Auto Import (mechanic Jason Norman 613-226-7902) is the largest independent in town and they work on all models of Porsche, although I don't know how many Cayennes they see. The other one I'd recommend is Autobahn Tuning in Manotick (Todd Anderson 613-692-1546), with the same caviat.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. I will try the shop in manotick.

I will never go to auto import again, and i will tell everyone to stay far away.

I brought my x5 for an alignment and they attempted to align it even with 2 lower control arms that had an inch of play. There is no way that you should ever attempt an alignment if anything is that badly broken. They said oh we didnt know or something. Horrible service.

Surprising - never had any issues with the quality of their work.

Anyone can have a bad day ! However I remember that day and the customer paid for our alignment inspection ( not alignment ) The vehicle was not one of our regular clients and had just come from another shop that had told the client he needed an alignment. In my opinion the clients regular garage should have caught the issue before it had ever arrived at our shop. To perform an alignment you need to set everything up first ( installing each alignment head on each wheel etc...). This is what the client had paid for.
