996 Turbo Shop In Atlanta

I was looking for a good person/shop in Atlanta for things like a clutch and brakes for my 996 Turbo. I would like to avoid getting abused by the local dealers and would appreciate any advise/experience anyone has with a good shop nearby.

Thanks,

If you're looking to get your clutch done, the Sachs/964RS light flywheel package Orton puts together is nice. Or if you don't like the chatter of a light flywheel, could always go dual-mass.

Just dropped the car at Orton. Great guys and there were some impressive projects back in the garage area. Thanks again for all of the feedback.

I did go with the Orton lightweight flywheel/spec 2 clutch setup. This is just in case I need to add some power adders later.

Good choice on the clutch pkg. I have it and it is really easy to drive.

Agree the set up is easy to drive. Enganges like stock, but the pedal it lighter.
