I know Chris's German can do the cam tensioners/pads with the motor in the car, which saves $$ on labor.

I had them do the IMS/RMS/clutch/flywheel/AOS/GBOX 2nd gear popout kit/water pump/thermostat/serp belt/WTFBBQ on my '02 986S last summer. All of that work wasn't $7000.
No it's not Chris's. I'm in Portland. And I was probably guessing a little high in my estimates.

A good Porsche shop in Portland isn't cheap but there are a few good ones. I use Marque Motors on Macadam for this type of thing. They are an L&N certified installer.They did my IMS bearing last year and I am happy with the work. Probably could have gotten it done cheaper but you get what you pay for. A couple other shops I've heard good things about (but haven't used myself) are Matrix Integrated and Stuttgart Autotech. Are any of these shops the one you used?

Yeah it was Marque Motors. Definitely a higher level of service there than my old shop.
