Need a recommendation on a Porsche Performance Shop in Chicago
Make a long story short I took my 997 TT to a shop I've never used before and I'm not happy what so ever. So now I'm going to end up paying for the job to be done two times. The normal shop I deal with is not going to be back in the shop till may 19th, which isn't going to work for me. So I'm reaching out to see if any one can help me out.
Thanks

Yes. Call Al @ Chicago Performance and Tuning in Melrose Park. www.gocpt.com
Top notch shop and Al is an avid porsche enthusiast - he races/tracks them too. he has been taking care of my cars (previous Audi and now 997.2T) for a very long time. you name it, CPT can handle it.

That's who's out of town till the 19th Ha! Al's the best, he's done 99.9% of my work since my old 2007 S4 when that was new, this is the first time I went somewhere else and got my whole car messed up. I should have just waited, but I figured how hard to install springs and alignment could be..

Yep - he's too busy racing! =) no question, he is the best. i would wait until he gets back at CPT for whatever corrections you need fixed. it just aint worth it anywhere else.
i had a 2001 B5 Stage 3 S4. missed that beast as i had a lot of work done to it, but the 997.2T is a nice upgrade!

He just did the Revo +1 on my B8 S4 pretty fast for a 4 door sedan. The b5's were rockets back in the day, I remember I raced one in my e36 m3 and got toasted right in front of Oak Brook Mall

he'll give you an earful alright! tough predicament you are in. i can't say i have been anywhere else besides CPT to even give you a 2nd reco due to your time constraints. i can only assume AMS in west chicago would be that 2nd option, but i don't have any direct experience with them.
my B5 was a beast - miss it a lot to this day. al enjoyed giving me a hard time about how fast it was for getting groceries.

Ha! I can hear Al now...
I know Perfect Power up in buffalo grove is pretty good too. I'm sure he's busy too, the problem is there only a few good shops. A lot of hacks out there!
Should have kept the Audi as a DD, that's what I use mine for. I don't think I could drive my 997TT on a daily basis.

Could you PM me the name of the shop that did not meet your expectations?
Good luck!!

Well, I ended up taking my car to CPT because it didn't feel right after ( Rennology ) did it. Make a long story short, they didn't assemble the r/t front strut suspension correctly. The damaged the strut and broke the PSAM clip. Nothing like paying two times to get a job done and having to buy extra parts too. My advice stay clear from Rennology motorsports.
