My “new” '99 Tip presented with a small pink drip spot on the garage floor and a new “growl” left rear, and it requested a visit to the Porsche doctor. First time for repairs since I bought the car, so I didn’t have a good shop yet. My father always trusted Otto’s in Venice with his old 356, so I thought I’d try them. I was very pleasantly surprised. The lead technician did a “quick listen” and made an initial diagnosis, which turned out to be absolutely correct. Guess the previous owner had bottomed out the car and a coolant leak finally developed. The Water pump was also going south (the growl), so I had the work done and it has been running great since. Reasonable price, too.
Otto’s new lead technician loves Boxsters and other newer P-cars, which is kind of a change since Otto's Venice was formerly not known for working on water-cooled Porsches. They did a great job on mine. Now the car runs right between the “eight and the zero” in 180 and I have a new shop for the future.
They also dump all the computer codes (at no additional charge) when they have a car in for service. That's a great added bonus!
