He works on all types of European cars but specializes in Porsches.

Yes! He is quite reasonable and knowledgeable. He is in the midst of an engine swap for me and is fixing other things while he has the car.

1st visit to Dumont's reminded me of the Bug Shops back in the day where everybody took their VW's to get repaired. Nobody took the VW to the overpriced Man (dealers). You drive up and Porsche’s are all over the place good sign. Meet Debbie and Bella it was a good feeling like meeting a good friend.

Inquired about getting a PPI on 2 Boxster’s S I was looking at. Got good info for a great price. Next meet Mike owner and we had a good informational & educational visit. He took me back in the shop which no dealer would do. Showed me around and educated me about what to look for when buying a Boxster and showed some of the jobs in progress. Told him the 2 cars I was looking at and gave the pros and cons of each years, mileage and expected expenses for both. He felt one was a better option than other and explained his rational which made good sense. This internally validated the direction I was headed. And scheduled PPI in 2 days. They make time for these as the know people are wanting to make a decision. PPI was $300 and would take about 3 hrs. Test drive, insp, drop oil pan, and Durametric scan.

Owner was also there and I had informed him about the oil pan drop and was fine with that. He also asked for oil change since it was there. Oil filter, pug and pan was insp and looked good. He replaced plug w/magnetic one and insp oil filter & plug. After insp he sat down with both of us went over the results, explained printout and then a walk around the car, recommended services and estimate and answered questions. All in all, the experience couldn’t have been better. You can tell this is an honest shop who will treat you and your car right.

Purchased the car about 10 days later and 3 days later took it back for repairs. It was done before I asked to have it back and $230 less than estimate. Again my experience picking it up was stellar. Debbie & Mike explained everything and said if I had any concerns or question come on back and you knew he genuinely wanted me to be happy with the shop and enjoy worry free driving.

One of my tops concerns moving to a new town 15k miles away and buying a Boxster was finding a good shop. What peace of mind I have with Debbie & Mike.

Found a great one. Westside Autobarn. Harry Chamness builds Porsche racing engines and specializes in Boxsters. He did my 30K service and a PPI, post purchase inspection. Said my '99 was the best he had ever seen. I put another grand into it and it was worth it.
Folks in the Tampa area should check him out. Very honest and reasonable. Took me for a ride in his Boxster and the G's glued me to the seat. Felt like I was in my '63 Cobra.

Hi,

Can someone recommend a good Porsche service shop/ mechanic in Northern Virginia (Manassas/ Gainesville area)?

Thank you.

Any of the Ontario guys familiar with Hockley Autosport? Wondering if they are a good shop.

[no1tmorrow]

Anyone have a good one in the Kansas City Area? Bob Hindson Racing is a great place but their pricing is out of my budget. If I had a 30k+ Porsche I would take it to them without thinking about it. But my little 7k car is a little underbudget for 4-7k repairs.

Thanks

Anyone here in the Treasure Coast FL area? Newbie here, just brought my new (older) 2000 Boxter S home and prefer to stay local.

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.

From what I've read on another forum, they are high end and thorough BUT you pay for what you get The owner is a former crew chief on a Grand AM Cup team and knows Porsche (other German brands too). But from what I can read, they're not a budget shop.
Hope that helps!
