Default Porsche mechanic in Albany NY area for a PPI

Hello all. I am considering a purchase of a 99 911 in the Albany NY area. I would like to have a PPI done. The vehicle has 45k miles and appears to be in very good condition.

Can anyone recommend a mechanic to me?

Thanks in advance.

Dan

Stay away from them to do the PPI or them as the vehicle seller? I was not planning on using them to do the PPI but if you are advising to stay away from them as the seller, I appreciate the input.

Default avoid like the plauge

they mean well but to their advantage.. i found all the parts on line.. and any ansi cert mechanic is authorized by my warrenty.. oh speaking of.. a bumper to bumper is not as it sounds.. clutch not covered.. catayltic not covered.. ****ing weasels... read it first .. then read it again.. then argue each point.. i paid 5k outright for it and it really doesnt cover anything that breaks.. the cats are part of the engine it wont run without them the clutch is drivetrain again it wont run.. but they reclass everything so they pay out little..and tow mine covers up 100.0 **** it cost 200 to get it 30 miles for me cant use a tow ..flatbed only.. just try your best..
