Certified Technicians

When it comes to providing the highest quality service from a position of extensive training and direct experience, our certified service technicians know what they are doing! Mechanics working at independent repair shops may not have the same amount of training or experience. The love of vehicles and wanting to work with your hands will only get an uncertified mechanic so far when faced with a challenging service like a transmission replacement. Do you want to roll the dice with your technician's talent by taking your world-class vehicle to an independent shop where it receives subpar service? Our Porsche certified technicians' aptitude and skill reveal a primary competitive advantage regarding how we consistently provide better service quality compared to independents.

Genuine OEM Auto Parts

Getting the right parts for your Porsche when it is serviced is considered when you choose an independent shop compared to a certified Porsche service center. OEM parts (Original Equipment Manufacturer) are designed by your vehicle's manufacturer specifically for your car. They are cut to specifications and have a perfect fit based on the model of your car. Third-party or aftermarket parts refer to general parts that are designed to fit several vehicles. Any specific manufacturer does not develop them, but by an outside manufacturer to service several models and makes using the same part. While the aftermarket parts may fit, they are often not made to specifics and do not fit as well as an OEM part. This leaves room for fluid and air leaks, causing further damage down the line. External service centers also use them because they are less expensive. Our service center only carries, sells, and uses Porsche OEM parts!
