PPI needed in Calgary, Alberta Canada

I'm interested in getting a pre purchase inspection on a 1976 930. Anyone know of a good mechanic in the Calgary, Alberta Canada area.

Try Riegel Tuning
Riegel Tuning | European Auto Care

I bought an '82 930 (Cdn Car) from a Calgary owner, and Riegel's had serviced the car on and off since it was new. Part of the service history was missing, I phoned them, and received the updated service records they had on file via fax. Judging from the amount of work done to my car, and the condition, they appear to know 911's. They are not cheap, but neither is an improperly executed PPI. Good luck!

I had the PPI on my car done 8 years ago with Alpine Autowerks:

4509 1 ST SE
Calgary, Alberta
Canada
Telephone: (403)-287-9114
marc@alpineautowerks.com

Not only did Marc do an excellent PPI, he brokered my purchase as I was out-of-town.

Reasonable price, great communication, right on the money with the PPI. Highly recommended from my anecodotal experience.

Riegel Tuning had done the service on my car for the previous owner-- that was the reason I went with Alpine.

Thanks for the informations guys I appreciate it! I think the guy uses Riegel Tuning so I'll go with alpine. Just to make sure I get an unbiased opinion.

+1 for Riegel. Did a PPI for me on one of their customers 993 Turbo. Decided not to buy it as the PPI came out not to well.

They where not afraid to give a honest opinion on one of their customer cars. Even told me not to do a compression/leakdown as it was not worth it, This instead of getting the job and me loosing some $$ for nothing. Really appreciated that.
