In the Spring Hill/Brooksville Florida area, highly recommend Bayside Auto Works. GREAT prices, knowledgeable about the car, even answered my questions before I could ask them.

I recently had some work done by McCarthy Tire in Charlotte NC, 420 Graham St. (704.334.9789) and they did a great job at a reasonable price. My engine overheated due to a water pump, so they replaced the water pump, serp. belt, and thermostat for me, and also replaced my front brakes, rotors, and sensors. it took them one day to do the work, and they installed OEM Parts. They also recently balanced and mounted my tires for $20 each, that i purchased online, and i also used to take my tacoma there for work whenever it was needed. i would recommend them for work. good, honest people, the General Manager "Kyle" personally handled my work, and was very professional.

Northern Virginia Porsche Service | Auto Sportsystems Group | 703-876-2811

Can't recommend them enough!

Geoff there knows his business.

They have all sorts of track cars outside and some being worked on from track wrecks or just being tuned up.

The mechanics there work smart, they saved me probably 2k from doing a more simple check. I'd say if I were somewhere else, they would have charged me 2k just because.

Honest work, and just a true Porsche enthusiast!

If you need work done, don't hesitate.

They have a Hunter machine too! He adjusted mine properly, and the car handles great. These cars are wonderful, but the last "hunter" adjustment wasn't done properly, and I totally feel the difference. That's what I get for using a non Porsche shop.

As long as there is a Porsche in my Northern VA driveway, I will be a customer of theirs.

ProTech Motorsports in Greenville, SC

I highly recommend ProTech Motorsports in Greenville SC. Have lots of experience in air and water cooled, street and race cars. Very cool guys and great to work with. Will install parts you bring in. Knowledgable and very honest. One thing I find especially cool - they encourage me to work on car myself.

Second that recommendation for Auto Sports System Group. They did a fair amount of work on my car ('03 986S) in the past year, both trouble areas and (deferred) maintenance. They were happy to work with me to keep the cost down. As an example, my window was acting flaky. They told me the cost of the new window motor (I want to say $400+) and suggested that at that cost I could just live with it. While I was mulling it I talked to DC Auto (a dismantler in NC) who quoted me about $150 for a used window motor. They agreed that at that price it was worth doing and taking the risk and installed it for a reasonable fee.

The shop is immaculate, they are clearly proud of it, and take the time to answer questions

Fort Wayne, IN

Oddly, I sent Facebook messages to two and an email to one inquiring about replacing the clutch and IMS bearing in my 2000 Boxster S, but none have replied so far. Does anyone have a recommendation in the Fort Wayne, IN area?

I've contacted SweetCars, Werners and the Porsche dealership.

Thanks,
Mark

I can recommend these guys. They did a clutch, RMS and turn signal switch for me recently. Good attention to detail. Reasonable pricing. Accurate estimate, no BS.

European Auto Surgeons Gardiner Maine is now certified to install the IMS "The Solution". They're a good and honest shop you can trust.
I went for a drive last weekend and stopped in for a visit. It was then that Aaron and Amy informed me of their new certification.
This shop is committed to Porsche owners.
