Dave,

Havent had any experience with any of the above-mentioned shops. However, I know that a 6 speed member JCRAMAIR does all his work at Autobahn Performance.

Sorry Dave, I have no experience with any of those aforementioned shops. As AeroTT mentioned, JCRAMAIR has had nothing but rave reviews about Autobahn Performance. I also know that Bob Fotzgerald is good. Not sure where or how much he chrages though. What are you looking to have done?

I had a 964RS-A serviced at EPE in Natick for several years (i now live in the Berkshires so I do everything myself.) If I lived within 100 miles of them the situation would be different. I can't think of anyone in New England that has more experience (racing/servicing/etc.) with a 996/CUP/RS/RSR than Jerry Pelegrino at EPE. They are the only local shop that continuously runs the Daytona 24Hrs (I think their highest finish was 3rd?) If you search HERE you'll get some more ideas. I know Kevin at Randolph Racing is really good with older cars but I have no direct experience with him servicing newer cars.

Thanks guys. I was looking for somebody to put Pss9's in, as I don't see that I'll have much free time in the next few weeks. But they all want 8-10 hrs to do it and want the car for 2 days. So since I own my own scales and alignment equipment I guess I'll be doing it myself afterall... I'll be embarrased it if even takes me 1/2 that amount of time though. Not that their estimates were unfair or unreasonable as they need to pad for the unexpected, I just don't want to tie the car up that long a pay over a grand for just a suspension install....

I just don't have much experience with 996 setup. but there is only one way to change that....guess I'll start a new thread on specs.


thanks.

Ask MSindi about his technician, Bob Fitzgerald. He has his own shop in Sharon, MA I believe. That is where MSindoi got his PSS9 suspension as well as his Fabspeed exhaust installed.

I have had work done by Jerry at EPE (Natick) and Bill at Eurotech (Framingham). Both perform outstanding work, and their respective businesses cater soley to Porsches so you're assured that you're car will be pampered.

As mentioned earlier I have had all of my work performed at Autobahn in Peabody. Both Rick and Mike are excellent guy's to work with and I would recommend them to anyone.
