I'm going to look at a 2006 Boxster at Carmax today and was wondering if anyone can recommend a shop in Houston, TX (League City area) to get a PPI. I initially purchased a MB SLK350 but will be returning it to them today due to a PPI done at the MB dealership which shows oil leaks and bad struts. The MB dealership doesn't work on Porsche.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Pro Technik by HWY59 and Bissonnet and ask for Sam Shalala. He is the best independent Porsche mechanic inside Houston. There are not any reputable Porsche mechanics in the League City area to my knowledge.
If you want the best Porsche mechanic in the US, you havo to go to Rennsport in Sealy, Tx and ask for Mike Callas. Maybe a bit out of your way, but well worth it!

Thanks for the mechanic info. I did buy the Boxster and will keep the mechanic info in my back pocket (hopefully I won't need it). I also purchased the extended warranty. Now I just need to learn my car and I'm hoping ya'll won't get upset if I ask dumb questions.

Here is my first. This car doesn't have a spare, the dealer advised that you must use the Fix-a-flat type stuff included in the trunk then get it to a Porsche dealer for a new tire. Is it illogical for me to think that I should be able to purchase tires at Discount Tire, Firestone, etc? I'm not planning on needing tires anytime soon but want to be prepared.

Didn't Pro Technik go out of business like 6 or 7 months ago?

Yep.

Koby Motors (houston) did a PPI for me on a 2004 Boxster S, I'd use them again.
