Might want to be more specific on what service. If it's a tune up, almost any shop could do that. If it's touching Porsche parts then you need more of a specialized shop.

Needs a tune up & oil change. Also is difficult shifting low gears. Clutch / linkage probably needs some adjustments.

Oil change, plugs, Cap & Rotor could be done by any shop (And probably yourself).

Is it hard to get into first gear at a stop?

Is it hard to get into gear also moving?

Probably needs:
-Clutch cable adjustment
-New shifter bushings
-Shift lever adjustment
- (Worst case) syncros are shot and will need rebuild

Yes hard to get into 1st gear at stops as well as moving slowly.
Previous owner had Renegade Hybrids rebuild the transaxle (now a 4 speed with taller gears) and billet intermediate plate, 9" clutch plate, new clutch pedals, & new clutch cable with Bowden repair in 2011. Probably has less then 3000 miles since.

Than most likely clutch adjustment or bushings.

Get under the car and tighten up the clutch cable so that it releases sooner upon the clutch pedal being pressed. Quite simple.
