.

I am not sure he is still there but he used to be very good when I was living in the triangle.

Hope this helps,

T.

Congrats Jasper!
I can highly recommend European Performance. Jimmy and the crew can take care of your car. Visit the shop and you'll see what I mean (huge, clean, lots of new Porsches on the lifts). They are located less than a mile from the RBC Center...

and, thirds on Brad being the Man!

Jasper,
Both of these are great sources for support and service. I have had both shops do work and they are very good.
Join the local PCA at Jasons in Brier Creek every Sat morning for coffee and BS!!

Some of the guys get there early, around 8:00-8:30. More people arrive around 9:00. On the first Saturday of each month, there is a joint get together with the Italians. Makes for some very nice scenery.
