My dealings with Jake Raby

I don't normally rant/rave about someone or a shop unless they really over achieve and that is the case with my dealings with Jake. In December of last year Jake and I did a handshake deal that I am not going to discuss in detail because that is not the point of this post. We agreed on some repairs and performance mods on a 2002 S. We literally shook hands and went from there. Communication was excellent Jake kept me in the loop the entire time the car was worked on. We ran into one or two surprise hiccups that were dealt with fairly and professionally. I told Jake the day I met him that he was a " nut " but I meant that as a compliment. To me he's a nut because of his passion, drive, knowledge about these cars and the results he gets. He eats, sleeps and drinks Porsche. I was very fortunate to have someone like this in my own backyard to work with. In regards to performance mods he did some headwork, everything else was good maintenance and replacing things like IMS. Stock pistons/cams/intake/exhaust on a 131,000 mile S yet she put down 229.05 hp at the wheels ! I am happy with the car and would recommend Jake's service to anyone that wants a real pro to work on their car. No I am not a paid spokesperson but it is rare these days to deal with a professional that isn't driven solely by making a buck. When I lived in Orlando I had the pleasure of having my Porsche's worked on by Zotz, another first class organization similar to Jake's. Well that's the end of my spiel hope I haven't taken up too much band width.
