Ozvino Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Nice looking car, great colour - pay very close attention to the roof mechanism condition and operation - assume you have googled thatAutoArt in Preston are a good choice for a Melbourne PPI and he would know Lorbek; Michael (AutoArt owner) is very particular. I would suggest you will get more from him than you would by going to Porsche for an older car. I would recommend AutoArt for cars 10 + years and older Note - I sent an interstate friend to Michael for a PPI and the car failed (not related to Lorbek in anyway, this was some years ago), he was saved significant $$$ by having the PPI done, just goes to show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike737 Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Lorbek usually refers their clients to Autoart, so take that into account during your selection process. Not saying good or bad just that YMMV.Check out Cascone in Moorabbin. Nick looks after a number of cars from PFA and deals with 996's almost in his sleep.

911 Snake Posted 10January, 2017 Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 + 1 for AutoArt in Preston. Micheal was really helpful and in-depth when I had my PPI done. He spent a good 30 mins taking me through every inch of the car and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty188 Posted 11January, 2017 Report Share Posted 11January, 2017 +1 Autoart - very helpful with my PPI for my air cooled . I have also used Jocarro for my water cooled they took a lot of time to go through everything and in what order items should be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted 12January, 2017 Report Share Posted 12January, 2017 I definitely would NOT recommend Autoart had a very bad experience there. Michael was terrible to deal with. PM me I can discuss the details privately. I would recommend Porsche centre Melbourne Also the 996 is classed as a "classic" so you get a discount on the labour pricing.
