DFW has a large number of independent Porsche shops; I typically use RUF in Addison. Download the latest Slipstream publication from PCA Maverick Region to see ads for many of the popular repair and parts places. http://mav.pca.org/Newsletter/Newsletter.asp
^^^ I agree and I also take my car to RUF for all of my maintenance work, as a matter of fact they just installed a new replacement engine for me. Hopefully you will not need to visit them for the same reason.

Welcome to Dallas

+1 for RUF

These guys are really knowledgeable, fair pricing (for cars like ours), and the experience of going over there is really fantastic! Welcome to Dallas!

Now with links!

Looks like your questions have been answered. And the answers here are the best in Dallas in my experience as well.

Being a web guy, let me throw some links in the mix:

Repair
1) RUF (Addison) www.racperformance.com
2) Zims (Bedford) www.********************************************

Body Shop
1) GTI (Euless) www.germantechnologyinc.com
2) Stuart's (Dallas) www.stuartspnb.com

I live a block over from you in Uptown. I see the most expensive cars near Primo's on McKinney. Exotics in Uptown remind me of animals in captivity...

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

Welcome to Dallas! Congrats on the cool jobs!
+1 on the shops mentioned. Just make sure to mention your PCA membership if you go to Park place or Boardwalk, for an additional 10% discount.
I would recommend joining the Maverick region of PCA and come out and play!

Mike
