Hi everyone, new 997.2 C2S owner here. I'm looking for reputable Porsche service shops in the Sarasota and Bradenton area. Suncoast Porsche has very high service costs. Thanks!

 

I am only an occasional visitor in Sarasota but Rennhaus is one option. There are two other places I know of but both are pretty much one man shows and seem more inclined towards the earlier, air-cooled cars.

 

Thanks! I will give them a call

 

There are only two indys that I know of and as rockhouse said, they seem more oriented towards the older air cooled cars. Suncoast is definitely higher in price but not outrageous. Just had an oil change done for $230. And had two rear tires mounted a couple of months ago for $110. I don't like to sit and wait for the car so I always drop it off late in the day and always get a Porsche loaner at no cost. I have waited a few times for small stuff to be done and they have a really cool showroom with a collection of new Pcars of all flavors. Free snacks and drinks too. You get 10% discount as a PCA member and any warranty issues are handled without fuss. All said, between the loaner cars and their experience with warranty claims, the slightly higher price at Suncoast is worth it to me.

 

You may be better off to go to st pete area, theres several good ones there

 

When buying my 957 Cayenne Turbo S from an independent high-end dealer in FL, I had a PPI done at Bert Smith Porsche in St. Pete and they were great. Tech let me hang out with him as we went through the car, took me on the test drive where we checked out everything, including all the 4 WD modes. Were ready for me on-time and got me out on time too. Cost was reasonable. Bill Smith was the SA at the time.
