Hello,

Looking for a reputable Porsche shop in Philadelphia to do a PPI.

Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Down town (or near) would be best.

Thanks,

Last Porsche I bought I had John Banha at Woodlawn do the PPI. Website Here. The shop is near Center City.

Another good shop is Tillson Motorcars. They are good with Porsche's too. Website Here. Talk to Ed Tatios there (who is in Monterey at the concours at the moment, I think).

Ed has all the luck--those cars! Yes, running in GTC3 next weekend. Just need to get the passenger seat out, cool shirt cooler in, windows in, etc., etc.

Is your car tuned and ready to rumble?

Performance is a good shop, but not that close to Phila. Tillson's is off City Ave in Phila district.

Another recommendation for Woodlawn. Banha is top notch! Others ship cars to him when they absolutely give up.

Forgot to note the John Banha (bon-ya) is at Summit Point yesterday and today with the local Porsche Club. Probably in the shop on Monday. Jack Banha, his brother, is there today and does the scheduling. I know their schedule as I had the wife's car in yesterday to have an oil level sensor replaced.

Both Woodlawn and Tillson are Bosch Service Centers.
