Just trying to be fair here - there is plenty of scope overlap between Drivers Choice and Zotz. IMO Zotz is focused on the Porsche "track rat" sports cars, as is Drivers Choice. But Drivers Choice seems to have more focus on a broader range of Porsches.
I could be wrong but after just a few years here, that is my current thinking. I know what id do, but i recommend you check them both out and then make your own decision...

The guys at Driver's Choice are great, but due to the fact that they are out in Longwood and we are based in Lake Nona, it is just too far for us. We use German Excellence over on the east side of town. Don is a stand up guy!

Thank you PCA1983 and Kinnebrew. Driver's Choice was also far for me so I tried another shop. I won't bad mouth them in a public forum but they were a disaster. They told me what they "thought" the problem was but wanted to take it to Porsche for a "second opinion". OK. I kind of get that. Porsche has some very specific tools that only the dealership has (or so was the explanation). But it was a full week and I didn't even have an estimate for the repairs yet. So I took it back from them and made the drive to DC. The guy's there had me fixed up in a day. What a huge difference of waiting a week for an estimate vs being done and ready for pickup the next day. From now on, I'll just have to make the drive to DC for the best service.
No experience with Eric over at Zotz one way or the other. I follow him on Facebook. Seems like a solid, second option.

Agreed Biohazard. I've been using Driver's Choice and have been very happy with them. Nothing against Zoto. Haven't heard anything negative about them. Just tried DC first and have been happy with the service I've received there.
