This is probably the closest you might find to Pacifica. Talk to Jimmy here. He is the owner and has a sweet 550hp 993TT. He did a lot of work on my old 996TT when I had it.

It's a bit far from San Rafael too. I researched reliable Porsche shops, and Bauer's was recommended as one of the best in Northern California. Brian is very thorough with his inspection. He is aware of the RMS and IMS issues. And, he will inform you of even the slightest oil or coolant leaks. The PPI pricepoint is high, but worth the piece of mind. Good luck.
