Default PPI near Bel Air

Looking at a 997.1 GT3 that’s in Bel Air, CA. Can anyone suggest a shop for a PPI that knows these cars well?

i know bbi in OC charges about $300 and i imagine gmg is similar. i'm not aware of any shops in LA that i would actually take my car to, they seem to have all closed shop in the last couple of years. anyone?

beverly hills porsche or south bay porsche can also do it if you want it to be 'official' with a dealership invoice/report.

Marc Bixen RedLine Service West LA is just a few miles down the road.

One of the best.

bh porsche is a joke and south bay ain't much better and bbi/gmg are in OC

LA has over 50+ porsche shops alone that could do a ppi on any gt3 lol

wait. do you even have a gt3? thanks for adding zero information to this thread. in fact i would say that you are providing negative value.

i'll add another name to the list, just because i like to provide actual value: "foreign sport technicians", in santa monica. they specialize in ferrari and porsche and are a mile from my house.

I called "foreign sport technicians" and they don't do PPI. Any other recommendations would be appreciated - car is in Santa Monica. Also, how much do I expect to pay for a PPI? Thanks.

I am looking for the same thing for a 991.1 GTS PPI. I looked up shops in Santa Monica and called The Werkstat at 310 310-3959. They do PPIs, but I have no idea if they are any good or not. Can anyone with knowledge about their shop chime in?

I just got off the phone with Paul at Foreign Sport Technology at 310 394-0369. He told me they do PPIs and the cost depends on how deep you want to dig into the car. In my case, a 2016 991.1 GTS with 24,000 miles will probably run about $ 300.
I hope this helps. There are many positive comments about this shop on many threads here. Paul said they have been in business for 45 years.
