Default EU Autowerks?

Anyone know if EU Autowerks is still any good? I have been in the past for Major Service on my 997. Emailed them twice recently and got no response. Any other recommendations? Got nothing from Gtek either.

Don't know after I was screwed over for the 3rd/4th time from basic mistakes I stopped going.

EU did the PPI on the Boxster and C. Walsh did a thorough job.

Emailed & tried calling EA when I shopping around for some work last year and same thing - no response.

Ended up going with Hunter Motorsports, a little further away but was very happy.

GTek did answer my calls, but were a bit slow on the e-mails. They were great over the phone and were helpful, even when I didn't proceed with the PPI.

No response from EU Autowerks by phone or e-mail.

Brett Hunter from Hunter Motorsports was great as well. Was honest and open about his shop's schedule but at the very least, pointed me to alternatives.

Thanks for the response guys! Good to know about EU. That's too bad.

Comments about Downtown Porsche? I used to go when they were still in their old location. How are they these days?

I had the PPI on my Turbo done at EA. No complaints.

EU and EA are different.

EU went way downhill when Dominic left. Started making mistakes so I moved on.

A little farther away, but Mantis in Oakville has been very fair with me. They just did some work on my new 993 and it will be going in next month for CV boots and a few other minor things...

Is a dealer really that much more expensive?

I take my cars to porsche Oakville. They treat me like I'm the king of Canada and their prices seem in line with others.

It definitely can be more expensive and time consuming. I know my car and have a understanding of the problems that it may be having and what needs to be looked at to fix the issue. I also personally prefer the direct communication with the person working under the hood rather than a relationship with a dealer service advisor.

Advisors are trained to talk to customers who have little to no knowledge about cars. Whenever I talk to them I feel like they don't understand the words coming out of my mouth.
