Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hoping someone wanting to maintain a 996 on a budget will want these. PM me if interested. https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...l#post11945601

Pardon the very late inquiry. Are these still available. I just took my 99 996 to Midas who determined that I need struts up front.

What's next? Earl Scheib for a paint job? I wouldn't let Midas touch my Porsche other than maybe check tire pressure

POST 4Original post

Oh boy Midas. Really?

POST 5Original post

Why not? There is no magic in replacing a 996 strut, or the rest of the suspension either. If you can't do it yourself, any shop can do this part easily.

POST 6Original post

"I'll paint any car for $99.95" ! Classic

POST 7Original post

Friend took his car to get painted by Earl Scheib back in the day. They didn't even bother masking his bumpers or grill/trim. All came out monotone. Paint only was glossy for the first couple weeks then faded into a matte finish eventually. I wonder why they went out of business?

POST 8Original post

Maaco painted my Datsun back in 87. They literally stuck a piece of chewed gum in a hole in the roof and sprayed it. Good times!

POST 9Original post

A LOT of the body shops are only doing insurance and collision work because they can't compete with these cheap guys. I wonder if the work has gotten better or no one cares.

POST 10Original post

I got a Maaco paint job on a Mazda GLC back in the day. It was actually a good paint job. Did some minor polishing and sealing after it hardened good and it looked good until the car was totaled many years later.
