Shortly after I got my car, I took it to a local independent with a 'good reputation' and with plenty of Porsche experience. Other than an out of province inspection, I had them do an oil change and valve adjustment. This 'experienced' shop overfilled my oil by two and a half quarts. After I talked to the service manager about this and the noisy valves, he offered to do the next oil change free, clean my engine and replace my air filter. He also said they do the valves "loose" to avoid the possibility of burnt valves. Huh?

I don't use them any more. I think you need to look elsewhere for mechanical expertise.
