I'm looking to get some work done on my '05 CayenneS, who would you guys recommend. I'm looking to avoid a trip to the dealer. Everywhere I've searched has turned up either Mantis or EU auto.
Thanks
Andy

I highly recommend Franzl at Auto Select in Newmarket. He is extremely well regarded in the Porsche community and has done fabulous work for me. He used to be the head mechanic at Pfaff and has been running his own Porsche repair shop for God know how long. He is reasonable and excellent.

05 Cayenne, how many miles you got on it? not under warranty?
what was the build date?
have you posted pictures? this is a requisite on this forum.

I am a new to the Porsche family and was bit intimidated by the prospective of expensive maintenance and repairs. I went to see Courtney at EU and was extremely happy. He and his staff were very clear and specific about work that I had asked to be done and were forthcoming with advice and suggestions. As well, they were substantially lower priced than Pfaff or DFC.
Highly recommended!

Welcome to the Canuck forum! Yeah the indies are way cheaper than the dealers. Don't worry about the costs of maintenance; my last service consisted of 2 air filters (engine and cabin) for a total of $100. The rest for this year include: oil & filter service $225, brake fluid flush $140 and here's the killer: wiper blades $65! These are great cars and very reliable. Tires get expensive, but that's the nature of the beast.
I'll add Brent Hunter at Hunter Motorsport in Mississauga. Good guy. I've used Mantis, Hunter and Autowerks and I have nothing but praise for those shops; top notch!

How are Autowerks with regards to 944 turbos? specifically cars with a MAF and APE chip. I'm looking having my leaky radiator changed for example. Have you guys heard of Keltech Performance in Mississauga? I've been going there the last few times.

I believe Courtney from Autowerks drives a 951.
I have talked to Keltech's owner over the phone for quotes, and he was very helpful. But I haven't used them before. There's also Hunter Motorsport, Refined Motorsport, and Mantis Racing out in the West end.
