having been into porsches for a long time and seen Powertech's work over the years...I would NEVER go there...
I bring my car to Newton Motorsports, the service manager is nice and they don't kill me. When it is out of warranty I will likely use Haupt Strasse motors in Harriman NY (it is not too far from me or you really) He is a trained Porsche master tech, has a pst2 and is fair to deal with...you should call him, you would save a bunch from Powertech I suspect. (845)783-1425. (I had a bad experience with Powertech years ago...with my 914..and then again with my 77 911s..they swapped motors in my car...and then told me my motor was bad(it was fine and I had the serial number, when I got it back after they said it was bad...it was not the same motor.
That and they totally misrepresent cars they sell routinely...like the yellow 914 2.0 they just sold saying it was a low mile un molested car...never painted or modded..I saw that car run at lime rock..I knew the prior owner ...it had lots of work...including a new passenger quarter..but they said it was ALL original..yea to creative coach works spray booth....
