Kim Henson, owner of German Imports, does great work on Porsches, even owns a Boxster himself. Good guy, prices far below the dealerships, and doesn't charge you for what you don't need.

In the San Jose area.
RennShop. 1423 Laurelwood Road. Santa Clara. 408-727-0911.

This is owned by Marvin Weitz and opened in October. Marvin work at the Stevens Creek and Claridges dealership before opening his own shop. Since I know some of the dealership mechanics I checked out Marvin and he checked out. Marvin knows the Porsche people I know.
He had a special for a clutch replacement for $800 for my 1997. Dealer wanted $1,800 and an independent shop $1,400. While the transmission was out for the clutch replacement I also paid extra for the latest engine reseal, oil separator replacement, and fuel filter replacement. My clutch feels like it did 9 years ago when I bought the car.
I have been by his shop a few times to say hi, and Marivn was at the Parts Heaven Swap meet. Tell him Jeff Lopez sent you.

Porsche specialist in Campbell, CA
I just wanted to introduce myself and get on this great list being put together. My name is Alden Flint and I'm fresh out of a local dealership. I just opened my own shop in August and I'm trying to bring in more Porsche customers. I've been pretty active on the babblers forum so some of you may have seen me on there. Anyway I'm here to help with any technical issues and of course to provide any work needed. My prices are usually about half of what the dealership charges.

Excellent service and one of the growing list of shops that have taken apart and rebuilt the M96. Not cheap though.

Need an alignment in the Seattle area
Or who knows which post # has the list of recommended shops, state by state. I've been through every post once already and know there are two listed in my area, but I guess I'm just too lazy to read through all the posts again.
Oh, and could there be another reason besides alignment that would cause my car to pull to the right? Pressure is okay, maybe suspension issues? Car is an '03 with 81k miles.
Thanks
