IMS Retrofit - in Bay Area, CA

[Wangta]

Stumbled on this thread as I’m looking to get my parents Boxster IMS services sotjt be IMs solution. Are flintworks and Heyer Performance still the go to shops for this in the Bay Area? Also - given how many Heyer has installed - I was kinda surprised to not see them on the recommended list by LN?

In addition to Flintworks and Heyer, I am considering:

Modderman (Mountain View)
European Performance (Novato)
Pacific Motorsports (Walnut Creek)

I had mine done at European Auto Tech in San Ramon and I highly recommend the shop.

Alden sold Flintworks last year.

Tony from San Carlos German Motor Works has taken classes from Jake Raby and seems on top of things.

Whoever does the job, ask them for what diagnostics they carry out beforehand to see if the car - really the engine - is worth investing that kind of money in

Not sure if Jake posts his pre-qualification procedures online, but it worth checking into it

Thanks Thom - yeah good point. I’m a little frustrated that no shop in the bay is approved to do the IMS solution. I’m sure many shops can do it - however on calling a bunch, they didn’t seem too fond of the Solution due to the drilling of the engine and transmission casings.
