We are lucky here in Dallas to have a LOT of independent Porsche focused shops with great reputations that have been around a long time. In addition there are a lot of newer independent shops who do great work BUT they focus on "newer" cars. My wife and I both drive Mercedes models and one is past factory warranty and we stopped using the Mercedes shop for any service. They were insanely expensive and constantly tried to upsell us. We have found a great indy shop here and they also work on Porsches BUT NOT air cooled models. I think the focus in on replacing parts versus FIXING things. Perfect example is the PDK transmissions that Porsche won't repair, they just sell you a new one for $25k. Fortunately there are smart people out there who now repair PDKs. Similar with LN/Jake Raby/Slakker Motors filling in the gaps where the factory dropped the ball. Hopefully the old guard can help bring in younger people who want to pick up from where they are now.
