Help needed! recommend service provider for PDK service in Washington DC area

have a 2009 Porsche 997.2 base with PDK. The car has 38k miles. It is recommended that the PDK clutch oil be changed at 6yr or 60k miles and the transmission oil and filter at 12yr or 120k miles. Although I do not have the mileage, I have the age. I am a little nervous. I have an appointment with an indy to do the work but after reading the forums, some would not trust an indy for this service. I called three Porsche dealers in my area and two didn't know about the 6yr clutch oil change and said to do both (the 6yr and 12yr service) the other hadn't gotten back to me as they were not familiar with the 6yr service. I don't understand because the 6yr service is in the Porsche maintenance interval guide. When I called the indy, they got back to me right away and knew about the 6yr and 12yr service intervals. Has anyone in the DC area had PDK service done and is comfortable with the service provider. Thanks

Do not let an indie do this. Use P-car of Arlington- expensive but well worth it, as this is a complex job.

For those wondering the same, I went with ASG in Fairfax, VA, they were very knowledgeable

All the Porsche dealers in the area are weak. Tysons being the worst... Arlington and Silver Spring are ok.

I've only had manual 911s but I stick to Ivan at IMA and Dave Bergman at Bergman Autowerks. Actually dropping my car off today for a full service with Dave.
