Contact Chris Miller, owner and operator of Newport Motorsports in Newport Beach. Great work, fair price and one hell of a nice guy.

Aase Motors (near my home) in Fullerton and Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest (near my office).


Can you be more specific about the desired location?

Bruce Cambell with Autowerks in Huntington Beach. I've had a lot of independents and dealers work on my car, and he was the best, no bs, no over-charging and always very informative.

I've known Tony Callas for many years. He's one of the most knowledgable and honest mechanics anywhere. He has worked on Porsches since he was a little kid, literally, because his dad was and still is a Porsche mechanic in Houston. Tony is among the top race mechanics in the country, heading numerous teams in ALMS. You can check out www.reiser-callas.com

I've recently used the "German Car Garage" in Mission Viejo (949)859-8686 for my 60k service and to install my shocks/springs. I'm very pleased with their work and attention to detail. Quite reasonable rates as well.

Previously I have used Andial in Santa Ana, their work is top notch.

I second Tony Callas. His team is very thorough and completed my 30K (at 25K) and installed the cup car springs with Bilstien HDs. Feel free to PM me if you need more info.

Larry, my car's po used "German Car Garage" and based on the records I have, the prices were very good. The only thing is they used regular engine oil, not synthetic as recommended. It could be the po's request but I was surprised they used it at all. My car is running flawlessly though.

I have used the German Car Garage on my wife's BMW, and felt their attention to detail was not there. They don't do much Porsche work, actually - mostly BMW & Mercedes.
