Porsche Service & Repair in Miami
Porsche builds the most usable performance cars on earth, and Miami is full of them. From 911s and Caymans to Cayennes, Macans, Panameras, and Taycans, we provide dealer-level service with honest pricing and real Porsche experience.
Common Porsche Problems We Fix
Every brand has known weak points. Catching them early is the difference between a routine repair and a major bill — here is what we watch for on every Porsche that comes through our shop.
IMS bearing (older 911/Boxster)
The famous issue on 1997–2008 M96/M97 engines. Many cars are already updated — we verify, and retrofit during clutch jobs when needed.
Bore scoring on some 911/Cayman engines
Certain 996/997 engines can develop cylinder scoring — a borescope check is essential before buying.
Coolant pipes on Cayenne/Panamera
Early V8 Cayennes used plastic coolant pipes that fail; upgraded aluminum replacements are the permanent fix.
PDK and water pump services
PDK transmissions are excellent but need fluid services; water pumps are a routine wear item worth replacing proactively.

Porsche Questions We Hear Most
The questions buyers and owners ask on forums, Reddit, and in our lobby — answered from real shop experience.
Which used 911 should I avoid?
None outright — but 996/997.1 cars need IMS and bore-score verification. A proper PPI with a borescope tells you exactly what you're buying.
Are Cayennes and Macans expensive to keep?
They are among the most reasonable luxury SUVs to maintain at an independent shop. Stay ahead of coolant system and suspension items and they run forever.
Do you service Taycans?
We service Taycan brakes, tires, suspension, and 12V systems; high-voltage battery work goes to the dealer.
