PPI in North Carolina?

I am looking at a shop possibly Eurowerks for a PPI in the Charlotte area. Any advice on them or other shops in the area??

I have been to their shop. They are pretty deep into older Porsches and are very knowledgeable.

There is a place that was north of Gastonia - near Hickory - I think. The name had "Black" in it. Someone will know. They moved east and I think a little south of Hickory. It may be pretty close to you now after their move. This place knows older 911's.

Edit - Thanks for the links 911Michael. Black Forest Racing is what I was trying to remember.

I would leave Black Forest, John Forbes out of the loop.

You guys were right. Jim was great. Very thorough and professional. The car has some issues some minor and some a little more serious. I have some thinking to do! I will post if I end up purchasing the car. Thanks for the tips
