SOCAL: Independent Mechanic List

Hello Guys,

Pretty new to Porsche. I recently bought a 2007 Cayman and would like to know fellow owners where they take the car in for service. Its my first Porsche, Please be gentle

So wanted to make a list of where the independent shops are located to help other owners. I have used the search tool and did not find anything.

I actually had a terrible experience at House and I didn't discover there faulty work till after it started to fall apart. I would stay away.

I just use my dealer next to my work, Walter's Porsche. The head foreman, Craig has a wealth of knowledge is always willing to meet with the customers if they have specific issues. Justin the client advisor used to be a mechanic himself so he knows the in's and outs of our cars. I might of saved money trying to do it myself or using an independent, but the work has always been less detailed and not up to OEM standards. I used a lot of the independents that are popular in the OC with less then stellar results. They might have great customer service but the work is so so.
