SF Bay Area 993 PPI?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good Porsche technician in the SF Bay Area capable of performing a PPI on a 993? I'm considering the purchase of a 993 that appears to be in good condition, but I obviously want an expert to evaluate the car before I move forward.

Thanks in advance.

Where in the SF Bay Area: Peninsula, North Bay, East Bay?

There are lots of good independents, but you want one with a PST2 and that has seen a fair share of 993's.

Don, sorry I should have been more specific. I'm in the South Bay.

Steve Weiner has recommended RMG in Sunnyvale.

RMG is Bob Grigsby, Dan and Dan... behind the Hiphugger off of ECR in Sunnyvale. They do outstanding work including PPI's. Don Wise is also a top flight guy further south. More north (if the car is more toward the city) I might use Rector Porsche and specifically request Peter Smith. He is on the PCA tech committee and is extremely informed and expert... and a hell of a racer too. Tony Heyer in Mt. View also likely does PPI work and he is also expert. There are lots of great choices, I'd stick with someone with close ties and a reputation in PCA, like those mentioned.
