IPB AUTOSPORTS (Owner Ron Kain) is a great local independent PORSCHE service (located on C-street in Sacto). I've relied upon Ron's shop several times for service and maintenance concerns associated with my 914 and wouldn't hesitate to trust Ron's shop with my car for just about anything in need of professional attention. Ron's facility does a lot of work on 911s, 356s, but also tunes and works on 914s (many shops do not), both flat-4s and flat-6s. Ron himself is a great guy: a valued member of the Sacramento Porsche community and a real P-car resource to avail! read more

IPB Autosport - 'Jezibel", a 2-liter 914-4, 2026. - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

We have had our Porsche Cayenne repaired at IPB twice. The technical staff does a excellent job and the owner Ron is very personable and honest and helpful. As long as we have Cayenne's IPB will be our shop. But if they keep breaking, we're go lease a brand new car and get rid of these. ‍Fortunately, we have a warranty for now. read more

IPB Autosport - 2012. Cayenne is my wife's and the 2010 is mine. - Auto Repair Near Me - Sacramento, California

As always, absolutely no complaints with Ron Kain and his team at IPB Autosports. I have a 1974 Porsche 914-4 and IPB is one of the few truly expert Porsche specialist servicing agencies in the Greater Sacramento Area that you may rely upon for not just excellent 914 work but for work on almost all German cars. As some may be aware, too many Sacramento Porsche shops state they are no longer willing to work on mid-engine Porsche 914 cars (including FRANKS, one of the oldest Porsche service businesses in this city). Your guess as to exactly why is as good as mine! That said, I trust Ron's IPB Autosports with my 914 completely and the work I've received is always precise, professional and very satisfactory! Furthermore, their customer communications and 'customer care' standards are among the best anywhere and their shop rates are competitive, as well. These people know all Porsches...and even "VW-Porsche" 914s...like few others! Trust them...I do! read more

Excellent service and knowledge at IPB. Not many shops in the area that really know classic German vehicles, and these guys are above and beyond. I've used them for several classic vehicles and they always are willing to help me out! read more

Ron and his team know their stuff. Very thorough and professional work. Great communication too.

Needed an oil/filter change for my R8, so I decided to call IPB to see if they had any openings since I was a mile away. After a phone call and ten minutes later, my car was on the rack. During my wait there was small talk with the staff, and all were genuinely nice. They ran tests on my car after the oil change to see if everything was up to par, and there was no pressure to get things done. If you need work done on your precious car, see Ron for a great experience. read more

Ok, if you enjoy your Porsche or BMW like I do and it's time for maintenance or other upgrades...look no further then the help Ron and Mike and the team at IPB. I have owned 3 BMWs over the years (including M5 and M6). I have built show cars from the ground up and I can't say enough about how appreciative I am of the quality and Care IPB provides. IPB has taken care of my Porsche's for years (a 1973 Targa, a 1988 Carrera and now our 2016 Carrera S) always with great service. I recently had a failure of a front cooling fan. It would intermittently turn on (although the car had not been run in a couple days) with only the opening and closing of the door. Don and Mike figured it out when the dealer and others couldn't. Wow!!! We are now so happy as it was a concern that it would kill our battery or ???? Anyway, the book said to replace the fan (part of the issue that was found) would take many more hours to replace (and you can bet the dealer would have charged every bit of the hours in the book to do this) Ron and Mike got their heads together and saved the amount of time/cost with some logical ingenuity. The wife and I are over the moon about saving $$$. Thank You! Ron knows his cars, I love chatting about them with him if he isn't too slammed. He's seen it all or will figure it out with over 30 years in the business. Thank Again IPB Autosport and team. read more

I called IPB the day after Christmas to see if they could fit me in for a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) on a Porsche 911 I was planning to purchase. I was hoping to pick up the car before the new year so the PPI needed to be completed in the next day or two. I spoke with Ron who said he'd check the following day (Friday, December 27) to see if their schedule had any availability. I called him the next day and Ron was able to squeeze me in for Monday, December 30. The seller drove to IPB and the PPI was completed in 3 hours. The results were emailed to me, payment was made electronically, and we discussed the findings over the phone. Ron was thorough, clear, and easy to deal with. His Porsche expertise and his findings eased my mind about the car. The purchase was complete the next day and I drove my car home on New Year's Eve. I was able to celebrate Day 1 of 2025 with my new to me Carrera and Ron was a big part of that working out for me. Will not hesitate to use IPB again for any work on my Porsche or VWs in the future. Thanks Ron. read more

I have been taking my 2 old Porsches to IPB (then Autosport Technology) for a very long time. Ron and his team are true experts in the older Porsches and do a great job keeping my cars running well. An added feature to visiting IPB is seeing the projects they are working on. They are doing some really nice restorations. read more

We won't take our cars anywhere else. The crew at IPB has done a great job over our two-decade ownership of multiple Porsches. This team truly knows their craft and we wouldn't trust our very rare car to any other shop. You won't be disappointed in your experience. In addition, the IPB team is well-connected to a support network for other services, including finish restoration, wheel (rim) repair, auto-glass... most any other service you might need for your special car is a quick referral away without worry that you're going blind to an unknown service provider for anything Porsche-related. read more

I have an older 911 that needed to be sorted out after a restoration. There were so many little things that were missed and Ron addressed every issue. He is the BEST in the business! read more

My car started having an issue F82 M4 asked a friend for the best shop for the issue and he recommended IPB called and spoke to Ron explained to him best I could what it was.

Cause it's a bmw so it'll be broken again. read more

The best BMW, Mercedes and Porsche mechanic in the City of Sacramento! Always professional, knowledgeable, efficient and helpful. When you own a 'high end ' vehicle, IPB is where you want to go for maintenance, especially if you want to keep it's value. The owner, Ron, is an honest businessman! The staff - their good people! read more

I took my 997 turbo to IPB Autosport to have a custom steering wheel, which had the shift light, and loads of other information on the car, displayed on a small screen that is also integrated into the steering wheel. Ron and his staff wired and programmed my steering wheel flawlessly! They actually did it with no instructions. If you are looking for a place that may charge a little more than, "the next guy," but will truly treat your car better than you do, then IPB is for you. Cutting corners, doing things that are, "good enough," is not in their vocabulary. Just remember, you get what you pay for. Top notch service and quality has a price. In my opinion, you will get the most for your money through IPB. read more

Great technical ability. IPB Autosport is able to track down faulty sensors and modules that pertain to proper operation of your Porsche! My Porsche had a slow electrical draw that was determined to be a faulty hood latch code, even though the latch worked properly in theory, by the interior switch and the fob. read more

Excellent service. Fast, efficient and super friendly. You are kept updated on the progress of your repairs and if any issues arise you are promptly notified. Quality service at a very fair price. read more

Ron is the best - fair prices, honest assessments, great workmanship. What more could you want? He really knows Porsches as this is his speciality. read more

I only needed a routine oil change. From making the appointment to the completed job, everything was quick, easy, and affordable!

Usually I always take my Audi to the dealer for service and repairs. I'm thankful I found IPB Autosport. Ron the owner is so awesome. He took the time to show me 3D schematics of the part I needed repaired and told me how much it should cost. I realized the dealer was trying to charge me double. My car maintenance will be handled by these guys. read more

If you need someone who has a real passion for cars, I sorry, I meant to say who has a real passion for Porsche, BMW, and Audi; IPB Autosport is the place to go. They have the latest in computer aided software, up to date machines that assist the auto technicians, but what sets them apart from the rest are the Technicians and the talent they bring to the job. These guys and gals are the smartest in their field, but don't let me convince you have them show you! read more

See all

I love this place...and not just because they have been keeping my beloved 1989 Porsche 944 S2 in tip-top shape for three years, but because Ron and his daughter are truly some of the nicest people you can ever meet. Although they are always very busy, they are never too busy to provide highly personal and friendly attention when you communicate with them. Of course, their expert automotive service is what brought me here and keeps me coming back. It costs a lot of money to maintain and repair German sports cars, and I feel that IPB does its best to keep costs as reasonable as possible and to only recommend necessary services/parts. read more

Amazing group of people here from top to bottom. Brought my Audi in for some computer coding, only to require complete diagnosis. Everybody here was great, super friendly, and hugely knowledgeable. They are not shy to explain everything to the dot what they did or would have to do. It's difficult to find shops you can trust, but everybody here loves cars and loves what they do. They are car people so they care. Your car whether it's your daily driver, modified, beast, or race car these guys will treat your baby with the respect it deserves. read more

Ron knows his stuff. Having a n exotic vehicle is not cheap to maintain, but if you take your vehicle to the dealer, the maintenance is fairly expensive. But IPB does it better for less. He exceeded dealer quality and cost. I also understands he is contracted with Porsche to build their race engines. With that knowledge and experience, why wouldn't you take your exotic their.? read more

Great local BMW Shop! My car would not start, I isolated it to the battery cable, so I called the shop up and then had the car towed there. Ron took the car in and discovered that the cable was OK, but the connector from the cable to the fuse box was bad. Took about 3 days for the parts to come in and everything repaired. Dealership quality work with a more personal touch; better service, communication, and better price. I'll be back here for my scheduled maintenance. read more

Ron at IPB-Autosport is a unicorn. He knows his stuff and is always willing to help. Had a fault that wouldn't go away and was generating a false positive.
