Excellent service and prices. Best Porsche repair in LA

by Herbster4

They are professional and very helpful. I am very careful who works on my Porsche 996 and Cayenne and like to see the work and parts, etc. Frank has worked there for many years and has the experience and love for the cars. Adam is also very knowledgable and friendly. Prices are more than fair and service A+.

A good choice!

by The Gnohm

I don't know a lot about cars which is why this place is great for me. I don't feel intimidated and they make sure to explain everything to me in a way that I can understand. They are very prompt and professional. The facility and waiting area are clean and organized. They are very nice and personable. I am so happy I found this place because I have a reliable place to go when I have problems with my car or just need general upkeep and maintenance.

One word... Awesome!!

by porscheman08

After bringing my Porsche Turbo to the dealer and then anouther shop and getting conflicting stories and being charged a grip of money not to have anything fixed I found German Independent, thank god! They where by far the most polite, pleasent, honest shop I have ever dealt with. Not only did they figure out what was really wrong with my car and fixed it the right way. They are also able to do some of the upgrades I have wanted to have done but never found a place a felt confortable doing it. AMber the owner and her staff are awesome. Thanks !!!
