Portland/Beaverton Oregon Indie.

Can anyone in the area give a strong recommendation for an Indie in the general area?

Back when I lived in Vancouver (up to mid 2021) I took my VW to Mike at Unlimited VW.

They're not just a VW shop, back when I went there I saw a 996 and multiple air-cooled 911's. Mike definitely knows Porsches.

Google Maps says they're closed permanently, but I'm pretty sure its a mistake because they moved locations in 2020 and I think it's a carry over from the old location. There are reviews from 1 month ago.

I would call ahead of time to confirm, and if they are still open they'll probably want to know Google Maps has them listed as closed.

I had Mike and his team swap my water pump, exhaust manifold gaskets, and do some basic diagnostics. Always had an excellent experience from price to service.

It's a family owned business (Mike and his wife, can't remember her name) and I highly recommend them.

I've taken my '99 Boxster to Heckman Theiman on the Eastside in Portland. The are excellent, though not inexpensive.
