Great helpful shop. Honest with no BS. I was considering a PPI for local Porsche in the area. I went through their website and left a message Friday night for a tentative appointment for a Monday or Tuesday PPI. Allen, Roberts son call me on Saturday and spent a solid 20 minutes speaking with me about the car I was considering. He even asked his dad a few questions. They easily could have scheduled a PPI and charged me but they recommended to me over the phone to pass on the car that I was considering. They still offered they could inspect it if I still wanted to continue with the process. I have had Porsches for years but live outside of Orange County but I always heard the name Autostrasse mentioned positively. Allen and Robert lived up to their reputation. read more

Auto Strasse - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Great service, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Highly recommend to any Porsche owner!!

After my previous Porsche specialist retired, I was in need of a new mechanic for my 912e. I took it into see Robert and the team to pass emissions and get an oil change. It passed emissions, but that wasn't what prompted me to log onto Yelp. I couldn't believe how the car was driving when I got it back. It was a whole new car in how it was driving. I dont know what they did, but the car had an extra pep I didn't know it possessed. Auto Strasse has a new fan, and customer, in me. read more

If you own a Porsche and you're in SoCal you MUST at least consider bringing your car to Robert and his team. Not only do they know these cars inside/out, Roberts customer service is spectacular! They get the job done in a great turn around time from my experiences here. I'm about an hour away but I will not be taking my 911 or Macan anywhere else. Thanks again Robert! read more

Auto Strasse - 911 on hoist for sensor check. - Auto Repair Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I used the shop for a PPI (pre purchase inspection). Very thorough report from top to bottom couldn't have asked for more.

Have been going to Robert for past 10 yrs + always helpful and their prices are a huge saving over the dealerships. many times a phone call with a question is resolved over the phone. Nice to have a local shop like Auto Strasse read more

Robert and his team maintain my Porsche Carrera 4S. They have been working on these machines from the beginning of time. They appreciate the Porsche brand, vehicle performance, and joy of ownership. They provide the needed knowledge, skills, and equipment needed to maintain these machines at a very fair value. Tom read more

My Father brought his 1975 911s Porsche here for Robert to fully rebuild his engine because this Porsche is being restorated. Payed for this to be done, Robert said it was finished, picked it up and brought it home, within days the engine was leaking oil, had loose bolts, and when we started the Porshche there was popping noises like we were at a shooting range. Brought the Porsche back to Auto Strasse and Robert and he said give me a call in a couple weeks, 16 months later, he still has the car and has not fixed it. I wouldn't recommend Auto Strasse. read more

Robert has taken care of everything from electrical, suspension, brakes, services and body & paint and on both mine and my sisters 993's. We just can't say enough good things about him and his shop. In the years we've been going to Robert's, he has always been fair, honest and extremely knowledgeable regarding our 993's and his prices have made Porsche ownership affordable. read more

Long overdue review . Used to only take my Porsche to dealership but decided to try Robert's shop since it was closer to me. Not only is he closer, he and hIs team are kind, honest, and responsive. Robert is THE Porsche wHisperer and I won't trust anyone else with my car. Thanks Robert and team! read more

See all

Robert and his team are the best. They are quick, professional, and their prices are very fair. I wouldn't take my car anywhere else. The first time I took my car to Robert he showed me the parts he replaced without being prompted and texted me photos of the work that he was doing while they had the car apart to explain to me what needed to be done. This is the best Porsche shop in Southern California! read more

Women please beware of this crook! would give this place a zero star. Went in for an oil change and came out with a dashboard camera broken. The owner would only take your call or give you the time of day if you come for new service but they completely ignore your calls for complaints. Not only that, after the oil change, he backed up my car in the position where I would drive out of his lot without noticing my backup dashboard camera was not working. I only noticed after I got home. The next day I came by forcing him to take a look, he blamed on rats that may have bit off chords in inside my car. I took my car to another person, they said chords are fine and the oil change may have triggered the lines that connected the dashboard camera and the unit I. the trunk of the car. Oil container is in the middle. And funny bough, the second day I came to complain, the owner Robert sure enough did not back up my car like he did the first time. He brushed me away for being a woman telling me there were rats that bit off chords. I feel that he sexually discriminate and very dishonest. For being in business this long having 77 5 stars reviews is fishy. There should be hundreds not fake 77. Women please beware!!! read more

I have been on a hunt for a local Porsche Indy shop for a while. These guys are great, honest, and reasonably priced. I needed an oil service for my Boxster S. Dealer wanted $470 plus tax and these guys were able to come in at $230. These guys are well known in the area for a reason...highly recommend! Side note, they report to Carfax so you'll be able to easily keep track of your service records when its time to sell. read more

Always excellent service. Robert and his team really care about taking care of their clients. They are also respectful of your budget.

Dealer recommended replacing both rotors and pads (both front and rear) on my 2106 Macan S. Robert quickly assessed the rotors as good. He got me in and out within the same day on short notice after a phone call first thing in the morning. If you own a Porsche, this is the place. You'll see all models both old and new. Auto Strasse will be my go to for future service needs. read more

Hands down the best independent Porsche mechanic. Nice and approachable, no attitudes here. Very knowledgeable and accurate with diagnosing my car. read more

I have been taking my 991 to them for a couple of years. Just took in for major service. Unlike the dealership, they did not change my brake fluid or drive belt as both were ok. Nice to take your car to an honest shop. Very nice and friendly. read more

Considerate and smart and timely, Auto Strasse was helpful beyond expectation.

I will never take my Porsches anywhere else. Robert really knows his Porsches! He came highly recommended to me by a friend as a reputable Porsche mechanic in the area and I see why. He always gets straight to the problem with every vehicle/issue I've taken to him and his pre-sale inspection service is thorough and the price is right! His employees are also personable and experienced. I highly recommend Robert and his team. read more

I should have came here in the first place. To make a long story short.... I just got my 996 Porsche back from another mechanic for a CE Light. They did their job it took almost a whole week for them to get back to me and I had to like hunt after them for an update on my car. $1600 bucks later..... After it was done they told me drive it around for a couple days to let the computer relearn everything. Bring it back to them and have them plug it in again to make sure i ll past smog. I did all that came back to them and didn't pass. So they told me that they need to reset the computer again and have me go for a couple more days. I can't wait that long due to having no registration on that car and it not passing smog. In the meantime my clutch went out and needed replacement as well. Anyways, I called Auto Strasse, the place I originally wanted to go to and got Robert on the phone. I asked for a quote on the clutch and that't it. After talking for a while Robert told me to come thought. It was 5.45 PM already. They close at 6pm, but he still took me in, hooked up his computer did some test runS, some minor adjustments. Next thing you know the car passes all stages of the smog check. I asked him how much I owe him. He laughed and said in his Romanian/German accent "nothing, just go get your tags tomorrow bring it in and we'll take care of your clutch". Ok, I know he is trying to get my business, but he could have just told me the quote on the clutch job and that would have been it. But he dug deeper and uncovered the current problem I have (I guess had now) hahaha. He was very knowledgeable and advised me to "NOT' get certain parts that I thought I needed for my clutch job. Which at the end after doing all the calculations will save me $1500. Sehr Sehr Gut ( german for very very good). I love it and I will take my car back to the shop this Friday. Based on that incident alone, I already know that this guy will be my main mechanic for everything Porsche. I don't want this to sound racist. But it's kinda cool that I can talk to him in German since I was born and raised in Germany and makes me feel good having a "kind of" German working on my German Car. I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP FOR THEIR HONESTY, KNOWLEDGE AND THE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND MENTALITY. DANKE SCHOEN ROBERT!!! read more

I hired Robert to handle an inspection of a used Cayenne. He was polite, efficient and gave me great perspective. I elected to use him to repair a few things on the car and his team did the work on the spot and a Robert gave me a discount. I was impressed and also observed that he has a loyal client base. He was terrific and I would use him again without hesitation. read more

Porsche specialists. Bought a car in Costa Mesa and they were the first guys to go to for any remaining work. Robert is honest and works with high integrity. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would.. My father wanted a full rebuild of his engine while doing a full restoration of his 911 1975 Porsche and Robert and Auto Strasse did something completely different.. after paying him we had to Bring the car back multiple times because problems such as leaks loose bolts and stalling of the engine. Robert deceived my father who trusted this man to rebuild the engine in his classic car and absolutely did the opposite. After 2 years from dropping the car off they have yet to rebuild the engine like my father asked and the car continues to run rough with leaks after paying thousands of dollars. read more

Excellent Porsche shop, Robert is one of those old school Porsche mechanics that is very knowledgeable & passionate about his trade. Would recommend to anyone in the area. read more

Robert and his crew has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. His rates has been extremely fair and honest for whats getting done. Would definitely recommend if you have a Porsche to go to them. read more

Best and very knowledgeable Porsche mechanic. I will only take my Porsche cars to Robert.

I called & talked to Robert a few months ago about serving my 2018 Cayenne S and asked a few questions. I received straight answers and felt Robert is very honest as many reviews attest. I called to set up an appointment for oil services and set up about in about two weeks for which I understood & imagined how busy they were. When brought my car there, I was greeted friendly by Robert and staff who made me feel comfortable. I asked to check my front brakes and found the pads need replaced and chose to wait since I live away. Since Robert suggested a few restaurants in the area, I went to have lunch while waiting. When returned, Robert had a test driving to do and wanted to make sure the oil level was good. Overall, I'm happy to find Robert and Auto Strasse although I live quite away. My previous Porsche service shop in my area was very honest & reasonable but unfortunately was closed. I've been looking for a reliable & honest mechanic and am glad to find Robert & his shop. Thanks for a good work & service and looking forward to seeing you for next services read more

I still love my Porsche as much as I did the day I bought it brand new 20 years ago. I've always taken extremely good care of it, so it still looks and runs practically like new! But having a love affair with a 20-year-old car is not for the faint of heart - naturally things occasionally break and wear down. When I moved to the OC area 6 years ago, I was anxious about finding a shop I could trust. I was lucky to find Robert and his team and have taken my car there ever since. I wouldn't think of taking it anywhere else. They are always very responsive and knowledgeable. They keep my car running great and are really good at troubleshooting issues and fixing small problems before they become bigger. I highly recommend them! read more

I used to bring my Porsches here when Stan owned the shop, but moved to San Diego. In 2011 I considered buying a 993 from a dealer close to Robert, and brought it to him for a pre purchase inspection. He found a few minor issues, which I had the dealer take care of. As I drove off, the clutch went all the way to the floor. Robert quickly repaired it, and I added it to the list for the dealer. I bought that car and 8 years later, it's the best of the six Porsches I've owned. I'm glad Robert has carried on the tradition that Stan established in the 1970s, and wish his shop was closer to my home in San Diego. read more

I just came here for the first time, and won't take my Porsche Cayenne anywhere else from now on! Great service for a reasonable price. My 15 year old Cayenne was leaking oil and needed brake work; I picked it up and it hasn't run this well in years. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with the owner, his assistant, and the high quality of the work! read more

So we took our car to this store after we had a bad experience at Newport Porsche. Robert and his son were very friendly and honest. They didn't charge us anything close to NB Porsche. Robert also helped us to put the ultrasonic rodent repellent that we bought to our car. Highly recommend this business and will take our car there for the next service. read more

Robert and the guys over at Autostrasse are bar none THE BEST AND MOST REASONABLE in all the OC ! I had been all over LA and Orange County with my Porsche's (and there have been many) but found Robert about ten years ago and have never left .... As long as Robert owns and runs Autostrasse he has mine and my wife's business for life !!! read more

Robert is very knowledgeable and has very fair prices. Would not trust anyone besides him and his team with my baby.

Brought in a 911 for a pre-purchase inspection and was very impressed. The level of detail and time spent with me explaining what they had found and the importance of each needed repair was amazing. Very detailed write-up and photos of the vehicle. Ultimately did not buy the car, but would have brought it in to get work done here if I had. Seemed like the kind of place you can trust and to do the job right. read more

Robert and his team at Auto Strasse are the best. Honest and extremely fair with estimates and pricing. Best customer service and great communication. OC's finest Porsche service and repair business! read more

I had a great experience with Robert. He is honest and trustworthy. I will definitely recommend to visit his shop for any Porsche maintenance read more

Robert knows his stuff. All he works on is Porsche's... great service, and reasonable pricing. Only place I'll go in OC to take my Turbo.

Porsche specialist without the Porsche price tag! I needed to get the front brakes done on a 2009 Porsche Cayman S. I shopped around for prices, and Auto Strasse couldn't be beat! House Automotive quoted $1,060, Hergesheimer MotorSports quoted $1,100 and Auto Strasse was the best at $750 for the entire front brakes including rotors. After an hour and half, I returned to see that the brakes were all done, tires properly inflated, and they were running extra tests to see if there was anything else (results were negative, all good!). To my surprise, he even beat his own estimate and the final bill was $700. I'll be returning for sure! read more
