Our Porsche services today: logbook servicing, diagnostics and precision maintenance
We keep each car performing to factory intent with methodical checks and clear records. Our work protects authenticity, preserves service history and helps maintain resale value.
Logbook servicing to maintain factory performance and history
Logbook servicing follows correct specs and intervals. We change fluids, filters and parts to the manufacturer schedule and record every detail.
Advanced diagnostics including PDK transmission expertise
Our diagnostics cover complex systems such as PDK transmissions. We perform fault tracing, fluid analysis and calibrations to reduce future faults and protect warranty where applicable.
Air-cooled engine care with meticulous attention
Classic air-cooled engine work includes valve adjustments, leak-down testing and oil system checks. We use model-specific procedures so each engine gets the correct settings.
Preventative vs urgent: we prioritise planned maintenance and flag urgent repairs early.
Inspection points: brakes, suspension, cooling and electrical systems get focused checks.
Parts pathways: choose original spec or practical upgrades depending on your goals.
What we do | Benefit | |
Logbook servicing | Scheduled fluids, filters, record keeping | Factory performance; clear history |
Diagnostics | PDK fault tracing, calibration, fluid analysis | Long-term reliability; warranty support |
Classic engine care | Valve adjustment, leak-down, oil checks | Engine longevity; authentic operation |
Porsche service Adelaide: every model, every generation, every drive
Across decades and drivetrains, we apply proven processes so each model performs as intended.
We work across the full lineage—from classic air‑cooled 911s to GT‑series cars, Boxster, Cayman, Macan and beyond. Each vehicle gets the correct fluids, torque specs and calibration steps matched to its era and systems.
Daily drivers receive mileage‑led maintenance tuned for comfort and reliability. Garage‑kept collector cars get storage checks, provenance notes and careful parts selection to protect originality.
We handle normally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid‑adjacent powertrains. That means model‑specific diagnostic routines and tailored tuning for driving intent and performance goals.
Platform differences: mid‑engine Boxster/Cayman setups differ from rear‑engine 911 dynamics.
SUV care: family vehicles like the Macan get the same marque standards for safety and responsiveness.
Seasonal planning: tyre, brake and fluid checks before touring or spirited driving.
Car type | Focus | Deliverable |
Classic air‑cooled | Authenticity, valve and leak checks | Detailed records; correct specs |
Modern GT & sports | Electronic calibration, performance checks | Calibration reports; driving setup |
SUV & daily cars | Comfort, safety, long‑term reliability | Safety checks; ride tuning |
Collectors receive photo records and parts provenance notes to support value and traceability. We invite clients to tell us their favourite roads and routines so we can tailor recommendations around their driving style.
Genuine and OEM parts, transparent advice and independent flexibility
Our parts pathway balances authenticity, practicality and long‑term value for each car we touch. We combine 30+ years of marque experience with membership in the official network to guide every choice.
Using genuine and OEM components while protecting value and warranty
We explain the difference between genuine, genuine oem and other options so you can pick what suits your goals and budget.
Critical systems first: brakes, suspension, fluids and seals get priority and reputable parts to keep safety and feel consistent.
Transparent quoting: we itemise parts, labour and approvals so you know exactly what goes into the car and why.
Traceability: we record part numbers and lot details where relevant to protect history and resale value.
Correct fitment: torque checks and post‑fit inspections ensure each component performs at the intended level.
Independent choice: our flexibility means we recommend the optimal solution, not a one‑size‑fits‑all answer.
Component type | When we recommend it | Benefit to owner |
Genuine | Originality, warranty-sensitive repairs | Preserves history, ensures factory fit and warranty compliance |
Genuine OEM | Cost-effective replacement with equivalent specs | Reliable performance; value protection at lower cost |
Aftermarket (reputable) | Performance upgrades or where original parts unavailable | Improved function or cost savings with clear disclosure |
In short, our care combines clear advice with meticulous attention. That way your ownership remains smooth, traceable and true to intent.
Track-day setups and motorsport preparation backed by 30+ years’ experience
When you want lap‑time confidence and a comfortable drive home, preparation matters down to the last millimetre.
We combine three decades of hands‑on expertise to deliver track‑day setups and motorsport builds that work on circuit and street. Our approach starts with a clear baseline and ends with a tailored plan you can follow session by session.
Chassis alignment, corner weighting and suspension tuning for confidence on track
We set alignment to match your driving style, tyre choice and the circuits you run. Corner weighting follows so balance and predictability are consistent through each turn.
Spring rates, damper settings and anti‑roll bar adjustments are selected to improve turn‑in, mid‑corner feel and traction on exit.
Motorsport preparation: safety, reliability and performance for events
Brake preparation covers pads, fluid and cooling so fade is controlled across long sessions. We also fit harnesses, seats and fire systems that integrate cleanly with your interior and electronics.
Pre‑ and post‑track engine checks — fluids, leak‑down and data review — keep the power delivery reliable lap after lap.
Performance tuning and bespoke setup tailored to your model and goals
Whether a lightweight classic or modern GT‑series car, we tailor each setup to the model and your objectives.
We plan incremental upgrades so you feel each change, and we protect street ride and comfort if you want dual‑use. Clear notes and data let you evolve the setup over time.
Baseline: alignment, tyre choice, corner weights for predictability.
Suspension: spring and damper choices to balance turn‑in and stability.
Brakes & safety: matched pads, fluids, cooling and cleanly integrated safety gear.
Engine health: checks before and after track time to protect performance.
Focus | What we do | Benefit |
Chassis setup | Alignment, corner weighting, ride tuning | Predictable handling; improved lap times |
Brakes & safety | Pads, fluids, cooling, harnesses, fire systems | Consistent stopping; event compliance |
Engine & data | Fluid checks, leak‑down, telemetry review | Reliable power; informed adjustments |
Progression plan | Incremental upgrades and notes | Measureable gains; street comfort retained |
Our expertise makes sure the car works for you on track and keeps the ride enjoyable on the road. We deliver measurable performance gains without surprising trade‑offs.
