I have owned my 04 Boxster S for about two months. I bought it from out-of-state and drove it home. I originally took it to the local dealership to get a new key remote. They were very helpful and invited me to come in and spend some time with a technician going over my car and teaching me about it.

I was able to take them up on their offer yesterday. The technician spent two hours with me going over all key parts of the car, explaining vulnerabilities and thoroughly evaluateing the vehicle. He topped off all fluids, found a nail in the tire which he repaired at no cost, recommended alignment because of some cupping in the back tires. Except for the alignment he found nothing wrong with the car and commented very positively on how well it has been maintained. He also had a '13 Boxster S up on another lift and showed me some of the differences in technology that 10 years will make.
All in all, it deepened my appreciation for this car and I was very impressed with the level of knowledge and customer service of Porsche of the Village.

I've been very pleased with the service provided by NW Imports in Austin, TX. The Porsche racing mechanic near me recommended them when he conducted the PPI on the 2002 Boxster I wound up buying. I've subsequently been to them twice and have been very very satisfied with their expertise and service:

@mstephensfache:

You have several good options in Cincy. I have also been to Porsche of the Village (POV) and agree with everything you say. Nice people and they do very good work.

Another option if you want to save a few bucks on labor charges about 45 minutes east of Cincy in Batavia is Wright Motorsports. These guys come at Porsche repairs from an entirely different angle. Repairs are their side business. Their main line of business is building race cars. (3rd in class at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona). While POV caters to the county club crowd. these guys cater to the motorheads. Back in the Spring I chose them over POV to replace my clutch, flywheel, RMS and IMSB. They did great work. When it came down to settle up they were cheaper on labor than POV and gave me an invoice itemized down to the bolts on the flywheel. Plus I figured if they could build a car that could hold up to the 24 hours of Daytona they would do a good job my DD. As an added bonus when I picked up my car they took me back in the garage and showed me around the 3 cars they were prepping for a race at Sebring, including Kristin Treager's (The Car Guy Show) famous White Tiger GT/3. I kick myself for not bringing a camera, too cool.

All said either way POV or WM you have two great options.

I would highly recommend Pedro Bonilla ("Pedro's Garage") who is located in Weston, Florida. I have been using Pedro for my Porsche repairs, maintenance, etc. He specializes in Porsches and is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and very reasonable with his pricing. His telephone number is (954) 385-0330.

I wanted to address the 'roaring" noise in the back that was bad wheel bearings and also wanted to get the original water pump replaced as it had some coolant leaking around it during the annual maintenance last year.

Taylor and his team gave me back a new Boxster with new wheel bearings, a new water pump, oil change, and a few other mx goodies. The car runs silent and I can hear the exhaust now! ;-) I believe in this man's work and his new shop is much better than the work area he had in Springfield. If you are looking for an independent mechanic who delivers a great product, he is well versed in Boxsters and does GREAT work. Here is his website:

Just a satisfied customer,

Taylor and his crew just installed a rebuilt engine in my 02 and I must say, I am very happy. They did a great job, were very professional, and Taylor took the time to explain everything they had done, and why. I would most definitely recommend his shop.

This is a very good shop! They work on a lot of high end cars and they have mechanics that used to work for Porsche. While waiting for an alignment to be done, one of the mechanics came out of the back to talk to me and was surprised that it was not the previous owner. He knew the car and remembered who the owner was. Told me it was a good car and I'll be happy with it. Made me feel good at the time.

Also, I used his place for a state inspection:

Brand new to the forum and I will post a lengthy report and post pics of my 1999
Boxster later.

In the meantime here in Eastern Pennsylvania I've found a really great mechanic:

Modern Motor Works

Paul has done some excellent work on my car and is a wealth of knowledge.

I am brand new to this forum and to owning a Boxster. Are there any reputable Porsche shops in the Boise ID area. For that matter are there any other Boxster owners on this forum in this area. I'm seeing a lot of mid west and east.

By the way great forum!
