Chris's German Auto in Bellevue has a very good reputation http://www.chrisgerman.com/ My brother inlaw used them for years. I ended up using Barrier for my inspection, 996 though, as the car had been serviced there but plan to use Chris's in the future. Another well respected eastside shop is Squires Autowerke but I really know very little about them http://www.squiresautowerke.com/index.htm Good luck.

I bought a '99 996 a couple of weeks ago with the airbag failure light on. During the inspection the shop told me it was the CODE 46 - Seat Buckle so, I tried the contact cleaning with DeoxIT D5 as suggested elsewhere in these forums. The shop, though dubious, reset the code. I haven't seen the airbag light stay on since. I sprayed inside the rim of the belt buckle to try and get all the electrical contacts as well as in the harness under the seat and around the ground wire connection. I did the passanger seat too for good measure. How often will this need to be done to keep the contacts clean? I suppose I'll be ordering the Durametric before too long. Where is the TSB on the issue? Thanks for the help!
