By Porsche shop do you mean a dealer or an independent? When I bought my 996 last year there was some stuff to be done and I started by talking to a very well known independent in the New Orleans area. Super flakey about getting back to me and the quote was what I would expect from an actual dealer.

Went hunting around and found out there is a very highly regarded old timer a couple hours north of me. He did the work for a very reasonable price and has been a wealth of information since.

Depending on where you are at I would check what all the options are for an independent shop in your area. Don’t just go with the first place to give you a quote and definitely do some research online regarding the recommended work. There is another forum that has a lot more action regarding the 996 platform and a wealth of old threads.
