Always sad to see a member of the classing Porsche support chain close. I don’t personally know this shop, but can imagine if I had a project there how much this would suck. Hopefully, us vendors and shops can help out with the newly derelict projects.

There always seems to be a reluctance to call out bad actors but the fact is there are many. Partly because as stated, it’s not easy. So many guys get caught up in racing or the sport and lose focus, or are just poor business men. When employment or other taxes don’t get paid it’s a downhill spiral. There is a well known shop in No Carolina….great history, great experience BUT too many stories……..and y’all know the rest of that story.We all want to give people benefit of the doubt but you are letting bad actors escape punishment….The biggest obstacle for any shop is everyone wants to talk to the “boss” and he can’t earn money on the phone, but that’s where it starts so customers get indulged to existing work that doesnt get done. Sadly young people are trained in high tech new cars where the $$ is.
Probably a jillion variations of this tale but getting shafted sucks and it is all too common.
I have always said if you hear negative undercurrent but the same guy seems nice to you…..your time just hasn’t come yet…..it will.
