Never heard of them but I'm about 60 miles south of Seattle and do most of my own work.

I also live in the area but haven't heard of them. I could ask around if you would like. From what I have heard at work there are a lot of good Porsche shops in the area.

would u mind? I am looking at several 996's TT....they have a nice one, and since I would be buying over phone, I tend to try and find out alot about it.

If anything comes up in Phoenix. LMK
I can give a good PPI. You would just need to have it scanned for over rev counts.

Detroit Autoworks has an "F" rating from the BBB, but that doesn't necessarily mean much for a small dealership -- all it takes is a couple of complaints to send the rating downhill. Still, it is cause for caution.
I sent a query out to a couple of my local Seattle motorhead friends -- will let you know if I hear anything.

Ty vitalian....honestly buying a car over the Internet is daunting enough, and even if it's a small shop, F rating puts me off. I found another version in Fl.

Glad to help. Also glad you found another car. I'll still let you know if I hear anything back from my buddies. Good luck with the shopping!

Stephen - there should be several near me on the market ( I think they give them out with the mega-mansions when the folks move down from the cold), let me know if you either want me to put a call in to a few folks ( buyers and dealers) or check any out out.... I've got a great guy for a PPI.
I looked at a few briefly but decided in my situation it was just too Cliche
Cheers

Appreciate that Erich, and I may take u up on that. I have 2 tire kickers on the S8 now, and ideally will pull trigger when S8 sells.
