Do you always go to the dealer?
Hi fellow NW members,
May I know if you always take your Porsche (especially the people who bought your porsche brand new) to the dealer or a reputable shop locally when there is a problem or for check-ups...etc.
Is dealer really worth that much more than say a Porsche-specialized shop out there?
If you take it to a good local shop, please feel free to recommend it...
Thank you.

I always take mine to Barrier - have known the guys by first name in the service department through 3 Porsche's now. I give them coffee and they take good care of me (hehe). Seriously though - they are great and I trust them - although I know I pay more. They give me free loaner too if I need one.

I have an '84 Carrera. I'd be surprised if Barrier could even change my oil - they'd probably have to order the filter from Germany.
I think we're pretty fortunate to have so many excellent independent Porsche shops in Seattle.
Edit: I do most of my own work, but Gerber Motorsport is my shop of choice when something is over my head.
