Wow, I just looked up that bearing. I wish I would have known I could have purchased one from amazon for $5.91. The $5.99 shipping charge is a little steep though.

I had to decline the auto correct 3 times to spell it that way. It was a joke.

Wait a second here, did Jake Raby just call people who don't use his service "bottom feeders"? Sorry there Obama, not all of us drink your Kool-aid. But thank you for making my decision so much easier.

No, other shops. If you were self-employed and competed against a similar company, you would see the reference. I personally get tired of people calling who have run their systems into the ground only to find 4 stickers from previous 'bottom feeders' who just swapped the single component that failed without checking any other component or fixing the problem that lead the component to fail 4 previous times. Swap and run = bottom feeder.

As a self-employed person, I let accounts go before I get into this type of pissing match. I do defend my name and reputation, but I don't attack the other guy. I just point out flaws as I see them. I don't compete with a shop in a state here and there, I compete with dozens and dozens of HVACR companies in every city. Must be over a hundred times more competition.
To OP, isn't your screen name here still using the word Porsche? Seems last page you said they ordered you to stop using their name? Just curious.
To say 'bottom feeders' seems low, but to a company like me, I see them all the time and understand the comment. Some people just want to be back on the road tomorrow or get heat on and hope it stays on and not examine anything else. That's great, and there are many techs who will oblige them in both scenarios. Some want the best possible repair and want to check or improve what can be made better to have the whole package and pice of mind. I, like Mr. Raby, take pride in being the more thorough and 'package' choice. If you just want your igniter (or valve spring) swapped and not your combustion (or oil) checked, call someone else. There are many making a great living doing the bare minimum, and the public should weigh the two options and make an educated choice.

Good point, Timco. But sadly, that's how unethical people present themselves. They take/steal from others.

hold on dude, there are over 300 members just on this forum that have "Porsche" in their screen names and hundreds more on other forums. Are you saying they are all unethical?
Its a screen name, get over it!
Yes, Porsche is a protected trademark and cant be used for commercial purposes, but if you cant use the word for other reasons then I guess we all need to start referring to "the car that we can't mention"
We get it, you don't like the guy or company or what he is selling.
We all know what opinions are like .....

No dude, IMO, only Porsche-land, a.k.a. Forsche-land, a.k.a. Martin Biernacki is unethical. I like the other +299 forum members. Let's just let the Porsche AG attorneys handle this one like the did back in June. They move swiftly.

Do we have moderators here anymore, or is it just a free-for-all?

moderators on a public website are more trouble then they are worth. imho.
If you don't like someone's response ignore it. Now if you are a paying member of a website then some tailoring of published responses can certainly be in order.
Besides the N SA are getting a good laugh, or at least the ones who drive fine German cars.

^ dunno about your indy there Jacob but mine here... when he is not happy, people crawls under tiles to avoid the dude. That's one of the reason I go there... I get the feeling my car is in good hands and no one would dare to screw around his town.
I'd expect and hope for the same attitude from my performance engine builder lol

No, "he" is not.. That sentence proves your intent and further it proves that for some reason, you believe that you are winning.
I will stand behind every single thing that I have said, and given the opportunity I would say it eyeball to eyeball.
As for the "bottom feeder" comment, those people know who they are and my reference was not to any customer or group of people. A bottom feeder can exist anywhere, any time. I am who imam and I say exactly what I think. If someone can't handle forward, direct communication, they'd never appreciate my way of business anyway.
So be it.

I read this entire thread , nothing of value . The top dog and the under dog in a childly pissing match . these motors are absurdly overpriced your better off buying a new car with 996s at 20k all day long and boxsters at 10k by the thousands . you would have to be a fool to rebuild or even buy a junkyard motor at 10k , nuts .
