I've been unable to find a reliable Porsche mechanic and I've had the car for 18 plus years. Is there a registry or some established list of shops and/or mechanics?
READ ANSWERI have a 2000 996 911 cab My fob starts to blink rapidly when I try to set the alarm. Other than that it works fine. My Porsche dealer told me they could not reprogram the key without the unique code that is for the vehicle. Where or how can I get the code without having to get completely new keys. Thanks

READ ANSWERGood evening PCA family. My name is Gary and I have a 2000 986 boxster with the 2.7 tiptronic transmission. A while back when I was driving the car the transmission started to leak causing steam and jerking. The fluid was burned in the process and I think the transmission is toast. Does anyone knows of a person that has a good transmission for sale in South Carolina close to Rock Hill. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Thanks for your time.
