Peter Smith!! I know someone famous now! Coming from Porsche dealership career to taking over an independent shop. I should’ve did the indie first. Love this episode, just missing Candy bacon.

A lot of great info Vu and Manny from your guest. Appreciate it. It completely outlines the need for Indy shops. I always intended to go true Porsche, but since the PDK fiasco, I dropped Mechanicsburg Porsche - mostly because of the douche in sales and the GM who offered me 1 grand for my car. Since has been fixed with an Indy and I’ll never respect the dealer again. Clueless group of people following the Sales script. (Turn to page 23, recite this). Great cars, seriously lacking in support for owners.

It's for reasons like Peter describes that I ordered only the options I thought we really needed on our 992, and didn't order rear axle steering, front axle lift, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, sunroof, PASM, PDCC active sway bars, etc. All more stuff to break or cause maintenance headaches down the road.

Hill holder works if (1) More than 5% grade; (2) foot firmly on brake, (3) car in gear and (4) clutch pushed in. Standard feature on MT 992. Also, the car will re-start itself if you stall the engine, and push the clutch in within three seconds.

Are dealers still good to go to if you have an older gen car? Are techs trained on only the latest cars with all the tech or can they also handle a clutch change or other maintenance on say a 993 or 997? I usually prefer taking my car to a dealer cause they provide loaners but not sure there’s any expertise in the older cars now. When I picked up my 997 from service last time at the dealer, they had to have a girl who normally didn’t drive your car up to you help me get my car cause no one else there knew how to drive stick!

I've taken my Porsches to two different independent shops and I like speaking directly to the mechanic instead of a service advisor. I feel I'm playing the "phone game" hearing it second hand from an advisor. Especially better if the owner knows a little more about cars than where the fuel goes.

I have been a VW/Audi and limited Porsche tech for 47+ years and most service advisors get it all wrong, really like talking to customer as I know what to ask as well.

Service advisors are there to sell services on the behalf of the dealer and driving up the revenue for the service department one way or the others. Often than not they have no interest in helping the customers nor the techs.

Interesting. Would be nice to hear Peter talk about maintenance on older classic cars like transaxle Porsches. Seems like a whole different world

Oh I remember him from tech tactics live Panamera episode, that was a good one. This was enjoyable too but man another podcast in a row where my poor Panamera doesn't look good. Well at least his shop will still service them where as the previous guest refuses.

That's why I prefer a 40 year old Porsche instead of a new one. Problems are easy to solve, no computer programs needed.

I'd like to see confessions of a Porsche service advisor, so they'd explain why communication between them and the customer can be so bad.

Makes one wonder, are cars better today? Or have they gotten WAY too complicated? I'd take the simpler cars from 30 years ago, given a choice.

I jest, I haven’t sold a Porsche since the 997…I slid into fire academy back in 2015. 😉 I worked @ Jack Daniel’s Porsche in Jersey when they were on rt.4.

My 2018 Boxster S has that Hold feature. My '17 Golf R has the button to active that feature. Like the double tap better. Agreed, read in the owners manual, Porsche recommends replace your tires after 6 years old. Mine were already 7 years from factory when I bought it. Lots of tread but zero grip. Put the new NO rated Spec PS4S tires, wow night and day. Don't run old tires on these cars.
