Any recommendations? The hunt is on, and I've found what looks to be a pretty good car in Kingston. Nothing doing yet - I have to sell my car first, and it's not exactly the market yet, but the price is good (at least for a pre-PPI price) and I'll likely proceed on it once my car's sold.

The closest shop I know of is Markus Blazsak's - I sent him an email yesterday to ask if he's able to do a PPI on a 911, but haven't heard back yet. The seller mentioned another shop, Svendson or something like that, never heard of them.

check Provinz Mag... there is list of all the Porsche Frendly shops in the GTA and Ontario...

Yep, last I checked there was nothing in there. I don't get it anymore, let my membership lapse.

Brian Madeley is probably the most flexible, and he works on Markus' cars... Where is the car?

PM me if you need some help.

Christien

The car is in Kingston - I don't know exactly where, specifically. Why doesn't Markus work on his own cars?

You aren't looking at that 996 TT for sale in town, are you?

Markus certainly works on his race cars -- I think it's more a function of balancing his time when Brian does something for him than anything else. I have his new email address kicking around, somewhere. PM me and I'll send it to you.

No, not a 996! It's a 3.2 cabrio. Which reminds me, if anyone knows of one for sale, please pass it my way!

As Charlie said earlier, Markus Blaszak is your best bet and if he's busy take it to Brian Madeley. Markus has a new email it is markus@kos.net. Brian's number is 613-634-0306. If you need anymore help let me know.

Christien

Thanks for the updated email address - that would explain why I didn't get a reply. I just resent the email to that address.

I don't suppose the owner of the slant-nose red 911 that I've been briefly admiring on Kingston roads is on this forum?

I've been taking my cars to Brian Madeley for quite a while and find that he will actually advise against work if he thinks it's not necessary.

Who is Markus Blaszak?

Markus is Canada's King of the 944: he's been active in racing them for many years, and owns a private shop just North of town.

Markus knows all Porsche models, his work is excellent and his pricing is very reasonable. He's located aprox 20km north of Kingston.
Highly recommended.
