ims,rms, clutch: oakland bay area suggestions

I am potentially buying a boxster s tomorrow with 112k miles. Can anyone suggest an affordable but good place to replace the clutch, RMS, and ims?

I'm in the oakland, Dublin, Fremont area in California.

Thanks in advance!

Flintworks in Campbell have done two of my family members cars. IMS was 1k but it was a couple years ago.

I ended up going to Bauer's Porsche in Oakland. He had the knowledge of what to do with the IMS and suggested the IMS Solution, rms, clutch, and flywheel. Price was fair to other places I called. They were also closer to me than Flintworks.

If u go that route, u might want them to check the water pump too. Ive heard of several water pump vane wear-out failures that totaled the engines, and those BS were not worth fixing as it cost more than the market value of the car to rebuild the engine. So be careful of impending water pump failure.

Luckily the previous owner swapped that out a couple years ago.. Think this was the 2nd water pump, the first was at a rebuild @89k miles. I need to change all of my old hoses. Driving 2.5 hrs to thunderhill, one of my hoses cracked. Coolant everywhere.. Missed day one of track. Luckily I had it fixed in time for day two.
