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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a low mileage 2002 996. Having read some of the information about the IMS issues with these cars I am thinking about having it replaced. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the DC area that has experience with this issue? Thanks so much...

POST 2Original post

There is a great independent that is relatively close to you (RPM Racing in Lorton): Home Really wonderful folks! I even have them buy and mount my tires for my Cayenne. They get them cheaper than I can...and you don't have to worry about some clown messing up your wheels or undercarriage.

POST 3Original post

Sloan at SSI Auto up near Baltimore is very experienced with the 986/996 cars and their particular needs.

POST 4Original post

I've always found this site here as helpful when looking for some shops. Repair Shops Specializing in Porsche | PCarShops.com and then you can Google search reviews or post them here for people to let you know their thoughts. Also, can read up on more info about the IMS here: Porsche 911 Carrera IMS Bearing Replacement - Pelican Parts Technical Article . Gives you an idea of some good products to use as a replacement as well. Good luck!
