				Looking for a 911 SC PPI near Raleigh
			 
			
			I'm getting ready to take the plunge on buying a 911 SC, and am looking for a good Porsche shop to do a PPI.  The seller is about 15 miles west of Raleigh.  Does anyone have a favored mechanic in the area who does Pre-Purchase Inspections? 
		
	
		
	
			
				A few shops I've found via google maps: Import Motor Werks - 91 postive reviews, but they don't list Porsche no their specialties, just BMW, VW, Audi, and some others. Performance Porsche - Obviously Porsche-specific. I see 3 reviews. Absolute Automotive - They include Porsche among other German cars. 9 reviews. Leith Porsche - They appear to be mostly just a dealer, but they do have a Service department. Washburn Motorsports - They focus on German cars, and specifically advertise PPIs on their main page. 45 reviews. Weaver Motorsports - They also advertise PPIs. 12 reviews.

			I've found some more shops from a owner recommendation site: 
		
	
		
	
			
			
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Import Performance European Performance Pinnacle Automotive Service Carmine's Import Service Some of these specifically advertise PPIs. I'm considering emailing out some info requests on if the more promising shops have experience with SC's... Perhaps I should ask what years they have experience with, in order to avoid them playing to my question. Has anyone had experience with any of these?  |

			I would recommend European Performance based on the PPI they did for me.  Their PPI covers the bases less a compression or leakdown unless they have a reason to suspect something is wrong or they're directed to perform one.  Schedule with Tolga; he has a tech with experience on older Porsches.

			I've got a list of the Tech Inspectors for PCA events if you'd like.  Its a one page .pdf file.  No idea how to send other than via e-mail.  It covers NC/SC primarily.   I keep a copy in the car in case I need help when on the road.

			Thanks for the posts and PMs from everyone.  It sounds like European Performance may be the pick, its even on Jesse's PCA Tech list.

			Either Miller or European would be my recommedation.  From 15 miles west of Raleigh they might be close to equal distance.  Good luck.

			European and Millersport are both class acts.
