Beat dealer service in SE Michigan?

I live near Toledo, but the dealership there has poor service, and I've also heard that they will be losing their Porsche franchise. The next closest are Howard Cooper/Ann Arbor or Suburban Auto/Farmington Hills. Any experience with them?

I'm leaning towards Farmington Hills, as I've heard the least negative comments about them. Thanks.
I would consider an independent also, but I'm hesitant while in the warranty period.
Thanks.

I've had very good service from Dave Denys at Farmington Hills, but they're strictly by the (Porsche) book there. Prices have been reasonable and warranty issues handled without hassle. I usually take my car to Rennstatt in Ann Arbor (I94 at US23) where the prices are more reasonable and the work is always great. I don't have any experience with Howard Cooper or the Birmingham dealer.

Their service improved significantly in the last 3 years, mainly because they replaced a big portion of the service people.

Will Dave Deny's do aftermarket installations? Nav systems? Blue Tooth? New bumpers?

Thanks! I live in Bloomfield hills and have always had great service from Fred Lavery. Fair, fast and smart. I've serviced 2 Porsches with them. They won't install after market items.

I haven't asked Dave because I think I know the answer. Tim at Rennstatt will install and do it right.

I haven't - but they advertise in the RSR Chapter PCA magazine (BahnStormer). I think you'll find people with more experience with all of the dealers and indys in the area by joining either SEM or RSR chapter and going to an event or two.
