PPI recommendation in Knoxville?

My son is looking at a Cayman and needs to have a PPI in the Knoxville area. I've found European Auto Repair on the web but wanted to know if there are any other to consider.

I've had them work on my car. Very honorable.

DO NOT USE
Air Cooled Classics (or whoever Don Ramsey works for)

Air Cooled Classics has been out of business for years. Another option is European Auto Garage: European Auto Garage

Last I heard, Don Ramsey was still operating in Knoxville. If not as ACC then by another name.

Last time I talked to him, he was selling used parts out of his old ACC buildings, but ACC was closed. That was years ago (I just checked - 2010). I drive by there on occasion and there's nothing...

I stopped by in May and spoke with him for over an hour.

Good guy in my opinion.

Well, how about that. I drive by there once a month or so and it looks like a ghost town. Don's a good guy, though.

Nice guy but did very poor work. Charged way more than estimated, took way longer than promised and worst of all, sent my car out with major errors that a rookie should have seen.

I greatly appreciate everyone's suggestions. Even thought the car I found was better than most I've seen in the market, my son decided to pass on it.
