Been using Gerber since 2009 for my Cayman mechanical work, oil changes, basic maintenance, etc... Always meticulous in figuring out what needs to be done (and what doesn't!) and then doing the job quickly and for a reasonable price. Change in management a couple of years ago (from Mr. Goodman to Dominic and Patrick Dobson) has been quite seamless with same high quality of service. Magnolia location is a bit out off the beaten path, but the workmanship and service are worth the trip.

I guess the 5 star ratings are for people that actually can get service here. My husband wanted to book an appointment for his Porsche to get some service done and to also talk about future work on his car. But, when he called the office the voice messaging system said they were with other customers and to leave a message or sms with his number. He left his number for an sms call back and still didn't hear back... as a last resort he went onto their website and filled out a form and still nothing. Obviously, new potential customers are not important. I also wanted to make this my "go

Amazing service, James was super friendly, and wanted to help me get as much stuff fixed as cheap as possible, he's not that rip-off kinda mechanic, I had a problem with my left turn mirror signal, the dealership asked for a ridiculous amount of money, they don't even try to fix it, but instead replacing the whole mirror, James offered to fix it for me for a fraction of that price. If you're looking for a mechanic that wants to really fix things, James is your man. He also replaced a light bulb for my car in a minute. It has been a while since I left a car repair shop with this good

We brought our Cayenne S here recently with a transmission problem. James and the team at Gerber did a great job putting it back on the road again at a very reasonable price. They are good, honest people who truly know the Porsche brand and I would recommend them to other owners. I have learned from experience that other shops in the area say "sure they can" work on this make and model but fall well short of the knowledge needed. I will definitely bring my car back here again for additional service.

Super solid porsche service for seattle area porschephiles. Seems like all the high rep shops are in bellevue, but Seattle needs more p-car indy shops like Gerber. If you are out of warranty and still using stealerships for porsche service, stop wasting your money and use this place! I've used Gerber very recently for my air cooled turbo and my 991 with complete satisfaction. Run by dobson motorsport nowadays. They are no worse in prices than comparable top tier porsche indys, and like those others no frills. I will continue to use them for repairs and maintenance.

One experience only, but had a large proactive service performed (over $2k) on new to me 911 turbo (nothing was wrong with the car - it ran great and had just had a PPI from another Porsche shop out of state). Communication was good and everyone seems honest. Car was ready after 2 days and after I picked it up it up seemed fine but was in traffic whole way home so no chance to open it up. Drove the next day and there was a very pronounced hesitation on WOT when it hit the turbos. Called them up, brought it back (taking about 3 hours out of my work day) and James found some fault codes that seemed

Another perfect review for gerber! i went to this place with my brand-new-used porsche a day after purchase, mostly because the other yelp reviews were so positive. james was completely wonderful. he even took the time to help me figure out some of the buttons, as this is my first porsche. :)
they did a full inspection, found a few things to fix (two of which were covered by the dealership), & even gave me all the change they found under the seats, haha.
honest employees, quality work, convenient location - hopefully i'll only have to see james for regular maintenance and nothing more

I recently moved up here from Florida, and have now found my "go to" Porsche shop! The ignition lock went bad on my 03 Turbo, key wouldn't release from ignition. I called the shop I had been going to, as well as Porsche Bellvue, they both quoted me the same $1000.00 plus tax quote. This I thought was outrageous, after looking up the actual cost of the parts online, I was going to DIY it as I thought it would be within my skill level. Anyway, I saw the reviews for Gerber and I gave them a call. James told me to bring the car by and they'd take a look, his quote was half of what

These guys just saved me over 10K by fixing engine on my boxster s. Symptoms were: lots of smoke from exhaust, metallic noise in the engine. Previous shop said the engine has to be replaced. James & co tracked it down to aos and failing water pump.
Great communication throughout the entire process, fair pricing, very knowledgeable crew.
I've owned different cars and been to many shops. This shop is the best.

Friendly, transparent, knowledgable. Everything you'd expect from a small shop.
Granted the price isn't the best, but it's still better than going to a dealership, and some of the east side shops.
Also they got some track car knowledge and they are aware of some of the common Porsche problems. I'd recommend it to any Porsche owner in the region.

I've been bringing my 944 Turbo to Gerber since 2005 and I'm always impressed with their level of service and the quality of their work. It's not always easy troubleshooting things on a high-mileage 20+ year-old car but these guys always get it right. The shop atmosphere isn't quite the same since Mark Perkins, the old service manager, left, but the quality of the work is still exceptional.
The new service manager is knowledgeable and friendly, but I miss Mark's enthusiasm for whatever new car was in the Goodman Racing warehouse attached to the shop and the resulting

Returned here after a 7 year absence due to my dislike for the former service manager ,I am pleased to say the new guy James is friendly , personable and on top of his game when dealing with customers and and Porsches . It is also good to see that the staff techicians are all still there . I do still think their prices are a little high ,but they do good work and you can be confident that your repair and service will be done correctly.

These guys saved my bacon, fixed my car after getting towed all the way from Tacoma. Great communication from James all the way through the process. Hustled to get it fixed by the end of my conference here in Seattle so I could drive back to Portland. James even stayed late to meet me, after hours. A+ customer service, guys, thank you!

What? A German car with mechanical & electrical problems? Unimaginable you say, but it's true. My wagon was hit with multiple malfunctions so it was time to bring her in for repairs. I needed a service shop that would do more than a cursory evaluation and slapdash work because hey, I'm neurotic like that.
I walked into Gerber Motorsports and was immediately greeted by the service manager, a totally cool guy who could not have been more helpful. We went over the problems and any additional work I felt was necessary. Expecting it would be a while before the next available

I'm pretty sure Mark cares about my Porsche more than I do.
These guys are thorough and really know their stuff. We were referred here by other Porsche owners prior to buying ours and wouldn't think of taking it anywhere else for service, large or small.
If you didn't know, when a dealership sells a new Porsche they are supposed to stamp the owners manual. Well, ours wasn't stamped. I wouldn't have known about any of this is Mark hadn't relayed the story of tracking down the Florida dealer who originally sold our car and informing him of their breech of protocol

James the service advisor is fantastic, the shop still exceeds my expectations every time I have a service. Great people, fair prices, and the team does everything they can to have a great outcome. I really appreciate the service and advice.

Gerber is a great shop. Mark is very helpful with all service questions and the team knows their cars. There prices are fair and they care about their customer and their image. If your lucky when you go to the shop you may get to catch a glimpse of some of the Goodman vehicles. Last time I was there they were firing up the 289 Shelby

I have been taking my Porsche to Gerber Motorsport for a little over two years now. I try to perform most of my own maintenance, but when a task is a little too complicated for me, Mark and the crew are always ready and willing to get the job done right.
Furthermore, I cannot say enough about the impeccable customer service at Gerber. It is inevitable that some issues will arise when you are dealing with a high-mileage, 25 year-old sports car like mine. Gerber has always gone above and beyond my expectations to ensure that my car runs smoothly and safely.
