Find your local mechanic/porsche specialist

[Frank N]

Auto-haus in Peapack NJ, I had them do the IMS/clutch. That is where I go when the P needs something beyond my skill set.

Hi All. New to the forums and started here to see if anyone knows of a good Porsche mechanic in the Gainesville, FL area. I see plenty in Jacksonville and Daytona which are about 2 hours from me, but they appear to be sparse in my neck of the woods. Thanks so much!!

Thanks Anker. Someone else recommended them recently as well. Was wondering if anyone on the boards had used anyone in the Gainesville area?

Can anyone please provide the name or names of good Porsche mechanics on eastern Long Island (Suffolk County)?

Thanks

I'm a long time Porsche owner and have owned a 911, a 914 (when I was 16 years old), a 928 S and two months ago bought my first Boxster. I restore cars as a hobby

Out of all these cars I think I have to say that the Boxster is my favorite, it's just a spectacularly good handling car and super fun to drive.

This Boxster is a 99 model with low mileage. I paid a modest premium because of the low mileage thinking I was going to get a car that would be in relatively good condition.
When I bought the car it was filthy and looked pretty bad but over the last month I've cleaned it up and it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor but unfortunately mechanically I think the car has been neglected because In the few weeks I've owned it's been To Porsche three times and it's really starting to cost a fortune....

There are still issues I'm finding that I don't particularly want to tackle myself and I'm very picky about my cars so anyone that has the information of who is an expert and reasonable in the Dallas area would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for the best shop in the Sacramento area to do a PPI on a 97-98 Boxster. Would love to have a Porsche only shop take a look at it, but it seems as though IPB-Autosport may be my best bet?

I want to find a shop that can do a great, thorough PPI while also advising me on the way to converting the Boxster to a spec build for PCA club racing. Would be a big plus if there was a performance/racing shop in the area that someone could recommend. Thanks in advance..

Hopefully, Chris/Deserion will answer this since he lives nearby, but does anyone have a preference between Omega Motorsports, Pulse Racing and Technical Dimensions in Jacksonville, FL?

Hi Jack my porsche boxster 3.4 custom 490 hp 3.3 0-60 was made in 2012 I fell in love with this car, and before this was porsche boxster 2.0 265hp made in 2007 and I can say that the new machine is much better and less likely to break. Very cool of course gift to his son, probably he is a fine fellow), I can advise you only what is better to take with 4 doors, since it will be easier, but I think you will make the right choice. With regard to insurance, I have been working as an insurance broker for many years and I can advise you to read this site. Http: //www.cheapautoinsurance.com/ How much I would not look for different sites, on this you will find the most current insurance and information about them.
And yes I think you can take his car =)
Good luck!

Go see Tom at Eurospec in Escondido. He's as honest as they come. I've been going to him for about 10 years now.

[Shawn Stanford]

I've used both of these guys with good results:

German Auto Specialists
1215 E. Ridge Pike
Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania

Rayco Eurospec
Wyoming Avenue
Kingston, Pennsylvania

German Auto Specialists did a very comprehensive PPI of my first Boxster. Rayco is local to me and is my go-to for the work I don't do myself.

My regular guy who was on vacation (who many of you use, I am sure) and I found Ruben in the interim.
Now I have 2 great options in the south bay area!

Dropped off my car at Tony & Brothers in Sunnyvale, CA https://www.german-auto-repair.com/ - great guys to talk with and top notch customer service. I am getting Water Pump changed/updated - no time for DIY this time around.

I usually get the speech from indy shops about performing my own maintenance but Lou was super cool. We chatted about them maintaining my car from here on out. Just too busy for DIY these days. As long as you procure OEM approved parts they are cool with their customers bringing in parts. I had a MAHLE fuel filter in trunk that I have been putting off for a while and they will be installing it for me. They were transparent about everything and I didn't leave with a sour taste in mouth.

much appreciated.

I’m a newbie to the Porsche world, does anyone know of a mechanic in Bradenton, Florida 1997 Boxer

[Stiglitz]

FYI, anyone in Orlando area that needs service, check out Sean at Nort Northam Collection.

Amazing guy, fast/thorough/FAIR!

Super guy

My first experience with them, and while I hope I don't have to see him very often, it will be my "goto" location.

Cannot say enough good things about his work.

You may want to tell others where you're looking? Hehe

And just me personally, if I were doing it again, I wouldn't have changed the IMS. I did mine at 147k miles, 'cuz i was doing a clutch. But that bearing was perfect.... and proven.

As title says, I’m looking for a fair minded, Porsche mechanic to do some repairs that are not DIY.(clutch, water pump, I M S ceramic bearing install)
Any help from you guys appreciated. Thanks
