Default SP Motorsports Shout Out

I need to give a big shout out to SP Motorsports, and shop owner Chasen Garcias. Last year I took a huge step up from DE’ing a 997.2 RS street car to racing a 997 Cup. SP Motorsports guided through the initial steps of ownership - sorting the car, identifying what needed to be fixed, repaired, replaced, etc. to getting it set-up to my liking and getting me comfortable in the car. A Cup car is extremely daunting to learn and run. Just the Motec system alone was way more than I could handle. Chasen dug into the s/w and quickly got me usable data. I then decided to expand the capabilities and again he delivered the goods. SP Motorsports has provided the track-side support at every event I’ve attend with the Cup. They’ve been a great partner, always willing to go the extra mile to keep the car on track.

If you’re in the San Francisco bay area and looking for a knowledgable Porsche shop, check them out. They not only provide routine maintenance and service, they offer trailering and full arrive and drive.

+1. Chasen has been maintaining my car for over a year, through track days and basic maintenance. SP has transported the car to several events too. Very happy with their work. Thanks Chasen!

I love supporting businesses with great people. Chasen and his parents are great people. They have taken care of my '08 GT2 and my Aunt's '11 GT3 RS. We are very pleased with their service, attention to detail, and caring for our cars as if they were their own.

Chasen and family are accustomed to 7.2 GT3 RS' and now 991 GT3. They are owners of these fabulous machines and understand how to care for them as such. Best wishes Chasen!

Trakcar - You need to join us for some more fun this year: 3 miles of Thunderhill in March, newly resurfaced Buttonwillow in May; Laguna Seca in June!
