From the front of the house with Dominic to the back of the house with Patrick and crew, Dobson Stuttgart has kept my 993 in top shape. Besides general maintenance, I've had my ABS pump replaced, master cylinder and all new struts and shocks. Highly recommend. read more

My Porsche Cayenne was in desperate need of an oil change. The owner Dominic picked up my phone call right away and was able to accommodate my request by the next day despite being short staffed. When I came to pick up my vehicle, the technician Paul gave me an itemized receipt for everything that they fixed, and the total bill was reasonable. They also notified me that my brake pads had some wear and called out that in 2 mm the brake pad indicator light would go off, but they didn't pressure me to get it fixed that day. read more

Wrong diagnosis , then incorrect parts were installed which led to more incorrect diagnosis. I finally took the poor car out of there before they could really mess it up. Went to a good shop that removed the incorrect parts, fixed the other parts that they installed incorrectly diagnosed the original problem correctly to fix finally. What a bunch of hacks. read more

I recently purchased a Porsche and Dobson Stuttgart did the PPI. I was buying the car out of state. The service at the shop was fantastic! They did a very thorough inspection. It provided me with real peace of mind for my purchase. I could not recommend them enough! read more

Recently purchased my first 911 (997.2) in Feb'21 and wanted to find a reputable specialist shop, in the Seattle area, that I could trust and use for many years to come. My first experience was to install an aftermarket exhaust, and the team ensured that all my needs were met in a very prompt timeframe. I will be trusting Gerber Motorsport to fulfill all my future Porsche servicing needs! read more

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 to place" for my Porsche but I think it's best I look elsewhere too. read more

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. read more

Gerber is the only shop I allow to touch my 911 turbo. Jay the service manager is incredibly knowledgeable and awesome to work with, and Gerber rightfully has a reputation as the premier Seattle Porsche shop that won't blatantly rob you like the dealership. read more

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. read more

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 brief walk-through to show off the acquisition. It's not often one gets the chance to see a 1970s Ferrari 512M (the LeMans racer) in pieces mid-restoration or the chance to have an up-close look at Alain Proust's McLaren M29 from his rookie year. Still, this is definitely a shop full of true gearheads and I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you need a Porsche mechanic and you need the work done right the first time, this is the place to go. read more

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 appointment, I was shocked when he told me to bring it in that day. They contacted me later on to explain the issues and repairs to be performed. Damn these guys are good. I am impressed by their attention to detail. It's reassuring to know my wagon is being repaired by highly skilled and hardworking mechanics. The folks at Gerber took amazing care of my girl. Love it. This is my shop now. read more

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! read more

Dobson Stuttgart - Engine failure on I5. - Auto Repair Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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 impression. read more

Updated review: 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, what a sound! read more

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. read more

Mark is the man! His crew is Honest, Experienced and really take pride in their work. They work on Goodman Racing Vehicles. Need I say more on their expertise?!?! I'm sure they can handle my weekend Porsche. read more

Got my panamera 40k serviced through these guys. They did a great job within a reasonable price. Genuine manager, will be visiting them often now. read more

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. When the fascia of the cup holder came off and my wife couldn't open it up to put her coffee there Mark told her "Good. Drink your coffee at home or your office. Not in the car." He went on to explain the cost to repair the center consul from spilling liquids into it. I secretly cheered that he had the balls to say this, when all I could do was think it. In all seriousness, this is THE place to take your Euro sports car for service or race prep. They're extremely trustworthy, knowledgable, dependable and honest and I can't think of anything more important when it come to a mechanic. read more

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. read more

The Team at Gerber offer exceptional service and are extremely Porsche knowledgeable. I recently took my 996 for some preventative engine & trans maintenance and I was very happy with the work performed and overall value. Very nice people and James is great to work with. Highly recommended read more

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. read more

I use Gerber Motorsports for my Pre-Purchase inspections on all of my consignment Porsche's and they have always done a great job. They might sucker you into buying them coffee, but it's worth it. Highly recomended specialty Porsche repair. read more

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. read more

Gerber Motorsports is an excellent shop. They're the real deal. I used to have an aircooled Porsche, and Gerber was one of the few shops in town that I would allow to touch the car. I often use John Walker for service, but the fact is, he's a single man shop, and it tough to get inspections done over there. Gerber focus's on Porsche, but they service anything that goes fast! I've seen Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc in their shop. If you have a Porsche, add these guys to your 'short list' of shops that can work on the car. read more

The only place I would take my Porsche. I look to these guys for all my answers and trust Mark and team because they've earned it.

Great, local service and friendly atmosphere. I spoke with James yesterday about getting my coolant expansion tank replaced on my 2000 Boxster. He got me in today just in time for the July 4th weekend. Not only did he answer all my questions, billed me for what he quoted on the phone, he also spent time talking about preventative work to do in the future. These guys are great! Will definitely continue to get my Porsche serviced at Gerber's. Glynnis V. read more

They did the PPI on my car, I showed up unannounced, and they stayed late to do it. Good people.

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, but i'm happy to know a great shop to take care of my new pretty. :) read more

Gerber is an excellent shop for all things Porsche. (I've seen other European makes there as well) Charles D. is my main go-to guy; he's a star. First took my wife's Boxster there for annual maintenance items and have subsequently taken my other two P-cars there for grill screen installs, exhaust and other modifications and maintenance items. They even did a PPI on my behalf (which I arranged )so I could buy a lightly used GT3.with confidence. Helped with most all my subsequent mods I have done on that car as well. Highly recommend. read more

The folks at Gerber Motorsport are fantastic! The crew is always a pleasure to deal with, especially James. They are honest and dependable, and they very clearly care about customer satisfaction. I have zero stress when I leave my car with them. I know that the job is going to get done right and for a fair price. They have been my go-to shop for my car for years, and I HIGHLY recommend the same for anyone else with a Porsche that they care about. read more

Walter can be seen in a white lab coat, you can't get more German car expert than a white lab coat!

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 to contradict other data, and looked (very quickly) at the engine, then made an appointment to take it in and do more work on it 4 days later. I have worked on many cars but didn't touch this since I didn't want to screw around with an unfamiliar car. Since I had the weekend, I researched boost issues (which it clearly was) and decided to poke around for loose pipes. Didn't take a minute - the clip that holds one end of the MAF to Y pipe connection had not been tightened by the shop after changing the drive belt (this could not have happened any other way BTW, unless they left it loose and it backed out, but jubilee clips don't tend to do this) and boost pressure was escaping from the pipe - two minute job to tighten and everything was back to normal. The response after telling them what I found wasn't "Damn we're sorry - we have checklists in place so that doesn't happen but we'll talk to the mechanic and make sure he is aware", it was more of a "sorry about your car, glad you fixed it", which didn't really acknowledge the fact that now I am wondering what else didn't get done properly. Also, if this had been a brake job and the last step was forgotten then the result could have been more than just a frustrating loss of power. Anyway, one experience, but that's all I have to go on, and I'll be looking for another shop now (closer to my house, since I went out of my way to use this place based on the great reviews...) or I'll be doing the work myself. read more

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. read more

Excellent Porsche repair service. James treats us like family and our 911 Carrera is expertly repaired right the first time, every time. We trust them completely. read 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 I'd been told. James said they had just done this repair a few days ago and the part was on order as it's a common issue and they keep them in stock. I went by for them to look at it, and low and behold while I was there the part arrived. Two hours later all done! Price was actually a few dollars less than quoted, that's a welcome surprise!! = Happy customer. I highly recommend Gerber for all your Porsche needs. read more

Well, I had just purchased my 996 C4S and decided to get some preventative maintenance done on her since it is my dream car and I like everything to be well serviced. I called several shops and got the run around/different opinions and finally settled on Gerber Motorsport. James and Charles both took time to explain what to expect and a quick and easy breakdown of the costs. It was my first phone call with them that I knew they would be servicing my car from that point on. I dropped the car off after hours and used their key box. Next morning I called in to confirm everything was ok and reassured me work was already started. They had called to keep me updated and didn't try to up sell. They told me what needed to be done and what could wait. (Everything felt genuine, and their passion for Porsches shows) I don't know if they are the cheapest, or most expensive but what I do know is that I got honest, quick and reliable service on my car with no hassle or run around. PS. They will store your car in their shop at no charge for several days if need be while you arrange a ride to pick it up. I would recommend them to all my friends and family and love supporting a business with the same passion for cars I have. read more

Boxster.... Had normal oil service and transmission inspection (2nd gear pop out issue like everyone lol). Fair prices, work complete when promised and friendly people. Would recommend. Hope they hire another manual transmission doctor soon though read more
