How booking works: booking online to find out what’s wrong is our $374 incl.

About the Panamera
The Porsche Panamera (970 & 971) is a precision-engineered sports car that rewards meticulous, on-time servicing with the correct oils and parts. Looked after properly it’s an exceptional car to own — and we keep it that way for far less than the dealer.
Porsches work hard; correct oil, cooling health and sensible intervals are what keep the Panamera strong.
Common Panamera problems
The areas we watch on the Panamera: cooling-system parts, air-suspension components, oil leaks, the PDK transmission service, and electronics on a complex performance car. Catching these early is far cheaper than ignoring them on a performance car.
We use dealer-level diagnostics, the correct Porsche-spec oils and quality parts, and give you honest, expert advice.
Servicing your Panamera for less
We service the Panamera to the Porsche schedule with fixed written pricing — typically well under dealer cost. Buying used? A pre-purchase inspection checks the Panamera-specific trouble spots (engine, cooling, transmission history) first.
