Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello All,
Anyone have experience with an indy shop North of Boston? Autobahn in Peabody and KMC in Lawrence are two that are close to me. looking to do the IMS / RMS fix. Thanks
I use Autobahn in Peabody - I've had very good experience with them. I know another 968 owner that wasn't impressed with them. Never heard of KMC and they would be much closer to me than Rick @ autobahn.
On edit: OK I see KMC is a BMW shop recently added Porsche - I'd go with Rick for anything beyond an oil change.. until I learned more about KMC. The big three indies in Boston area are EPE (European Performance Engineering) in Natick, Randolph Racing in Randolph and Autobahn in Peabody.
No IMS/RMS issues, but was at Autobahn on Friday for an oil change and discussed it with him. They've done LN IMS replacements and I will likely have them do mine when I am ready to tackle. They also took a car from a local dealer that was an reported to be an IMS failure that they rebuilt/retrofit without having to replace the engine. We also talked about the 959 they worked on quite a few years back...you know, the one with NY plates
Thanks, 26K miles on it. The guy said he may not have to replace it, but will inspect it during IMS/RMS fix as you said. Seems like an honest guy......we'll see!
I would also check out these guys in Stow. I had them install a set of pss9 and align - very reasonable price plus they gave me a 944 as a loaner car!!!!

It's the pressure plate you need to worry about with a 996 not the clutch disc. If you're not tracking the car I woudl leave it alone unless there's visible wear which would be unusual....
