I'd suggest Rylands (Ryland Mills) in Marietta; he did an excellent job for me on a PPI for my first 911 purchase 2 years ago. He came highly recommended by my local mechanic and by other Porsche owners I consulted in the Atlanta area.
Good luck on your purchase. Regards, David

Thanks everyone. I think I'll try Rylands, since I live in Marietta, and they were recommended to me over on Rennlist as well. If I ever need an engine rebuild, it's good to know there is someone that can do a good job in Atlanta, though. Thanks for the information.

Rylands as well as others mentioned have been around for awhile, but make SURE Ryland does the PPI!! Their are many great shops in the Atlanta area, but for my money Ryland would be my first choice. My reasoning? I have owned 4 Porsches over 30+ years and have tried them all. I trust Ryland the most.
