Smile PPI in around West Bloomfield MI

Found a 964 that I'd like to get inspected. Car is located outside of Detroit. Any recommendations on shops to do this?

Cheers,
Adrian

Munks in Waterford is a well known shop. Also check out RUF Auto in Southfield. Both are supporters of our PCA region.

+1 RUF Auto in Southfield. David Laing, (the mechanic) will do you right. Find his number listed under Grand Sport.

I would not recommend Munk's... Too many bad experiences.

I like Jeff Jones at Automotive Techniques in Farmington Hills.

I've had excellent experiences at Gilson Motorsports in Troy and Rennstatt Racing in Ann Arbor.

Howard is a great guy. Pretty sure you can go into the shop and poke around the car right alongside him, so you can get a rather customized inspection if you wish.

Rennstatt was Tim Pott's shop before he merged into ArborMotion, he may still use that name within ArborMotion

Yes to Ruf/GrandSport/David Lang.

Having owned VWs for 15 years, I'd rather eat a dogsh it sandwich than go to Munks.

++1 on Howard Gilson. He has a great shop, dedicated only to Porsches, and will take the time with you that you need/want.

+++1 for Howard. Friend of mine has his car in there now and he is sooo picky. Very fair on price and is very thorough.
