Default Independant service for my 2014 911S

I live in the Niagara area, my car came off of the warranty as a PCO in January. Now looking for a good independant. I was thinking about Zorotech in Stoney Creek since he's the closest one I think.

Looking for reviews , opinions and or experiences from them.

I would prefer not to have to go to Toronto if I can

Thanks

Auguste is closer to you but I also hear he might be retiring.

Those are suggestions that are closer. I personally use Hunter Motorsports on a few cars. But he's in Mississauga, Dixie/Dundas area. Brent is fair and good.

In Oakville, there is Mantis, I've used them as well for a few things in recent years.

Auguste is definitely the man in your area. But he is getting up there in years, Last time i saw him and his wife was at a get together last Spring. He was hobbling pretty good and wondered how many more years he had left in him.

There is also Wolff Autowerks in Burlington. It’s operated by Ernie the previous owner of Mantis. Don’t have first hand experience with Wolff but I expect good things given the level of Ernie’s experience.

i always wondered about that .. spent his life building up a business, only to sell it off and start over.. seems odd..

Nice guy though , last time i saw him he has lost a ton of weight since the time before that, i hardly recognized him. i hope his health is okay and it was the good weight loss

He was bored with retirement I think. I saw him at the DE event on the weekend, he was driving his recently restored air-cooled 911 and Wolff brand was on display not far from Mantis camp.

As a Niagara guy,

Auguste is your guy, been using him for over 20 years.
Zorotech also good.
Not Porsche specific but, Euromotive is also very good in Niagara(trained with Auguste for a while I believe).

So I went at Auguste's shop and had a long chat with him and his lovely wife. He will look after my baby LOL, the only drawback is that he told me he does not have any of the computer equipment to sometimes analyze problems, but for everything else he can look after it.
Glad you guys gave his name, and glad to see another niagara guy (88 951S)using him and along with two other alternatives if need be.
Thank you again
