You may want to tell others where you're looking? Hehe

And just me personally, if I were doing it again, I wouldn't have changed the IMS. I did mine at 147k miles, 'cuz i was doing a clutch. But that bearing was perfect.... and proven.

Porsche mechanic in Charlotte NC area

As title says, I’m looking for a fair minded, Porsche mechanic to do some repairs that are not DIY.(clutch, water pump, I M S ceramic bearing install)
Any help from you guys appreciated. Thanks

And as I suggested in my comment below: you might want to tell people where you're looking.
For instance: which hemisphere do you live in? Then country? Etc. Etc. Help us help you.

And for whatever it's worth: those repairs ARE D.I.Y. for many of us here.

I am buying it out of state. So need a good independent mechanic shop in north Houston. Getting PPI done before purchase and leak down test. Will probably do some regular maintenance items myself but still want to get a relationship going with a shop.

Protech is good. I've used them on my 07 Carrera & 03 Boxster. Easy to get to if your coming from out of town as its right off I-85.
