Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys, Anyone know of a good independent mechanic in the metro Detroit area. I'm in Brighton and work in Troy so I would be willing to travel pretty far for a good one. The thread above does not list a single one in Michigan, so that is why I posted here. Thanks

POST 2Original post

I may be shooting from the hip, but there was a shop in Royal Oak that used to be owned by a friends family in school. I dont remember the name but they did work on alot of Porsche cars. The shop is off of Delemere ( between 14 mile and Normandy ). Hope it helps. Patrick

POST 3Original post

Don't come to the Toledo dealership. They don't answer the phone and the parts desk sees you as an inconvience. I plan to go to Anna Arbor when I need a new key.

POST 4Original post

I can recommend P.A.T. in Ann Arbor; there are usually a handful of Porsches there for service and they've always done good work on my Lotus Esprit and others. P.A.T. website -Matt

POST 6Original post

I needed a shifter bushing replaced and found this independent shop in Pontiac MI. Right across the street from the M1 Concourse. Very knowledgeable and don’t treat you like a Porsche Step child just because you drive an 03 BOXSTER.
