Reputable Porsche Service in NYC?

Just brought my 996 C4S into Manhattan Motorcars for a tune-up with a brake bleed. Charged me $1100. Does anyone have any recommendations for reputable service in the New York City vicinity? Thanks in advance for your time.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate your time. Did Taso leave from RPMRacing? I'll definitely give a call to TKX.
Saw that you were looking into buying a 997 Turbo. How's the hunt going?

I believe that RPM became TKX.

RPM is still RPM. They didn't change their name.

When did Taso leave? He's worked on my car before. Cool guy.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and input. I will definitely bring my car to Taso for any future service. Let me know if you guys in the area would like to put together a little run for the spring. All the best and safe driving.

Tkx

Taso opened up TKX when RPM split and left to a new location. TKX is located at the very same old RPM location in Huntington, NY. I am pretty **** about who works on my car, let alone I had to leave it there for a few days on numerous occasions. Taso is a stand up guy and you will get what you pay for fellas! Good luck! Play on players!

TKX and RPM split bc of 'creative differences', Russ at RPM was more into the bling factor, Taso performance. Both great guys, but Taso is the only one I trust working on my car.

manhattan motorcars is a rip-off... I haven't found any good shops in Manhattan, that's why I would head out to CT or long island to do some decent work.

Ditto that. ALways feel like poking my eyes out after dealing with MMC. It's why I motor up to White Plains for service.
