Porsche Servicing Auckland

I've known Peter Booth since he appeared on the scene of Porsche Bridgestone Racing I was still participating in in the early nineties. 

Peter became quickly highly regarded though amongst fellow racers for his no-nonsense approach, commitment and excellent work.

In the process of a lifestyle change I ended up in the Bay of Islands and, thereby, far removed from PCNZ and racing activities. Of course I kept a Porsche but since this was a pre-impact bumper model I had no real difficulties for many years keeping it humming by myself.

Old car club contacts often keep on lingering and through those I was well aware the reputation and following Peter had built enabled him to establish his own company, motorscience, as an independent Porsche specialist.

On a few occasions over the years I needed some expert opinion on matters Porsche and was grateful for  Peter’s straight-forward advice.

In more recent times, however, I finally became a client proper: Venturing into 2nd hand more modern Porsche machinery soon resulted in the not entirely uncommon disintegration of an IMS bearing in full flight….

In true form Peter uncompromisingly spelled out the options which in this case led to the decision to completely disassemble the engine and appropriately rebuild it. I was impressed with the way the job went, that I was kept informed and given the chance to inspect all my engine bits spread out neatly over meters of workbench and shelving, that the essentials of the job were documented and stored on the computer with relevant images, that the total costs as well as repair time stayed within the estimates and, most importantly, with the way the rejuvenated engine thereafter attempted to make me forget the bill…

During this experience I gained the impression Peter and his team definitely have the contacts, facilities and know-how to successfully tackle the most complex tasks and take great pride in the standard of work they are able to deliver. Just what one would hope for in an independent Porsche specialist where lateral thinking and less factory constraints have the potential to provide greater satisfaction, particularly to the more track-oriented clientele.

I now make a point of always popping in briefly when in Auckland and if it is only to stay in touch. The lads are usually quite busy and don’t even drop the spanner but still happy to exchange a few words on the side. And then there is Maggie, of course, with her natural ability to make people feel welcome… and more often than not, she accentuates that with one of her mean coffees!
