Shop in Houston?

Hey guys,

I am looking at purchasing a 996 Turbo from Houston and wanted to see if there are any shops close to Houston (The Woodlands)

Thanks for your time!

There are tons of shops in Houston, sadly PPI's are a waste of their time. I do not know of any that currently do a PPI. Maybe someone can chime in and offer help.

It would be great if anyone can help.
I am looking to call Porsche of N. Houston and wonder if they will do one.

Was hoping to close the deal this week.

qfix is infamous around these parts
Motorwerks performed a PPI for me this past summer and they were extremely thorough. They found a number of issues, and I decided it to pass on the car. If it makes it through a Motorwerks PPI, it's clean.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

The seller lives in the North parts and I did not want him to have to drive
40mn to have the PPI done.

Would you recommend Porsche of N. Houston?

Thoughts?

you best bet in The Wodlands is no doubt Autodynamica, they actually do PPI's and know these cars up and down so there should be absolutely no problem.

autodyamica dot com

call Luis and tell him Frissen sent you, see what can be done

Crap, that would of been great.

I ended up at a place called DRC import Auto repair.

Car is in there for a PPI now.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, let's see what Daniel (the shop owner) comes
up with.

Hey guys,

DRC Import Repair is a gem of a shop it seems.
Daniel is the owner.
The car has 30k miles and needs a clutch and he did not like the paint job that was done,
nor the car pulling to the right.

Seems like this car has more stories to tell
On to the next one I guess.
