Need PPI in Dallas, TX.

Can any Dallas guys recommend a good shop for a 996 GT3 in Dallas? The car is in Wylie, (NE of Dallas), so the closer the better to there but please let loose with any opinions on shops.

TIA.

Can't help you, but I lived in Wylie when it had a population of 2500. It's 44,000 now. Never saw a Porsche there back in the day, but I had the posters.

Thanks, yeah, I'm asking over on RL as well and RAC is the only thing coming up. I guess that's the place.

RAC, forgot about those guys.

It's not an unreasonable distance from Wyle.

Craig T bought that 997 TT from RAC and seemed very happy with them.

I bought my Turbo in Dallas sight-unseen and had RAC do the PPI. They sent the over-rev counts, and even sent me pictures of a paint thickness meter on the panels. Found all kinds of stuff. e.g. pinhole leak in the radiator, spoiler hydraulic failure, clutch slave cylinder. I was happy with them. Of course they got to fix everything that was wrong, so they had incentive to dig deep.
