Default SoCal Area Porsche dealer Service Department Recommendations

Hi There Everyone,

In February I purchased a CPO'd 2011 GTS convertible in Austin Texas. Which I LOVE!

I had a few minor issues that needed to be taken care of. Since I live in Long Beach, I took the car to Circle Porsche in Long Beach. I had to take the car back three times to get these items resolved and one item is still not right.

I have to say that Circle Porsche's service department was disappointing to say the least. They did not take my concerns seriously and were quite apathetic every time I brought the car back to them.

I have a 6 year service coming up and a couple of niggles still need to be worked out.

Can someone recommend a dealer service department that prides themselves on excellent service in my area? possibly a service adviser as well?

These are the Dealers that I would say are driveable for me:

Newport Beach Porsche
Porsche South Bay
Porsche downtown LA
McKenna Porsche Norwalk

I truly enjoy reading through this forum and feel it's such a helpful resource!

Big Thanks for your Help!

McKenna is closer to you, but Rambo at Porsche Downtown LA is also awesome. This learned after a HORRIBLE experience at Porche Beverly Hills a month ago when I took my car to them for service and it was returned to me with $2400 worth of front bumper damage and granola sprinkled about the interior. Total negligent A-HOLES.

Fwiw I've had good experiences w Porsche South Bay. Rick Gutierrez is my current service advisor but I've been happy with all of them.

If you are willing to goto an Indy, lots nearby: Callas, Arredondo, Dutch Treat are a few off the top of my head.

If you're looking for an indy shop with a phenomenal reputation, try out TRE in Van Nuys or TLG in North Hollywood (no affiliation to either) - it's a bit of a drive, but the work will be absolutely spot on. Just my 2 cents..
