Buyer Beware -- My Experience with HCC Specialty Cars In December 2024, I agreed to buy a 1986 Porsche 930 from HCC Specialty Cars. I flew down on December 8th to inspect the car. When I arrived, I was told they had just pulled it out -- but the engine was already warm, which seemed odd. We went for a drive, and I was told the car had been serviced and came with a binder showing about $140,000 in documented work over its lifetime. During the test drive, I noticed a few small issues. I asked for them to be fixed before delivery, and they assured me they would take care of everything. None of those things were addressed. Later, Patrick (the owner) told me he was disappointed in his team and said he had personally inspected the car though what that inspection involved is still unclear. One thing that blows me away is him saying that he had the car serviced and the oil filter was 12 years old when we got it serviced. 12 years old! The car was delivered to me on December 23rd. The delivery company had trouble getting it started. A few days later, I let HCC know the car wasn't running right. the battery kept dying, and the idle would fluctuate so badly at night that the car nearly stalled. I brought it to Patrick Motorsports, one of the most respected Porsche shops in the country. They replaced the battery and advised me to drive it briefly, but more issues came up almost immediately. The car felt unreliable, and I was constantly worried it would break down. I contacted Patrick again, and we both agreed it needed a full evaluation and repair. I did end up spending over $70,000 to make this car right. I did not expect Patrick to reimburse me this amount but I did expect him to make it right. He never did nor has he attempted to. As the list of issues grew, Patrick started becoming harder to reach. He told me he was overwhelmed and dealing with a lot of other cars. I encouraged him multiple times to speak directly with Kyle at Patrick Motorsports, who could explain exactly what they found. Patrick made one call to Kyle, but never returned any of the three calls Kyle made back to him. Once I mentioned I was planning to go public with my complaints, Patrick said he might offer some kind of financial concession. Then he told me he should perhaps just save it for legal fees. At the end of the day, this comes down to character. Patrick talks a good game, seems sincere, and has a great story but in my experience, he didn't follow through on anything that mattered. He didn't stand behind the car, didn't communicate honestly, and didn't make things right. If you're thinking about buying from HCC Specialty Cars, don't take anyone's word for it. get the car independently inspected before you commit. I didn't, and it cost me. read more

Normally I buy my cars direct from the manufacturer's dealership. Nearly all cars that I've ever purchased are brand-new. However now that we have been in the era of turbocharging and electrification of nearly all engines, I have been on the hunt for securing iconic, naturally aspirated greats that will never be made again. Given this goal, finding peak NA Porsches has been a challenge. I have had great luck with purchasing Porsche CPOs but finding my final dream NA bucket list car proved difficult. I therefore decided to expand my search to boutique, exotic dealerships. This is when we came across HCC Specialty Cars in Dallas. Since my better half and I both needed to agree on this final dream car we were looking to share, HCC had one that we were able to compromise on and agree on. The dealer's owner Patrick was highly responsive to all our various questions. Since we weren't prepared to fly out to Texas, we were essentially relying completely on photos, videos, CarFax and the word of Patrick. Since he was a real straight shooter, we felt satisfied with the car and decided to move forward. We put in an offer that was accepted. After that, Patrick assisted with getting some additonal work done on the car before assisting with making arrangements to ship the car out from TX. After the car shipping company delivered the car, there were some unexpected hiccups with the car. Thankfully nothing mechanical...just annoying items that pestered the perfectionist sides of my wife and I. We immediately reached out to Patrick and he did do his best to try to problem solve and work through the issues. In the end, I did have to also enlist the help of my trusty Porsche contact at my local dealership. Long story short, everything all worked out in the end which is what ultimately matters. Overall, given the selection of great NA classics in HCC's inventory and what a professional, standup guy the owner Patrick is, HCC is highly recommended as far as boutique dealerships go! read more

DO NOT buy a car from this dealerI bought a car form HCC speacilty cars and had it shipped to my car collector as I was assured the care was great and everything was working. I sued there recommended shipper to assure everything went smoothly. The car showed up with magor electrical issues that I contacted the dealer about. They said the car was fine when it left. The car wont run! I told them the obvious reasons this was not true and the car had thousands possibly tens of thousands of dollars of repair work before it was driveable. They didn't care they said the car was fine when it left. This is a lie and they refuse to pay or refund any moneys toward the required repairs as the car will not run. DO NOT buy a car from this dealer. read more

I've stopped by HCC many times now, and it's always a great experience. The cars are genuinely interesting, and the people there clearly care about what they do. Patrick in particular is super knowledgeable (especially with 993s) and very easy to talk to. No pressure, just someone who knows his stuff and shares your enthusiasm. I've also been to a couple of their car shows, and they're some of the best I've seen in Dallas. Whether you're looking for something specific or just passionate about cars and want to hang out, it's a great spot. 10/10 recommend. read more

I've purchased three cars in the past four years from HCC, from a 1984 Carrera cabriolet to a 2018 911S and couldn't be more pleased with each purchase in addition to the follow up service Patrick and his team provided. I've found they go above what a typical dealer would do in terms of satisfying the customer-not just for me but others I have referred to them. read more

HCC Specialty Cars - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

HCC is an excellent dealer, they primarily focus on high end pre-owned sports cars, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren and others. I've purchased two Porsches from HCC, a '73 911T and a '90 911 Carrera 4. They are friendly and transparent about the history and things that need attention on a car, they take the time and patience to fix or resolve issues they can before the sale. If you take the time to do the research on vehicles your buying and are aware of issues that you need to be aware of on older sports cars, HCC will not do you wrong, they can advise you on what to look for and stay away from when looking at high-end cars with 60k-100k miles. read more
