north carolina repair shops

Does anyone have a personal recommendation for the best Porsche (specifically my 968) repair shop in mid-North Carolina? How about Chuck Miller at Millersports in Hillsborough? How about CC Eurosprorts in Greensboro?

I've used Millersport quite a lot over the years. Chuck is a good Porsche mechanic and works relatively quickly. His hourly rate is quite reasonable for a Porsche mechanic, but occasionally I've noticed a little "mysteriousness" in his final bills - generally nothing too upsetting, but something to be aware of.

He also has an inexplicable blind-spot when it comes to the DME module. I got hit with an unpleasant bill from him to fix a problem when he should have started with the DME (I didn't know what the problem was at first either, but a quick Internet search turned up the likely solution). When the same problem cropped up on my other car I insisted he start with replacing the DME and then if that didn't work, we could work through the punch list. In that instance, I drove away 5 minutes later, problem solved.

Bottom line with Millersport - be clear with him about the problem and the likely fix and get an estimate before he starts the job. With that in mind, it's a good shop.

I don't have any experience with CC Eurosports.

I live in Winston-Salem and have used the Porsche Dealer in Greensboro (Foriegn Cars International) and Sneed's Speed Shop. I have been pleased with the service at both. I used the dealer to sort out some AC issues and they got it right the first time. I could spend hours in their showroom looking at all the cars. I use Sneed's for basic maintenance and HPDE inspection and preparation. Chris and Kenneth Sneed and everyone at the shop are great to talk to and work with.
