Montainman, for my two cents worth I would recommend you inform the independent mechanic of the situation and stress to him one thing ... regardless of whether he provides the information or not you will let the independent Porsche community know what he did, or failed to do, so that other members will know where to take, or not take, their business. As an independent community we - as consumers - rely on first hand experience of independent mechanics to determine where our business goes.
