IMS Replacement
Hi All, I have a 2000 Boxster S and have a RMS leak and plan to have the RMS and IMS replaced sometime in the spring. I've narrowed down to four. Has anyone have any experience with this type of work with the following shops? I

I've had good experiences with Autowerks and with Mantis. I trust both of these shops. Fiorano is also very capable, from what I've heard, but no first-hand experience myself. Never heard of the other 2.

Thanks for the feedback. I should have mentioned that the IMS will be the LN Engineering bearing. As for price, as low as $1800 and up. I dont mind paying a little more with the peace of mind of having it done right.

Hey Guys, spoke to AutoWerks today and have decided to go with them. As mentioned from other members they have a lot of experience and don't want to chance it to save a couple hundred bucks.
Thanks again for the feedback. Will post once work is done. Thinking sometime in April.

Hi All, just wanted to give an update. Got the IMS Retrofit (Duel Row) and RMS replaced at Autowerks this past week. I just want to say that Domenic is a class act and really enjoyed my first experience with this shop. I thought the RMS was leaking but once they had the tranny apart it was the IMS not RMS. The clutch was still in great condition so i didn't replace it. The bearing had very little play but was filled with oil not grease. Price was very reasonable with 8 hrs labour and parts for total of $1700+tax.

In a world where negative feedback travels faster and farther than positive feedback, it's always nice to see EU Autowerks get nothing but the greatest. Glad to hear of your wonderful experience there!
