Looking for PPI shop around Norfolk VA (not Abacus)
 
I'm looking for a shop to perform a PPI on a car that has been worked on extensively with receipts by Abacus Racing in VA Beach. The owner will have the car at Abacus this week for some work. I realize it is unconventional but should I consider asking them to perform the PPI? I would hope that a professional shop would be able to be unbiased - is this a bad idea?

Give Checker Flag in VB a call. They should be able to help you out.

Thanks.
Out of curiosity what are you guys used to paying per hour for a Porsche mech? Up here in CT the well known shops get about $120 per.

Rob @ Abacus Racing did a PPI on my GT3 RS which was a local Va. Beach car; it was the most thorough and accurate PPI report that i've ever seen, nothing was missed or omitted!!

You think there's a conflict of interest since the owner has ~$15k in receipts from Abacus or can they be objective?

Lutzo at LMN Motorsports in Virginia Beach. Honest and excellent.

I have a small independent shop, but I agree with DaveA. Lutzo is and would be my choice.
I don't have any issues with Abacus other than their best Porsche mechanic moved to Key West. Give LMN a shout 757 270-8615
Good luck,
