Default Good Porsche Mechanic in Chicago?

I just picked up a 2011 Panamera 4S with 53K miles. All is well and it runs great, but I live downtown Chicago and was hoping to find a good shop that can help me look everything over and perhaps updated the PCM software. Can you guys recommend anyone in Chicago where you have had a good experience? Or do you always just take it to the dealer?

Midwest Performance Cars is a shop just west of the loop that I would highly recommend. I took many cars there when I lived in Chicago and always got great service from them. They service all european makes and models.

Thanks. I actually just found them earlier in the day on yelp. Reviews seems mostly good. Thankfully my work will pick up maintenance, but I still hope there is nothing tremendously wrong with the car. It's such a pleasure to drive.

+1 on Fischer Motors! Rick is a great guy, reasonable and knows his stuff.

Default Yeah, I am Zombi-ing this thread

Couple different questions here. Any more to this list? I am in the north burbs.

Second, my car is still in CPO. Should I just take it to Exchange or an independent or it doesn't matter.

Thanks!!!

Thanks for the tip to VFC--I live 5 blocks away! Talked to the owner Doug--great price quote for oil/filter change on my 2018 Porsche Panamera E-Hybrid!

Thank you.

I would take it to the Exchange. They do have competent mechanics. If for general maintenance like oil change, brakes, etc, you can try Axels Automotive in Lake Bluff.
