I worked next door to them in Fairfax off of Pickett Rd in the mid 80's when that place was in full swing. I think Minh started about then or shortly after at the bottom as what I understand. At one time that shop had P-cars trucked to them for work from all over. Then greed and other business mistakes started a gradual downfall. One of which is when they started to tap into the 'ricer' crowd at a time when other P-car shops were up and coming.

THAT............ is in my opinion, a downward move from which there is no return. People, especially Porsche people want a higher level of service and quality, or more to the point - exclusivity. When your high-end personalized P-car shop's lot is now filled with Honda's and the like - it's like a fly in your gourmet chicken soup. They lost credibility and street cred with that ***** - and so the business.
