Common Porsche problems we fix. What we see most in the shop.
Coolant leaks
Water pumps, hoses and expansion tanks wear with age. Older Cayenne V8s are also known for leaking coolant pipes under the intake.
Oil leaks and smoke
A worn valve cover gasket, a failing air-oil separator or a leaking rear main seal. Smoke at startup is often the first sign, so don’t ignore it.
IMS bearing worries
On 1997 to 2008 911, Boxster and Cayman engines, the intermediate shaft bearing can fail. So we check for warning signs and explain your options before anything fails.
Air suspension faults
A sagging corner or a suspension warning on a Cayenne or Panamera usually means a leaking air strut or a tired compressor. Once you see it, have it checked before the compressor wears out.
Battery and electrical faults
Porsches don’t like low voltage, and a weak battery can set off a string of warnings. That’s why we test the battery and charging system first.
Brake wear
Big brakes wear fast on spirited drives and mountain roads, so we measure pads and rotors and replace them before they become a safety issue.
Porsche models we work on. Coupes, convertibles and SUVs.
