Default Repair and Alignment near Boston

I'm looking for a reputable shop to do both repair and alignment work on my 997 somewhere preferable inside / along 95. Car needs a few things (spark plugs for example) that I'm not really sure I want to do myself, and has a bit of an alignment issue that the dealership hasn't been able to work out despite a few return visits. More than happy to visit two different places if there's a shop that's just tires and alignment work. Much appreciated.

There's a shop in Lexington that specializes in Porsche. I have never used them but I have considered going there when I need something. They seem to be reputable and much less expensive than the dealer.

I've heard mixed reviews about them, though this was through some Audi guys. I'd recommend European Performance Engineering. They're out in Natick, but only do Porsche work: http://www.epe.com/

Original "mechanic" in Auto Engineering is gone. There are in the process of finding a replacement.
There is something about Boston and finding a good Porsche shop. I have been in almost every shop within 495 zone and yet haven't sold my sole to anyone. Older Porsche, yes like EPE. But new stuff...
I have done my alignment in Autobahn in Peabody with Rick. Wasn't too bad until I was told to pay $50 for old bolts that never been even replaced. There is always something. I can share my thoughts if pmed.

I am open to any leads. Willing to travel to the right shop all over NE

I know Bill very well. He is the only one I could go if he has time which is not always. Like I said there is really no true Porsche race shops here who knows all the details for 997 platform for suspension, safety, and brake set ups.
Thank you.
