    Due to my world-class laziness and nonexistent time constraints, I have to be really blown away to leave a review (or begged to), so you can rest assured this place is great. If you own a Porsche and are particular about who works on your car, you can stop looking. This place is flawless in every aspect I’ve encountered: Pricing is more than competitive; very easy to make an appt, punctual with pickup times, and honest to a fault. First time there I had an oil change and an aftermarket module installed for a price that was almost half of what I was quoted elsewhere. Yesterday I brought my car in because the skid plate on the bottom had come loose. When I came to pick up my car, I was told there was no charge for the work done bc it ‘only’ took 30 minutes to complete. Who does that? Just incredible customer service. I’ll never go anywhere else. Thanks, Chris.

    Can’t speak highly enough of Chris and the team at Independent Motorcars. I recently took a 15 year old Audi here for an inspection and was extremely pleased with the level of service, honesty and professionalism received.

    Never have I ever in the ownership of cars, have I taken my car in for repair, walked out being told "ma'am there's nothing wrong w your car, your electronics are off, your brake pads are fine, we fixed your tire pressure and your brake lamps that your car is telling you also need repair are fine. One part is out but it doesn't impact your car's brake lights from doing their job (the ones that need repair are for pretty lights) but if you want to change them, they're $440 but it's not worth spending your money on that. Here are your keys, you owe us nothing" Chris was amazing. They didn't even try to upsell me or change the pads anyway because how would I have known that in fact they were fine when car is telling me they need changing. I wish I could give these guys 10 stars - still feel like I was in the twilight zone being told this! Thank you Chris, I will tell everyone about you guys!

    Chris is the real deal. Super honest, tells you the truth on any car you are bringing in for a PPI. I brought in a 911 I was on the fence about getting, he called within an hour and told me it was a total no-go. Mad respect, this shop has earned my trust! 🫡
