Prototech used to be a Protomotive distributor and now does their own conversions. They are definatelty not Protomotive but they do exist.

I'd be interested to hear too, as I've been there several times.

well where do I start?
The A/C was inoperable when I got there(95 degree weather)(traveled 24 hours with a truck and trailer)they told me beforehand the car was PERFECT
They severly overcharged the system and blew the compressor
scratched the car in 2 places while I was there waiting 2 days for the bogus repair
They claimed the exhaust was an Al Burtoni but when I arrived home to inspect it turned out to be a TUBI
price changing throughout the transaction
Owner Scott was very rude to my wife and jacked the price up 10K and told her the salesman had no right selling the car to us as it was his personal ride and was not officially for sale even though car was on ebay and on their website for sale
whole staff except for the salesman himself were very rude and acted like they were doing me a favor
I could go on and on but those are the main things...
I wanted the G so bad I bought it anyway, threw it in my trailer and drove home to repair it myself...many hours and tons of cash later it was then PERFECT
I am usually the last one to lash out about anyone on the open forum but these guys are just the bottom of the barrel

How is Protosport as a Protomotive distributor? They are located close to me (NJ) rather than Protomotive in AR.

The Best!! Paul and John run a top notch shop. They do all my work including a Motronic conversion on my 965.

We should always report any bad experiences that we have. Put those bums out of business. We can wield some power on these forums if we keep each other informed. So far my experience with Excell Auto has been good. If Champion Porsche gives them a seal of approval, then I feel a little more comfortable. The car was in perfect condition when I got there, but I think the car carriers scratched it (slightly) when they transported it to Champion. Other than that, they have been very professional. Has anyone had any experiences with PES tuning in Pa? Either PES or TPC racing in Jessup, MD will do my mods when I'm ready.
