I have been using Rector for the last 12 years with multiple Audis and Porsches. Hector has been an excellent resource. I often tell him to take my car for a spin. They've helped me several times in difficult situations. Sorry that your experience was different.

Don't like my local Pcar dealer much. Tech I had to work with for warranty issue was awesome though. I let him take my car home as issue needed driving to check. Kept me informed with progress via email and pictures.
I had to get airbag light reset after installing track seats. He met me on a saturday morning and we stood outside in the 10 degree weather with my car on the trailer to reset it. On top of that he did it for no charge.
Sorry for your issues with dealer.

Barrier in Bellevue Wa is the best dealer I have ever experienced. When my P4S required an engine replacement within 2 weeks of buying it, they provided me with a Pano Turbo for the 4 weeks they had my car. Could have put me in a Kia. Great guys!

I have used Sonnen. Service adviser Gary is great. Was on my way to the track and my pos Cayenne blew a rear Cardan shaft as I was towing. Luckily I was an arms way from Sonnen but by time I limped over there it was 5 minutes before service was closing.
Talked to Gary he said unhook your trailer we'll replace it. Thought my weekend was over but they replaced it and I was on my way. Mike

Rector has come down in my book. I called there to get a quote to fix my Turbo's spoiler. The person I talked to quoted me around $3K. (This was quite a bit over the roughly $2K I had been quoted by anotehr dealer.) The person went on to say if I bought an aftermarket warranty -- I forget the price or maybe it was never given -- this repair would be covered. I asked how the car with over 100K miles could be warrantied and the phone conversation was over.
Scratch Rector from my list of dealers to use for buying or servicing my cars.
I liked Fremont enough to buy my Turbo there but the last couple of services were not done well and I have not been back.
Stead Porsche has been pretty good the few times I used it for service and I bought my Cayman S there.
Since a Porsche dealer appeared in Livermore (the dealer moved from Oakland) I have used Livermore Porsche and have been really happy with the service.

Fremont is good. Last i was there Gunther was the only person in service and i feel like he is under stress to much. the other guy that was there with Gunther prior (Williams ? ) he was spotty. I work in Ptown- maybe I'll try Livermore ? No I'm a creature of habits... going to stick with Sonnen.

I drive 40 miles to get to Rector, the only place I take my CGT. Many times I have dropped it off without an appointment and always get a pretty deluxe loaner car. Maybe CGT customers are taking the otherwise reserved cars lol.
Maybe I'm more relaxed about it though. I typically insist that the tech take a "joyride" in my car, even the CGT. I mean they keep the damn thing running for me. These Porsches are a wonder to behold and I love sharing it with the tech, rather than treating them as chattel to do my bidding and how dare they enter through the front door.
Anyway I've never experienced anything but excellent customer service and excellent work on my cars. Right now I've decided against a new BMW (having previously had 2 new ones in the past 4-5 years) and will get an Audi instead, because there is no BMW dealer around that is worth spitting on. I do like the BMW lineup better, but service makes the sale. And I will buy and service said Audi at Rector.
I have a 991 gt3 on order through rector as well.
