Porsche Repair in Simi Valley

Your Porsche Repair and Preventative Maintenance One-Stop Shop

There’s nothing quite like driving a Porsche. With their luxurious interiors, powerful engines, and amazing handling, it’s no wonder that this brand is both known and coveted around the world. That high-performance does come with a lot of moving parts that need to be maintained, but if you live in Simi Valley or the surrounding areas then we’ve got good news.

At The German Auto Doctor, we know every flavor of Porsche out there, so that targeted preventative maintenance for your specific model is a piece of cake – We’ll do all the scheduling and heavy lifting for you!

Today we’ll take a look at some of the preventative maintenance and repair offerings for Porsche that we provide at our humble shop so that you can get an idea of what we’re all about.

Did we mention that we also service Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagens? We do, but for now let’s go over some of the things we can do for your Porsche!

Preventative Maintenance Keeps Your Porsche Powerful

Maintaining your Porsche is a must if you want to keep enjoying it well into the foreseeable future. These vehicles are precision-engineered and all of that power needs to be carefully controlled and contained by means of regular preventative maintenance.

Let’s face it. At the kind of speeds you get with your Porsche, not taking care of it is a quick ticket to expensive repairs, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Below are some examples of preventative maintenance for a specific model, in this case a Porsche 718 Cayman:

  • 10,000 miles – At 10,000 miles, your Cayman needs some inspections done, such as a multi-point inspection, brakes, headlights, tires, engine, and transmission, and your synthetic oil and oil filter also need to be changed out. There’s more, but this gives you a general idea for this model.
  • 20,000 miles – At 20k miles, another multi-point inspection and oil and oil filter change is in order, and things like your Air filter intake system, power steering, coolant, and PDCC need to be inspected. It’s also a good time to flush out the brake fluid as well!
  • 30,000 miles – At 30,000 miles, the 10k mile service steps need repeating, and you’ll also need your spark plugs replaced with the Turbo and Turbo S models.

Full-Service Repair From Experts Who Know Your Porsche Model

You definitely don’t want just anyone poking around your Porsche. These are performance-driven pieces of art, after all, and at The German Auto Doctor you’ll get technicians with extensive experience with your particular model for any repairs that you might need.

Below you’ll find a few examples of common Porsche repairs that perform all the time at The German Auto Doctor:

  • Rear main seal oil leaks – One issue that we see a lot is an oil leak from a rear main seal that needs replacing. This seal is situated between your engine and transmission and its function is keeping oil from getting into your engine. These seals get worn out over time, especially with hard use, and they take a bit of expertise to properly replace. While a seal replacement sounds straightforward, it definitely isn’t with a Porsche, but we have the experience to do it right and get you back on the road with a quickness.
  • Coolant leaks – Porsche radiators, especially in popular models like the 911, sit very low to the ground. This makes them vulnerable to debris as you fly over it at fantastic speeds and eventually, that high-speed abrasion takes its toll and you get a coolant leak. Tracking this kind of leak requires removing the front bumper and then tracking down the telltale stains – Tricky for most folks, but we do this sort of thing every day at The German Auto Doctor!
  • Air Oil Separator issues – An important part of your Porsche’s emission system, the Air Oil Separator pulls oil out of crankcase gases, and it’s a critical part of your Porsche. When there’s an issue, you might see a check engine light, smoke, or oil leaks initially but it can quickly get a whole lot worse! AOS issues are fairly common with Porsches, but we know all about them, and also how to help prevent them. It’s what we do, after all!

The German Auto Doctor Porsche FAQ

How often does a Porsche need servicing?

While some folks will tell you that every Porsche just needs a check every 20,000 miles, you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you did that. The truth is that the amount of preventative maintenance you need is model specific.

Each model has its own perks and potential pitfalls, and that’s why going with a specialist shop like The German Auto Doctor is your bet for protecting your investment and maximizing your mileage. These are special vehicles and they need special care – it’s as simple as that!

Is Porsche good for long distance driving?

While you might think that these beautiful speedsters are just good for short, swift trips, they’re actually even better for long distance driving. Take a road trip some time and cover a good bit of distance and you can see for yourself – the comfort, handling, and of course, the speed, are guaranteed to turn your road trip into an unforgettable experience!
