I feel I need to tell everyone about my experience with Courtney and Domenic yesterday.

So at the end of last summer, my coolant expansion tank starts leaking. I take it to Autowerks and they replace it with a new one, no big deal. So yesterday it starts leaking again. I know it's a common problem with them so fine I drive to Autowerks and Domenic looks at it.

While he we're standing outside my car, some lady at the gas station, driving a brand new 335 starts backing up really close to my car. I'm thinking she's going to stop, but Domenic jumps between the cars and tries to get her attention. Well she backs right up and crushes his leg between our bumpers!! His leg is now killing him, and I'm glad it doesn't seem overly serious, but it was pretty heroic of him to do this. And in the end he did save my bumper from any serious damage.

Anyway getting back to the cracked expansion tank, Autowerks replaced the tank free of charge, including labor. They went beyond good customer service not only to go after Porsche to try to get the tank covered, but they did the labor for free.

I've taken my car to them since I got it, and refered several people who have all been very happy....

Wow!
Domenic gets my vote.
It is hard to find people that care, and specially that know what they are doing
when it comes to p-cars.

This is not heroic, rather pretty darn stupid
I would rather see my car destroyed than anyone hurt. I hope Domenic recovers quickly.

Hope Dominic is ok, that could have turned out to be a very serious injury. What did the driver have to say for herself?

Wow, as much as I love my car I wouldn't want somebody hurt over it (unless i'm doing the hurting :P). I hope he's ok.

Quick opinion, I have an appointment at Pfaff on Wednesday next week, would anyone recommend that I bring my car to Autowerks instead? Do they work on 944's?

Courtney (owner of AUTOWERKS) drives a 944 himself. You could not be in better hands.

From the web site.....if my math is correct, over 20 yrs 944 experience. A pleasure to do business with.
