Hello, new to the forum, recovering Porscheholic about to get a used 2009 Carrera S cab. I am flying to Philadelphia to inspect a CPO car at Porsche of the Main Line this weekend and I would like to get a second, independent, opinion of the car prior to purchase. Are there any recommendations for a good shop near New Town that can perform a PPI?

Thanks in advance!

You might try German Auto Specialists up in Plymouth Meeting. Probably 20 minutes though up the road from Newtown.

 

This place is close by ( 11.2 miles ) and has a good reputation with the local PCA:
Dougherty Automotive Services
17 Hagerty Blvd
West Chester, PA 19382

also 6.7 miles away there is
The Porsche Specialist
498 Reed Rd
Broomall, PA 19008
http://site.theporschespecialist.com/

 

Thank you for the suggestions Dgrayling and Away! Hopefully this will be the one for me.

 

Try polarporsche.com the guys name is yurii great guy he's about 25 minutes from Philly very smart guy. 609-969-9980. He's also a forum member

 

He's also got a 06 carrera s cab for sale on his website I saw it..it's really clean

 

I recommend German Auto Specialists without reservation. A few months ago, Porsche of Conshohocken was trying to offload on me a used 2011 Cayenne Turbo with an unreported front-end collision. GAS spotted this right away and stopped the inspection right there. They saved me from a terrible purchase decision while minimizing the PPI cost. That is some genuine customer care.

 

How much does German Auto Specialists charge for a PPI?

 

I ended up paying a small fee as GAS stopped the inspection on time. But if I remember correctly, they indicate prices on their website.

 

Plus 1 for GAS I've used them for repairs on my car. Closer to Main Line is Holt's. I've not used but they have a good reputation.

I have a 2010c4s that was recently bought from a dealer as a CPO.

I am planning to have the car checked by GAS next week to have a PPI inspection (yes, a post purchase inspection here).

So, would like to know if Porsche will approve repairs via GAS under CPO warranty if an issue is found? Has anyone tried this before?

Thx
