What His Clients Think
It's important to Joe to know that he's meeting his client's expectations. Here are some words that were publicly said about his work:
"Great service, very accommodating. Could not believe the lengths he goes to to make sure you are happy. Incredible knowledge of race cars. Great guy."
-G.M.
"BEST PURCHASE INFORMATION EVER: I'm helping a friend with a purchase of a used 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo. I called around and found that there are few people in Austin that can service a Lamborghini. If he buys the Gallardo he would have to take it to Houston or Dallas for cert. service. I contacted the 2 service locations in Austin (Joe was the only one to get back with me) and he went out of his way to describe in detail what to look out for in the purchase of this expensive car. He broke it down into 5 bullet points. These are questions I would have never thought to have asked. I will make sure that this car gets its services done at this establishment. Thank you Joe Leggs for all you did."

"I found my 911 GT3 remotely via the internet and wanted to move forward with the purchase but could not make a trip out to see it. Not familiar with the area I made a call to the local Porsche dealer to schedule a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) but they were 2 weeks out for any service. I then found Joe via a popular Porsche forum and made the call. He told me what their PPI entailed and I agreed. I was expecting a typical dealer PPI that follows a pre-formatted list of items to be "checked off". What I received was a comprehensive, above and beyond expectations review of my car (not to mention he got it done on a Saturday)! It included a walk-around video, a DME computer interrogation, 90 photos (inside, out and underneath), a test drive and a vehicle summary report where they basically tell you what it may need replaced and if they recommend purchasing the vehicle. Joe was easy to get on the phone and returned my calls even after-hours!
So I bought the car sight-unseen (but now felt comfortable with what I was buying) and had the car shipped to me in Atlanta. Everything was as described and I couldn't be happier with the car. Thanks Joe for your hard work and making the customer very pleased."
-A.K., Porsche 996 GT3
"Amazing job. He treated my Lamborghini with white gloves and got her through an emissions inspection after fixing a pesky Check Engine Light. Reasonably priced and stayed in constant contact. Thank you so much!"
-M.K., 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago
"This guy is top-notch. He is not only a great mechanic but is also an infectious auto enthusiast. He was reasonably priced and he is never too busy to explain ALL of your options. I wouldn't take my 2009 Porsche 911 to anyone else."
-J.B., 2009 997 Carrera S
"Was impressed the moment I walked in and met Joe. He kept a clean shop, offered professional service and an environment that relays a first class experience. We have four cars - Land Rover, Porsche, Audi and a Mercedes - all of which were serviced by him over time.
Most recently, we had a FVD exhaust system installed on the 911 - Joe knew exactly what to order when I relayed to him what I wanted to do. He recommended the FVD bypass, and when I told him I was also thinking of installing exhaust tips as well, he'd surprised me by ordering what he thought would work, showed them to me with no obligation and I purchased them - they were exactly what I was looking for.
This guy is a professional. Feels like a speed shop / performance shop without the hype or steroids! Definitely recommend Joe..."
-M.J., 2009 Carrera S
"This guy knows what he's doing and his customer service goes above and beyond. He took care of my Cayman S like it was his own. I trust him completely with his suggestions and services and you should too. I'm so happy to have found Joe and he has my business for life."
-K.C., 2007 Cayman S
"Joe is worthy of a 5-star rating! I had just moved to the area when the dreaded 'check engine' light came on on my Cayenne S. Being new to the area I was just going to take it in to the dealer, however I decided to check online and found Joe and decided to give him a chance. I was able to get an appointment the same day, and the car was ready when he said it would be. Being that I am not a car person, I appreciated the fact he emailed pictures and spoke in layman's terms detailing what was wrong and what was needed to fix it. Since the check engine light issue, I have also taken the car in for new tires. I can't recommend Joe enough! He is very professional and honest and runs a clean shop!"
-K.O., 2009 Cayenne S
I've taken quite a few of my cars over to Joe over the past year and have had nothing but overwhelmingly positive experiences! I don't often write testimonial letters, but in the rare instance that you find a company this good....you have to share! Joe and the crew have tackled everything from simple maintenance work to difficult troubleshooting missions. They have shown a very high level of technical knowledge while working on rare, limited production run vehicles from my collection. Please do yourself a huge favor and engage them...YOU WILL BE ANGRY THEY HAVEN'T BEEN IN BUSINESS HERE LONGER!"
-F. K., Porsche Carrera GT, GT2RS, '73 Carrera RS, 993 Turbo S, 959 and much more
"His expertise in both repairing my car and helping me to improve its performance has been second to none. From a performance perspective his knowledge about what works and what doesn’t will guide you in the right direction. If something goes wrong, Joe's wealth of experience and phenomenal expertise in Porsche will get you back on the road or track - quick. "
-R.S., Porsche 996 C4S, Porsche Cayenne Turbo
“The check engine light in our Porsche came on right before we needed the car for the holidays. After reading terrible reviews for the Porsche dealership in town, my husband and I decided to call Joe. We got a same-day appointment and he was able to diagnose the issue immediately. He was even nice enough to fix it right then since he had a replacement part in stock and we had made a long trip from far away in the rain. The car was ready in an hour and we were just amazed and appreciative that it was fixed so quickly...and for a reasonable price. What great customer service! We are so thankful to have found Joe and his team! Saved. Thanks!”
- C.T., 2004 Cayenne S
"I had an extremely positive experience with this guy. Joe was very professional and very thorough and ran numerous tests to accurately diagnose the issue my 2000 BMW was having. I was very pleased with the work. Joe is extremely friendly and knowledgeable about cars. Next time something comes up, I'll definitely take my car there again. The workshop is also really nice. There was a beautiful orange vintage BMW from 1974 in the shop - it felt a bit like a museum in there. He obviously has a very discerning clientele."
-C.L., 2004 BMW 330i
"I had Joe install a new catback exhaust on my 911S. I had narrowed down to an FVD exhaust that they resell. Joe was very straight forward with his opinion about various options and recommended the unit I had picked. He showed me around his shop and talked about his business philosophy. When I got back to my office from visiting him I had a quote in my inbox and scheduled the install. Everything turned out perfect. The installation was very clean and it does sound great just like I was promised. Pricing and timing on the install was also just as discussed. It's not easy to find good mechanics but this guy is the best."
-U.H., 2009 997 Carrera S
"I've had 4 different cars that I've taken to Joe over the past 7 years. I've never been disappointed with the level of service and value this guy provides me. My first Audi was an 02 A4 Avant and ran with not a single issue by following the recommended maintenance Joe suggested. My 04 TT has 100k miles on it and drives just as great as when it had 40k miles. If you ever get a chance to see Joe work on a car, you'll be floored by his attention to detail, his extremely organized nature and his infinite knowledge of the mechanics and electronics of modern day cars. Thanks for taking care of my rides Joe!"
-A.T., Audi A4, Audi TT, Jeep Hemi
"After I bought my Audi I heard about how hard it might be to find a good quality shop to work on an Audi. After being turned off from dealerships and lube centers someone highly recommended me to Joe. After calling to schedule an appointment he got me in that day just so they could put my mind at ease and I scheduled a follow up the next week. Joe is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about cars. It was a really pleasant experience. He truly cares and I feel that's rare with mechanics and shops nowadays. I'm not much of a car guy but he explained very succinctly everything so that I knew what issues might arise in the future!! I will only use this guy from now on in my car repair needs!!!!"
-J.W., Audi A6
"I have had the many cars in my life from brand new luxury sedans, 4x4’s and exotic sports cars. When spending over $100,000 on a car you would think the dealership would take care of mechanical issues and service their good customers. In the search for a quality mechanic, after striking out with a few I meet Joe around 2006. He was the Master Tech at Lamborghini of Portland. He serviced all my cars from there on out. Explained things to me that I could understand and never did unnecessary work to charge me more. I was very sad to see him leave Oregon but happy for him to pursue new opportunities. If I ever breakdown or need work Joe Leggs is on my speed dial!"
-M.M., Ferrari 348, 360, 430; Lamborghini Superleggera, Murcielago; Bentley Continental GT; Range Rover
"Every time I've taken my cars to Joe I know it's in good hands. He's very meticulous and you'll see first hand what quality service means to them."
-W. Mak. Ferrari 360, 430; Lamborghini Superleggera
"I found Joe when I was in need of a good mechanic. I had already spent hundreds of dollars at other repair shops that left my problem unsolved. I appreciate their honesty, integrity and most importantly their pride- and the fact that they always went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I only wish I found them sooner. If your looking for an honest, reliable and accommodating shop, look no further."
-B.C., Volvo S80 T6R
" When I lived in California Joe took care of my 944Spec race car. I was always the envy of the paddock because I never had to work on my car between run sessions while my buddies were always wrenching on theirs. If I were still in San Diego I would take my current BoxsterSpec racecar or my 911 straight to Joe!"
-M.F., 2010 987 Boxster S, 2001 Boxster Spec Racer, 2007 Cayman Racer
"As many of us know high priced doesn’t equal maintenance free. When I purchased my Range Rover it didn’t lack repair, and so I needed a mechanic that I could trust and that could finish the work quickly. Joe was always quick to respond…more than once going out of his way to go to my house to identify the problem and quickly solving the problem. He takes a lot of pride in his work and he enjoys what he does…his service is excellent and his ability to explain things in a language you can understand is appreciated."
-J.H., 2004 Range Rover
"“ I first met Joe 10 years ago, when I connected with him to tune my C4. Over the years Joe has been the go to guy for all my work. I have referred many friends and colleagues to Joe as well; he is a guy you can tell what you need, turn over your keys and pick your car up knowing the quality of work is performed at the highest level. One time, Joe even loaned me his own personal car for several days, so I didn’t have to go out and get a rental. I am happy to say that Joe Leggs has not only been my mechanic of choice, but a great personal friend for life!"
-C. B., 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe and I worked alongside one another in a larger Porsche dealership. I found Joe to have a thorough grasp on automotive theory, and to be willing to go the extra mile to do not just what is needed, but to do the job as though the vehicle was his own. I am confident that Joe will provide the level of service, and attention to detail, that you would demand for your vehicle."
-G.J., Porsche Master Technician
"As both a customer and employee, I have been extremely satisfied with the professional, attentive and personalized service I have both received and witnessed. When it comes to know-how, technical proficiency and overall customer service I would say Joe is the best. My only complaint is that Joe moved to Texas- A very sad day for both me and my cars. I am having a very hard time finding another mechanic. Joe is definitely 1 in a million."
-B.R., Multiple VW, Audi and BMW Owner
"Joe is an outstanding mechanic! Not only is he brilliant at what he does, he is fair, professional, and always exceeds my expectations. His skill and diversity are second to none, he has never missed a deadline, he stands behind his work, but most of all he's honest. I would not hesitate to use his services for any job, big or small.
-R. N., 2008 BMW M5, 2004 Hummer H2
"Joe, I appreciate your commitment in taking the time necessary to do the job the correct way vs rushing just to get it done. You’re a true specialist with the European marques. Thanks for your meticulousness."
-J. W., Former Employer
"I found Joe's shop on Yelp after looking for an alternative to the dealership for maintenance on my Porsche. My last run in with the local dealership left me upset with the lack of care both up front when they were taking the service request, the time they took to complete the small job and the fact that vehicle was returned with grease smeared all over the bumper. They actually care about your vehicle regardless of the service being performed. They put a complete cover over the drivers seat when taking the vehicle for an oil change. Joe runs a great shop and offer competitive pricing on quality jobs for high end vehicles. Anyone with a Porsche should visit this shop!"
-S.M., 2009 Porsche 997 C4S
"I've worked in the industry with Joe for many years. He's been a great mentor and colleague, I've never hesitated to ask him a tech question or opinion. He has always taken the time to be helpful and provide knowledge. Over the years I've referred clients to him for service and repair needs. The feedback has always been positive and I will continue to recommend people to Joe."
-J.H., Colleague
"Joe is an amazing technician. He has a great attention to detail, and always goes the extra mile!"
-M. Crandall, Owner of Speed Sports and SCCA GT2, CSR and Trans Am Champion
"I have referred customers to Joe because I trust they will be taken care of. One customer has already thanked me saying that he again found a place of business that he can trust."
- Anonymous
"Joe is extremely qualified and talented. He will always take it to the next level to make his customers happy. He sees his customers as friends, this makes all the difference in the world."
-R.B., Founder and CEO, Boreham Motorsports
"Words can not begin to express how happy I am with Joe's work. After a run of bad luck with another shop I called Joe for some help. From the moment I stepped into the shop, I knew I was in the right place. What a fantastic facility. Spotless, well maintained and uncluttered. During the process, Joe communicated well with me, regularly sent photos of the progress and parts comparisons and had spot on recommendations that were focused on bringing my R32 to the performance level I expect. You will not go wrong with this shop, they are top notch, the best of the best."
-J. B., 2004 Volkswagen R32, 2012 Cadillac Escalade
"By far the most impressive shop I've been to in a long time. From the knowledge to the customer service to downright good people, Joe understands what it takes to run a quality shop that an Audi or a Porsche deserve. His philosophy of working on cars like it's their own resonated throughout the entire time my Audi A5 was in their hands."
-A.N., 2010 Audi A5
"I have found my new Porsche 911 mechanic! I was having a strange electrical issue where my battery would slowly die about every four weeks and my car wouldn't start without a jump. Two other Porsche mechanics couldn't figure it out. Joe knew what it was immediately over the phone before even seeing my car. He fixed it in one day, came in under his estimate, and even washed my car. Perfect! Overall, a very clean, bright shop with nice, easy-going people who really know their stuff from years of experience working on the world's top cars. We all are better off having them here!
-R. A., 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera S
"Friendly, knowledgeable and honest guy. If you have a BMW in need of a service or repair, Joe's a great choice."
-R.M., 2004 BMW 530i
"Joe exemplifies a level of trust and customer service that is all but non-existent these days. His attention to detail, pedigree, communication skills, and desire to exceed expectations makes me feel privileged to have them working on my car. He diagnosed my problem in minutes, had the part in the next morning, and knocked out my repair in the time frame they said they would. True master of his craft!"
-J.C.
"I can't say enough good things about Joe. I've been searching for a non-dealership shop that I feel comfortable enough with to work on my Porsche Cayman S. I was lucky enough to find Joe and now my search is over. Not only is he a great guy, but he definitely know his way around a Porsche. I took my Cayman to him for a major scheduled maintenance and he walked me through the service and explained every step along the way (they even let me take a peek inside the hidden engine compartment). I will definitely return to Joe for any future service needs."
-C.E., 2008 Porsche Cayman S
"2 weeks ago I saw "James Bond" smoke shooting out of the exhaust of my Porsche 911. I thought for sure my engine was blown. I called Joe and he helped get my vehicle towed in and fixed within 24 hours. After the repair was complete Joe took the time to do a full mechanical walk around of my vehicle and explain the repairs and all recommendations for future maintenance. These guys are knowledgeable and are able to communicate their understanding to novices like me. I have owned many vehicles and worked with many different shops throughout the years and this is the first time I can say that these guys have earned my business for life. Joe and his crew are the type of people you trust with a prized possession, because they give you the sense that they will treat your vehicle like it was their own."
-J.V., 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe, and crew are great. If you have a Porsche or anything else! Seriously...when have you last felt honestly treated, respected, and left feeling good from a car repair shop? I give Joe the best nod in Austin. Knowledge, ability, respect, and standing behind their work. Get yourself a new personal mechanic today!"
-R. Millard, 2000 Porsche Boxster
"This place is truly a cut above. As clean as a surgical suite, your 575 Maranello or VW GTI will feel like it's getting the royal treatment. My Macan had it's brakes done in the midst some seriously sweet rides. The staff is very professional and prices are quite good. I'll be bringing my cars here from now on."
-L.Felix, 2015 Macan S
"The service experience working with them was great. Joe was very helpful recommending the service at 57k. The Mini is running like a champ. The shop is nice and it has a good location too. To all the Porsche owners out there: I highly recommend this shop in Austin."
-M.Guerra, 2009 Porsche Cayman S
"These guys are great. I took in my Porsche 997.1 Turbo to get my after market exhaust installed. The shop is clean, organized and professional. The guys are great, I spent a lot of time talking to Joe and he's genuinely a good guy that I feel like I can trust to not to price gouge me. I feel the cost was very reasonable and the job came in at what I was quoted and it was done when they said it would be. When I picked it up it was as clean as when I took it in, actually cleaner. One of my pet peeves is to pick up my car and have greasy hand prints all over, grease on the seats, etc. There was none of that here. I found my indy shop and am happy. I'll be going to them next time I need anything done."
-C.W., 2007 Porsche 997 Twin Turbo, Porsche 997 GT3 RS, Porsche 991 GT3
"Very helpful staff. They were able to find the overall best option for a repair on my Porsche 911 (996) at a good price point. They specialize in all high end sports cars but do more than just add additional horsepower, they can do all services on your Porsche or exotic from brakes to oil changes.
Judging by the cars in the shop, Lamborghini's to Ferrari's and everything in between, they have highly discerning clientele that trusts them to work on their cars."
-G.F., 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera
"These guys are great and I would recommend them to anyone. I probably emailed Joe 10 times with random questions before I even brought my car to him and he always responded right away. During the installation of my supercharger into my V8 S5 he recorded everything along the way and sent pics to me. Joe is a great mechanic with truly exceptional customer service. If you are looking to take your pride and joy car into someone you can trust to get the job done right and at a fair price there's no one better than him."
-C.D., 2010 Audi S5
"I can't recommend Joe enough! He is professional, knowledgeable and communicative. They also take the time to know their customers, while delivering quality service. As a busy personal assistant, its great to have a local shop I can trust for high end vehicles!"
-C.G., Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
"I can't begin to explain what a pleasure it was to do business with Joe! He performed an inspection on my Ferrari 430 and I can't begin to explain how polite and professional they are. They have a beautiful facility, their prices are fair and they really make it easy. I can't put my finger on it but they have a way of making you feel comfortable. Their passion for cars really shines through their positive attitude. I have complete trust in their abilities and from the looks of their website they work with some pretty amazing vehicles. I would highly recommend paying them a visit!"
-F.S., 2007 Ferrari F430
"Thank you guys for a pleasurable experience. The combination of knowledge and class is nearly impossible to find in one place. You nailed it Joe! I'll be seeing you guys again. Thanks for the help diagnosing my troubled Porsche Cayenne."
-S.C., Porsche 911 Porsche Cayenne
"It was clear from the beginning that Joe takes pride in their shop and the service they perform. The video included a quick virtual tour of their shop, which was extremely clean and included several very high - end exotics from a number of different makes. What really won me over was Joe's philosophy to "keep people out of a repair shop" by identifying any issues with the car and to "get it fixed the right way." Throughout the process, Joe was an effective communicator, emailing / calling me to review the report step by step, and to answer several follow up questions I had. If you're in need of an inspection or need a repair to your Porsche, I would highly recommend calling Joe."
-M.G, 2009 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S
"These guys are outstanding! The work done on my 911 was second to none, they have me as a customer for the long haul."
-R.G., 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe was great to work with. I am new to town and needed a shop where my wife could take her Boxster for routine service and maintenance. He invited me to the shop and showed me around, then discussed the car's needs. Our first service was front brakes and rotors. They pointed out a couple other things we might want done but no hard sell - just good advice and a fair price. We'll definitely be back."
-S.W., 2008 Porsche 987 Boxster S
"Could not be a more talented tech. Joe always does stellar work on my Audi and have kept me within reason on some repairs that I could have easily spent way more on. Very professional but they also understand the connection to success is not just good work, but great customer service and a well thought out shop/brand. I feel confident I am getting the very best work done there and I simply feel cool hanging out there! There is always somebody's fun toy in the shop for the true car fans to drool over and they love talking about each job like its their own car. Across the board, best car service experience I have ever had."
-J.B., 2002 Audi All-Road
"Joe and his crew are great. I've had some not-so-positive experiences with mechanics in the past, which has in-turn made me a bit of a mechanic pessimist (yeah, I know, I'm THAT customer), but my experience with Joe was flawless. He was responsive, respectful, honest, and truly talented. My one experience with him has created a customer for life (or at least as long as he's willing to put up with my car(s) haha). "

My 04 TT has 100k miles on it and drives just as great as when it had 40k miles. If you ever get a chance to see Joe work on a car, you'll be floored by his attention to detail, his extremely organized nature and his infinite knowledge of the mechanics and electronics of modern day cars. Thanks for taking care of my rides Joe!"
-A.T., Audi A4, Audi TT, Jeep Hemi
"After I bought my Audi I heard about how hard it might be to find a good quality shop to work on an Audi. After being turned off from dealerships and lube centers someone highly recommended me to Joe. After calling to schedule an appointment he got me in that day just so they could put my mind at ease and I scheduled a follow up the next week. Joe is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about cars. It was a really pleasant experience. He truly cares and I feel that's rare with mechanics and shops nowadays. I'm not much of a car guy but he explained very succinctly everything so that I knew what issues might arise in the future!! I will only use this guy from now on in my car repair needs!!!!"
-J.W., Audi A6
"I have had the many cars in my life from brand new luxury sedans, 4x4’s and exotic sports cars. When spending over $100,000 on a car you would think the dealership would take care of mechanical issues and service their good customers. In the search for a quality mechanic, after striking out with a few I meet Joe around 2006. He was the Master Tech at Lamborghini of Portland. He serviced all my cars from there on out. Explained things to me that I could understand and never did unnecessary work to charge me more. I was very sad to see him leave Oregon but happy for him to pursue new opportunities. If I ever breakdown or need work Joe Leggs is on my speed dial!"

"Every time I've taken my cars to Joe I know it's in good hands. He's very meticulous and you'll see first hand what quality service means to them."
-W. Mak. Ferrari 360, 430; Lamborghini Superleggera
"I found Joe when I was in need of a good mechanic. I had already spent hundreds of dollars at other repair shops that left my problem unsolved. I appreciate their honesty, integrity and most importantly their pride- and the fact that they always went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. I only wish I found them sooner. If your looking for an honest, reliable and accommodating shop, look no further."
-B.C., Volvo S80 T6R
" When I lived in California Joe took care of my 944Spec race car. I was always the envy of the paddock because I never had to work on my car between run sessions while my buddies were always wrenching on theirs. If I were still in San Diego I would take my current BoxsterSpec racecar or my 911 straight to Joe!"
-M.F., 2010 987 Boxster S, 2001 Boxster Spec Racer, 2007 Cayman Racer
"As many of us know high priced doesn’t equal maintenance free. When I purchased my Range Rover it didn’t lack repair, and so I needed a mechanic that I could trust and that could finish the work quickly. Joe was always quick to respond…more than once going out of his way to go to my house to identify the problem and quickly solving the problem. He takes a lot of pride in his work and he enjoys what he does…his service is excellent and his ability to explain things in a language you can understand is appreciated."
-J.H., 2004 Range Rover
"“ I first met Joe 10 years ago, when I connected with him to tune my C4. Over the years Joe has been the go to guy for all my work. I have referred many friends and colleagues to Joe as well; he is a guy you can tell what you need, turn over your keys and pick your car up knowing the quality of work is performed at the highest level. One time, Joe even loaned me his own personal car for several days, so I didn’t have to go out and get a rental. I am happy to say that Joe Leggs has not only been my mechanic of choice, but a great personal friend for life!"
-C. B., 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe and I worked alongside one another in a larger Porsche dealership. I found Joe to have a thorough grasp on automotive theory, and to be willing to go the extra mile to do not just what is needed, but to do the job as though the vehicle was his own. I am confident that Joe will provide the level of service, and attention to detail, that you would demand for your vehicle."
-G.J., Porsche Master Technician
"As both a customer and employee, I have been extremely satisfied with the professional, attentive and personalized service I have both received and witnessed. When it comes to know-how, technical proficiency and overall customer service I would say Joe is the best. My only complaint is that Joe moved to Texas- A very sad day for both me and my cars. I am having a very hard time finding another mechanic. Joe is definitely 1 in a million."
-B.R., Multiple VW, Audi and BMW Owner
"Joe is an outstanding mechanic! Not only is he brilliant at what he does, he is fair, professional, and always exceeds my expectations. His skill and diversity are second to none, he has never missed a deadline, he stands behind his work, but most of all he's honest. I would not hesitate to use his services for any job, big or small.
-R. N., 2008 BMW M5, 2004 Hummer H2
"Joe, I appreciate your commitment in taking the time necessary to do the job the correct way vs rushing just to get it done. You’re a true specialist with the European marques. Thanks for your meticulousness."
-J. W., Former Employer
"I found Joe's shop on Yelp after looking for an alternative to the dealership for maintenance on my Porsche. My last run in with the local dealership left me upset with the lack of care both up front when they were taking the service request, the time they took to complete the small job and the fact that vehicle was returned with grease smeared all over the bumper. They actually care about your vehicle regardless of the service being performed. They put a complete cover over the drivers seat when taking the vehicle for an oil change. Joe runs a great shop and offer competitive pricing on quality jobs for high end vehicles. Anyone with a Porsche should visit this shop!"
-S.M., 2009 Porsche 997 C4S
"I've worked in the industry with Joe for many years. He's been a great mentor and colleague, I've never hesitated to ask him a tech question or opinion. He has always taken the time to be helpful and provide knowledge. Over the years I've referred clients to him for service and repair needs. The feedback has always been positive and I will continue to recommend people to Joe."
-J.H., Colleague
"Joe is an amazing technician. He has a great attention to detail, and always goes the extra mile!"
-M. Crandall, Owner of Speed Sports and SCCA GT2, CSR and Trans Am Champion
"I have referred customers to Joe because I trust they will be taken care of. One customer has already thanked me saying that he again found a place of business that he can trust."

"Joe is extremely qualified and talented. He will always take it to the next level to make his customers happy. He sees his customers as friends, this makes all the difference in the world."
-R.B., Founder and CEO, Boreham Motorsports
"Words can not begin to express how happy I am with Joe's work. After a run of bad luck with another shop I called Joe for some help. From the moment I stepped into the shop, I knew I was in the right place. What a fantastic facility. Spotless, well maintained and uncluttered. During the process, Joe communicated well with me, regularly sent photos of the progress and parts comparisons and had spot on recommendations that were focused on bringing my R32 to the performance level I expect. You will not go wrong with this shop, they are top notch, the best of the best."
-J. B., 2004 Volkswagen R32, 2012 Cadillac Escalade
"By far the most impressive shop I've been to in a long time. From the knowledge to the customer service to downright good people, Joe understands what it takes to run a quality shop that an Audi or a Porsche deserve. His philosophy of working on cars like it's their own resonated throughout the entire time my Audi A5 was in their hands."
-A.N., 2010 Audi A5
"I have found my new Porsche 911 mechanic! I was having a strange electrical issue where my battery would slowly die about every four weeks and my car wouldn't start without a jump. Two other Porsche mechanics couldn't figure it out. Joe knew what it was immediately over the phone before even seeing my car. He fixed it in one day, came in under his estimate, and even washed my car. Perfect! Overall, a very clean, bright shop with nice, easy-going people who really know their stuff from years of experience working on the world's top cars. We all are better off having them here!
-R. A., 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera S
"Friendly, knowledgeable and honest guy. If you have a BMW in need of a service or repair, Joe's a great choice."
-R.M., 2004 BMW 530i
"Joe exemplifies a level of trust and customer service that is all but non-existent these days. His attention to detail, pedigree, communication skills, and desire to exceed expectations makes me feel privileged to have them working on my car. He diagnosed my problem in minutes, had the part in the next morning, and knocked out my repair in the time frame they said they would. True master of his craft!"
-J.C.
"I can't say enough good things about Joe. I've been searching for a non-dealership shop that I feel comfortable enough with to work on my Porsche Cayman S. I was lucky enough to find Joe and now my search is over. Not only is he a great guy, but he definitely know his way around a Porsche. I took my Cayman to him for a major scheduled maintenance and he walked me through the service and explained every step along the way (they even let me take a peek inside the hidden engine compartment). I will definitely return to Joe for any future service needs."
-C.E., 2008 Porsche Cayman S
"2 weeks ago I saw "James Bond" smoke shooting out of the exhaust of my Porsche 911. I thought for sure my engine was blown. I called Joe and he helped get my vehicle towed in and fixed within 24 hours. After the repair was complete Joe took the time to do a full mechanical walk around of my vehicle and explain the repairs and all recommendations for future maintenance. These guys are knowledgeable and are able to communicate their understanding to novices like me. I have owned many vehicles and worked with many different shops throughout the years and this is the first time I can say that these guys have earned my business for life. Joe and his crew are the type of people you trust with a prized possession, because they give you the sense that they will treat your vehicle like it was their own."
-J.V., 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe, and crew are great. If you have a Porsche or anything else! Seriously...when have you last felt honestly treated, respected, and left feeling good from a car repair shop? I give Joe the best nod in Austin. Knowledge, ability, respect, and standing behind their work. Get yourself a new personal mechanic today!"
-R. Millard, 2000 Porsche Boxster
"This place is truly a cut above. As clean as a surgical suite, your 575 Maranello or VW GTI will feel like it's getting the royal treatment. My Macan had it's brakes done in the midst some seriously sweet rides. The staff is very professional and prices are quite good. I'll be bringing my cars here from now on."
-L.Felix, 2015 Macan S
"The service experience working with them was great. Joe was very helpful recommending the service at 57k. The Mini is running like a champ. The shop is nice and it has a good location too. To all the Porsche owners out there: I highly recommend this shop in Austin."
-M.Guerra, 2009 Porsche Cayman S
"These guys are great. I took in my Porsche 997.1 Turbo to get my after market exhaust installed. The shop is clean, organized and professional. The guys are great, I spent a lot of time talking to Joe and he's genuinely a good guy that I feel like I can trust to not to price gouge me. I feel the cost was very reasonable and the job came in at what I was quoted and it was done when they said it would be. When I picked it up it was as clean as when I took it in, actually cleaner. One of my pet peeves is to pick up my car and have greasy hand prints all over, grease on the seats, etc. There was none of that here. I found my indy shop and am happy. I'll be going to them next time I need anything done."
-C.W., 2007 Porsche 997 Twin Turbo, Porsche 997 GT3 RS, Porsche 991 GT3
"Very helpful staff. They were able to find the overall best option for a repair on my Porsche 911 (996) at a good price point. They specialize in all high end sports cars but do more than just add additional horsepower, they can do all services on your Porsche or exotic from brakes to oil changes.
Judging by the cars in the shop, Lamborghini's to Ferrari's and everything in between, they have highly discerning clientele that trusts them to work on their cars."
-G.F., 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera
"These guys are great and I would recommend them to anyone. I probably emailed Joe 10 times with random questions before I even brought my car to him and he always responded right away. During the installation of my supercharger into my V8 S5 he recorded everything along the way and sent pics to me. Joe is a great mechanic with truly exceptional customer service. If you are looking to take your pride and joy car into someone you can trust to get the job done right and at a fair price there's no one better than him."
-C.D., 2010 Audi S5
"I can't recommend Joe enough! He is professional, knowledgeable and communicative. They also take the time to know their customers, while delivering quality service. As a busy personal assistant, its great to have a local shop I can trust for high end vehicles!"
-C.G., Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
"I can't begin to explain what a pleasure it was to do business with Joe! He performed an inspection on my Ferrari 430 and I can't begin to explain how polite and professional they are. They have a beautiful facility, their prices are fair and they really make it easy. I can't put my finger on it but they have a way of making you feel comfortable. Their passion for cars really shines through their positive attitude. I have complete trust in their abilities and from the looks of their website they work with some pretty amazing vehicles. I would highly recommend paying them a visit!"
-F.S., 2007 Ferrari F430
"Thank you guys for a pleasurable experience. The combination of knowledge and class is nearly impossible to find in one place. You nailed it Joe! I'll be seeing you guys again. Thanks for the help diagnosing my troubled Porsche Cayenne."
-S.C., Porsche 911 Porsche Cayenne
"It was clear from the beginning that Joe takes pride in their shop and the service they perform. The video included a quick virtual tour of their shop, which was extremely clean and included several very high - end exotics from a number of different makes. What really won me over was Joe's philosophy to "keep people out of a repair shop" by identifying any issues with the car and to "get it fixed the right way." Throughout the process, Joe was an effective communicator, emailing / calling me to review the report step by step, and to answer several follow up questions I had. If you're in need of an inspection or need a repair to your Porsche, I would highly recommend calling Joe."
-M.G, 2009 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S
"These guys are outstanding! The work done on my 911 was second to none, they have me as a customer for the long haul."
-R.G., 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera
"Joe was great to work with. I am new to town and needed a shop where my wife could take her Boxster for routine service and maintenance. He invited me to the shop and showed me around, then discussed the car's needs. Our first service was front brakes and rotors. They pointed out a couple other things we might want done but no hard sell - just good advice and a fair price. We'll definitely be back."
-S.W., 2008 Porsche 987 Boxster S
"Could not be a more talented tech. Joe always does stellar work on my Audi and have kept me within reason on some repairs that I could have easily spent way more on. Very professional but they also understand the connection to success is not just good work, but great customer service and a well thought out shop/brand. I feel confident I am getting the very best work done there and I simply feel cool hanging out there! There is always somebody's fun toy in the shop for the true car fans to drool over and they love talking about each job like its their own car. Across the board, best car service experience I have ever had."
-J.B., 2002 Audi All-Road
"Joe and his crew are great. I've had some not-so-positive experiences with mechanics in the past, which has in-turn made me a bit of a mechanic pessimist (yeah, I know, I'm THAT customer), but my experience with Joe was flawless. He was responsive, respectful, honest, and truly talented. My one experience with him has created a customer for life (or at least as long as he's willing to put up with my car(s) haha). "
