Porsche Performance Without Compromise: Santa Barbara's Independent Specialist

Yes. We offer the most thorough PPI in Santa Barbara, including DME reports, paint meter readings, and a full mechanical health check. Our comprehensive Porsche Pre-Purchase Inspection includes: complete undercarriage inspection, brake system evaluation, suspension assessment, engine compression test, over-rev analysis from the DME (Digital Motor Electronics), paint thickness measurements to detect prior body work, full diagnostic scan, test drive evaluation, and a detailed written report with photos. This ensures you know exactly what you're buying before making your investment.

Absolutely. We are equipped to handle high-voltage battery cooling services and electric drivetrain diagnostics for the Taycan and E-Hybrid models. Our technicians are trained and certified in high-voltage systems and follow strict safety protocols when working on electric Porsche vehicles. We can perform routine maintenance (brakes, suspension, HVAC), battery thermal management system service, electric motor diagnostics, and comprehensive electrical system troubleshooting on all Taycan models (4S, Turbo, Turbo S, GTS) as well as Cayenne E-Hybrid, Panamera E-Hybrid, and other plug-in hybrid Porsche vehicles.

Yes. We reset the maintenance computer and update your service records to reflect factory-spec compliance. Using PIWIS diagnostic equipment, we properly reset service intervals, update digital service history, and document all maintenance performed. Your Porsche's onboard computer will display accurate service information, and the vehicle's complete maintenance history is preserved just as it would be at the dealership. This is critical for maintaining proper records and resale value.

We service all Porsche models including:

• • 911 (All generations: 964, 993, 996, 997, 991, 992)
• • Cayenne (All models including Turbo & E-Hybrid)
• • Macan (S, GTS, Turbo)
• • Panamera (All models including E-Hybrid)
• • Taycan (4S, Turbo, Turbo S, GTS, Cross Turismo)
• • Boxster & Cayman (718, 981, 987, 986)
• • Classic Air-Cooled (911, 912, 914, 930, 964, 993)
• • GT Models (GT3, GT3 RS, GT2, GT2 RS, GT4)

The Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing is a known concern in M96 and M97 engines (1997-2008 911, Boxster, and Cayman models). While not all vehicles will experience IMS bearing failure, it's a potential issue that can cause catastrophic engine damage if it fails. We offer preventative IMS bearing replacement and can assess your specific vehicle's risk based on year, mileage, and maintenance history. If you're considering purchasing a Porsche from this era, we strongly recommend a pre-purchase inspection including IMS bearing evaluation. For current owners, we can help you make an informed decision about preventative replacement versus continued monitoring.

Our customers typically save 30-40% compared to dealership rates while receiving the same quality of service. We use the same PIWIS diagnostic software, genuine Porsche parts (or equivalent Tier-1 OEM), and follow factory service procedures—but without the dealership overhead. You receive factory-level technical expertise, personalized attention, and transparent pricing. Your Porsche deserves expert care at a fair price, and that's exactly what we provide.
