This is an interesting thread. As one who does all (well most) of his work on his two 911s, I find visiting the local shops in the Denver area a mixed bag. Several good Porsche shops take great delight in tormenting/teasing me about my screwups and current misadventures upon my visits. It is all part of game that I like. Being the former chief tech inspector for the local PCA region, we have our DE pre-techs hosted by shops, including the local dealer.
I do know that shops hate the racers generally because of the time crunches involved and the often severity of their breakdowns

Grady didn't you have a shop once in the Denver area as well?
What was it like for you as a shop owner?

Several of our local Porsche wrenches apparently used to work for you too I was told recently?
