PorBoys / Joe Zeiph
110 2nd Ave South, C-7
Pacheco, CA 94553 (Concord Airport)
(510) 437-9400

Joe refreshed my 2000 3.2L Boxster S Engine which was suffering from a 5.95 degree camshaft deviation; he replaced a cracked cylinder head, intermediate shaft bearing (IMS), rear main seal (RMS), chain tensioner pads, air oil separator (AOS), clutch, engine and transmission mounts and refreshed the suspension with all new hardware, bushings, shocks and struts. Joe is a dedicated Porsche mechanic that will tackle the most difficult jobs, I highly recommend him.

Pacific Power Motorsports German Autowerk / Eric Leman
1413 Carlback Avenue
Walnut Creek, CA 94596
(925) 937-2277

Eric, Wayne and the team at PPM are skilled mechanics located near downtown Walnut Creek. They performed the pre-purchase inspection (PPI) and regular scheduled maintenance on my 2000 Boxster S; during the PPI they diagnosed a 5.95 degree camshaft deviation early before it became a BIG problem. They do not work on the engine internals, Porboys can help you on that, but they are very highly regarded for their work on Porsche suspension system for the street and track. They are very efficient and reasonably priced, I highly recommend them.

Fister Sport Exhaust / Darin Fister
150 Middlefield Court, Suite G
Brentwood, California 94513
(925) 308-4370

If you are looking to upgrade your exhaust note, I highly recommend the Fister exhaust. It sounds great and they are located in our back yard. You drop off your current exhaust and they will fabricate the mods and can ceramic coat it too. The turn around is about 4-6 weeks.

I have used all of the above service providers and would highly recommend them all.

Star Tech European in Vacaville. Great folks, they have worked on my 914 and my Boxster and they do great work at a reasonable price.

Any suggestions for a reliable mechanic/service facility in the Middletown/Monticello area of the Catskills in New York? How about Brooklyn, NY?

Thank you.

PowerTech in Rockaway, NJ will do a great job for you if it is "central" enough for you.

2005 Boxster base, 47k miles.

Planning to replace clutch and IMS in the next few months.

Would like to compare a few LA area Porsche mechanics.
Price sensitive... not looking for a $6,000 job.

I vetted a few mechanics from the Coachella Valley all the way into Riverside when I needed my Tiptronic rebuilt. Sam runs his own shop... does all the work. Very nice guy.

I've been using Precision Motors in Canton- great group of people - reasonable pricing and they've helped me thru several repairs - also fantastic with my daughter's previous Mini Cooper

Indy mechanic is great but always discourages major work to the Boxster since no resale value. Gets annoying after a while so I switched to Don Wise. Don is the man and gets it. He put a lot of emphasis on the driving experience.

[alansdavid]

Its a shame they say no resale value its just not appreciating fast

Can anyone recommend a good indie?

I am looking at these guys, Matrix Integrated (Westside).

Amy thoughts?

@Luckyman01 I replied to your other thread but just to make sure you see it.

For the Portland, Oregon/Vancouver, Washington area I strongly recommend Unlimited VW.

Back when I lived in Vancouver (up to mid 2021) I took my VW to Mike at Unlimited VW.

Google Maps says they're closed permanently, but I'm pretty sure its a mistake because they moved locations in 2020 and I think it's a carry over from the old location. There are reviews from 3 months ago. I would call ahead of time to confirm, and if they are still open they'll probably want to know Google Maps has them listed as closed.

I had Mike and his team swap my water pump, exhaust manifold gaskets, and do some basic diagnostics. Always had an excellent experience from price to service.

It's a family owned business (Mike and his wife, can't remember her name) and I highly recommend them.
