    Lots of goodies from BBi/ IPD Intake plenum, Cobb Accessport, 997 Coils, Coolant Pipe Kit, RCI Injectors all going on my 996 Turbo
    Vince N.

    BBI has been known in the Porsche and tuning world for a long time and have been known as a premier tuner for water cooled Porsches. I was initially intimidated to call them in the first place for repairs on my Porsche 996. After all, I have the most hated of the 911 line and my budget was very low compared to some of the builds known to come out of the shop (they have 2 Carrera GT's for god sake!). After talking on the phone with Charles Kahle, all that fear went out the window. I first called about BBI's Clutch Slave Cylinder Conversion for the 996 Turbo. It is very common for these things to fail, and I needed some more knowledge on which route to go with. Charles walked through the differences between the factory, theirs and some other competitors. He was honest with the pro's and con's of each and convinced me to go with their product. Now, the rabbit hole. While I was there, I asked about a few questions on my car, since I knew there were going to be other areas down the road. I noticed a coolant leak on the car, before having to ask, Charles already knew about the weakness on the 996 Turbo cooling system and warned me about the problem. We then went on to talk about the direction of the car, how to bullet proof it in a way, and which direction to upgrade within my budget and means. They even told me ways of saving money, rather than spending it. Every single time I have stepped foot in the door, Charles has greeted me with great enthusiasm, and always grabs the specialist of each department to answer my questions if he is not able to answer it himself. I even met the owner, Betim Berisha, I have seen him on a lot of Youtube and other social media going over their impressive builds. Even though I was open about not having a large budget and keeping cost low, even Betim was more than willing to give his time. He even offered me a ridiculous deal on a set of BBS wheels and tires that were way below msrp. I feel that I saved a ton of money on the advice they gave me alone, and they were even kind enough to discount some parts and services for me to meet my budget. In the end, I recommend this shop. I feel like they gave me the same respect and service for my low end 996 as they did to an owner of a GT3 Touring, Carrera GT or even Mclaren 675LT, all of those cars by the way were their during one of my many visits. Service, Parts and Sales, 5 stars all day.

    Awesome place awesome guys. They know these Porsche like the back of their hand. Had a common issues where a coolant pipe pops out these guys make a billet piece that presses in and gets TIG welded in place a big time improvement over the factory setup. If you ask the factory should do it the same way.

    I highly recommend these guys! Great shop, clean, professional, and real friendly bunch of guys. I came to them with my brand new 992 GT3, literally straight off the truck to have them put in the BBi roll bar and a 6 point harness. Being it's a brand new car I had concerns about how clean the job would be. They did such a clean job that it looks like it's from the factory!!! I'll definitely be in touch for all my Porsche needs in the future.

They could patch a tire for about $20 cash, and the service was quick and convenient. At that time, I felt it was a great option. This time, however, my experience was different. I am not sure whether it is because prices have gone up, but the tire looked repairable to me. Still, they told me it could not be patched and that I needed to buy a used tire instead. Since I was already there and the work needed to be done, I ended up paying $60 for a used tire. What disappointed me most was that I originally thought I would be able to keep my old tire and take it home, because I believed I could patch it myself and keep it as a spare. In the end, that was not how it worked. Their used tire replacement process meant they kept my original tire and gave me another used tire in exchange. So it did not really feel like I was simply buying a used tire for $60. It felt more like I was trading in my old tire, which did not even have a hole that obvious to me, and still paying $60 on top of that. The service was done quickly, but the overall experience left me feeling less satisfied than before. Next time, I would definitely compare prices and ask more questions at a few other shops before making a decision.on the car

WARNING when you make a purchase the wheels or tires, they may get sold and become not avail before Americas Tires actually acquires them! Sales guy says "wheels are avail" but he doesn't actually secure them. He sends an email to my local store to order them. Until they actually acquire them from the manufacturer or a different Americas Tire location someone else could grab the last set. My Purchase was made on Saturday. The store did not take action in procuring the wheels until Wednesday late in day. So all day Mon, no action. All day Tuesday, nothing. Wednesday no action until so late in day they couldn't be shipped. Big question at this point why did it take 2.75 days to obtain my wheels? They could have been sold at any point to another customer and were the last set in stock. Thursday, woman on 800 line confirms Simi store has the wheels and will put them on the 4pm Fed Ex Truck. She tells me she will keep a close eye on things. They never got on the truck. They got on Fridays truck which means no wheels until after the weekend. I didn't get notified they were received at store until end of day Monday, so eight days later and two rescheduled install appointments. After a 2.5 hour wait at the store the guys did a great job installing my new wheels and tires. Keep in mind from the time I bought the wheels on Saturday until late on Wednesday someone else could have bought the wheels and I'd have been out of luck.

The part itself wasn't expensive, but they insisted the labor was extensive and pressured me into getting it repaired immediately. not trusting my instincts but also needing my car back quickly, I went ahead with the repair. About a month later, I found out the issue was actually related to a recall. That meant I could have had the entire repair done at the dealership for free. What makes it worse is that they clearly knew something was up they even told me they had to contact the dealer for information. Because of that, I ended up paying a couple THOUSAND dollars I didn't need to spend. In hindsight, they were aware it was likely a recall and didn't disclose it properly. Very shady experience definitely go somewhere else.
