Experience is both good and bad.

This is true, but as an owner I'm not going to pass up the shop that's done many more retrofits over the one that's done very few. The Porsche community, around these parts at least, is not a big one. These shops rely heavily on reputation for intergrity and competency to continue bringing in work. In the internet age, if you botch even one of these,
word spreads very quickly. And folks are especially sensitive on hearing negative feedback about a shop when it comes to this topic. If a shop has tackled many of these jobs for several years now without nary a complaint on any of the of the various Porsche forums then as an owner that goes in the plus column. To me that speaks well not of the just the one mechanic who may have done the job but of the shop as a whole.
