I had a fantastic experience with Dave and his team at Moddernman. It was my first time bringing my Porsche 997 GT3 to them, and they were remarkable. The team was delightful, experienced, and communicative. It is refreshing to find an auto at genuinely kno service shop this what they're doing and prioritizes the customer. Dave reviewed my entire GT3, made a few updates, ensured everything was in perfect order, and changed the oil. I'm so glad I found Moddernman, and I will bring my Porsche back to Dave and his team in the future. read more

As always, service was great and on time. I really appreciate the honesty and reliability of Dave, Steve and the rest of the staff.

Excellent service. I have my dad's 1969 911 Porsche and Dave takes excellent care of it!

Class act all the way! These guys know Porsche and everything to help keep your Porsche running as intended. These guys keep busy, so schedule weeks in advance. Dave, his team and his shop provide the highest level of service. Dave took me under my car, which I brought in for an initial inspection and minor service, to show and explain areas of the car that need attention and things to observe. His shop and workspace is quite organized and clean for the amount of work they are doing. The shop is on the level of "camera ready". Pulling into Modderman Service instantly let me know I was at the right place. This shop provides excellent quality service with matching knowledge & experience, so be prepared to pay for that quality. Shouldn't be a problem if your familiar with Porsche. read more

Modderman Service - 2001 986 (Boxster S) - Auto Repair Near Me - Mountain View, California

Above and beyond service, professional and devoted to gettig desired results. Exceptional and remarkeable service.

Got a wicked problem with my Macan that's got air suspension (compressor pump aging) Looked FOR EVER for an indy mechanic in the SF Bay Area who has a Porsche PIWIS2.0 or higher and really know how to deal with the closed system air suspension pump replacement, nitrogen refill, and reinitializing. Placed a bounty here on Yelp and NO ONE knew what I was (or they were) talking about. Lucky I was referred to them by Dan at my trusty old 911 shop RMG who won't work w Macans. Called Modderman Service and Steve who picked up the phone knew exactly what I was talking about and I went to check them out. Right at that time they were dealing with a Panamera with a badly deflated air suspension and I knew I came to the right place. They took my car in and it was fixed and ready to go sooner than I expected at a reasonable price. Hat's off to the Modderman team! read more

Experienced and honest service. Dave is a class act that you can trust. Five Stars! I switched all my service and repairs from the dealership to Modderman. read more

Dave & co absolutely saved my holidays, as they were able to quickly & accurately pinpoint and fix the source of my Cayenne coolant leak. The service was absolutely stellar. The turnaround was extremely fast. After moving to the bay area, i had tried Redwood City Porsche for my annual service and i was completely disappointed by the service, as they ended up damaging my glove compartment slow open mechanism and i had to take time out of my busy schedule to take the car back in service. I only wish i had known about Modderman sooner and avoided that bad annual service experience. I will be entrusting Modderman with all my future needs. What i really appreciated is that they showed me the broken part and went over exactly what was done. I have never had a dealership do that for me. It made my day read more

I have to shout loud to Steve. My car's water bump has some problem which cannot cool the engine down. So it had smoke when I'm planning to drive my friend to SFO. By accident, found this shop and Steve arrange his time to help me. out of 3-weeks full capacity. It only takes 2 days to fix the problem. I cannot image how it will cost if I go to dealership. Btw, my car is 718 boxster. Steve and David told me the water bump and the coolant occasionally have some problems for the new Porsche. Since they have dedicated in Porsche for many years, true experts to count on !! read more

Great service as always and Dave set proper expectations on completion. I didn't need to call on the status! Dave called me with options on tires and this was right for my budget. Dave and Steve explained the work completed when I came to pick up the car and I felt much better driving home. Thanks guys! read more

Damaged my interior, tried to cover it up. They basically admitted they caused the damage and all they said was that the damaged part is still available. That's all they said. There are way too many better Porsche mechanics in the South Bay and peninsula to risk going here. read more

If honesty, integrity & trustworthiness rank high on your criteria for an auto mechanic, look no further. Local Porsche dealer had diagnosed an oil leak in my 2014 Diesel Cayenne, with a repair estimate of nearly $20K. I took it to Moderman for a second opinion, and their mechanic found no evidence of a leak, charged me for 30 min service ( under $200). I'll let you do the math on the savings. I've put 1,000 mi on the car since the original diagnosis, and oil level is holding steady. Thank you Moderman! I'll be bringing my car to you for all future service needs. read more

Steve totally saved my bacon and what a nice guy! The day before I was leaving the country for a couple of weeks the battery died in my 911s. If the battery dies completely its a royal pain having to connect a battery to the fuse panel to gain access to the frunk and the battery. Steve changed the battery while I waited on a Friday afternoon and now I don't have to worry about the car while I am away. The dealer wanted 1100 dollars to change a battery, Modderman was less than half the cost and did it on the spot. Great service and nice people. read more

I first visited Modderman in 2015 after my 2001 996 developed an odd intermittent squeaking sound. I had already taken my car to a local dealer and two independent shops where I paid a lot of money for them to replace parts that weren't broken. At my wit's end, a friend recommended I try Modderman. Dave made it his personal mission to get to the bottom of my issue. A week later, he had solved my issue and I was shocked to learn that his total bill was less than I'd paid any of the other shops who failed to fix the problem. I have been taking my car to Modderman ever since. If you own a Porsche and find yourself in need of service, repairs, or performance enhancements, I strongly recommend you check out Modderman. Dave and his entire staff are true artisans who take pride in their work. Whether it's an oil change or debugging some elusive intermittent quirk, Modderman will get the job done at a fair price. read more

Very expert analysis of problems and highest quality service. Many thanks to Dave and c read more

David is courteous, responsive and has some considerable expertise! The shop is always busy (good sign!) so it can be a week or so before he can slot you in. The work has been of high quality and we keep coming back! read more

Modderman is great. I have trusted my 2008 Carrera S to Dave and Steve for years. During one appointment, years ago, he even showed me how to flush the brake fluid when I asked if I could observe how it worked. He's honest about what the car needs and what can be deferred for a little while. read more

Dave is very knowledgeable. Charges are fair. One of the best Porsches shops around.

Brought my (new to me) car to Modderman and this proved to be the best decision I've yet made for the car. I purchased a car and violated the cardinal rule of NOT getting a PPI, and needed to have a specialists' expertise look it over, in order to get some sleep at night. Dave and his fantastic team assured me that I didn't buy a ticking time bomb and performed the much needed / overdue preventative maintenance, fluid changes, and addressed items that needed replacing. The shop is immaculate, staff honest, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. To top it off, the Porsche's in the shop at the time were an enthusiast dream. I've found my Porsche specialist that I'll be returning to for all professional work needed for my new baby! read more

Modderman will really go the extra mile to get your repair done right and at the best price possible. I blew the transmission on my 2007 Porsche Cayman S. Dave was able to find the transmission I needed in a parts yard and he had the replacement transmission installed at a total cost that was less than half of the cost of the parts alone at the Porsche service center. read more

Modderman Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Mountain View, California

Great group of guys! Awesome customer service and Porsche fanatics. They took my 930 with little to no advanced notice and were able to diagnose it quickly. Pretty happy with their performance and expect a long lasting relationship at their shop. Btw, their shop is immaculate! Great indication of how your vehicle will be treated. read more

What a pleasure to have found Dave and his team! It's so rare: true experts, who really know what they are doing, and have a passion for Porsches like we do! They are responsive, efficient, and significantly cheaper than the dealer. The mechanics have all been there for years, you know who's taking care of your car. Thanks Dave! read more

I just bought my new used Porsche and the person who sold it to me recommended this place because this was there they took it to get it serviced. It's a small shop in Mountain View that specializes in Porsches. So far, I am very satisfied with their knowledge and courteous service. Plus, they can drop you off if you are within 10 miles. That is a big plus. I am not sure what the price difference is from a dealership, so I'm not really sure if I am getting a "bargain" or not, but they seem like a very honest and reliable place so far. read more

Knowledgeable and helpful service. A great crew knows their job and takes care of business.

I've been taking my car here for a number of years now, and I'm always satisfied with the work, and confident by virtue of good communication with Dave. read more

Fast, no non-sense, top quality work at a very fair price.

One of my friends invited me to attend a NASA Pro Racing event on June 28, 2009 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA. This sounds like fun so I signed up for the HPDE-1, paid the membership fee, and thought this was it. In preparation for this driving class, all drivers must have an approved SA2005 helmet, a vehicle OK'ed for track, and maintain appropriate rules and guidelines. I read the pages and pages of rules and finally purchased my helmet on-line. And last, I needed to find a place to Inspect my car and OK it for track use. I called a few approved places on the racing website that were local, and the only person to answer on a Friday afternoon at 4:15pm was Modderman Service. The shop doesn't open weekends, but opens until 5pm on weekdays. I told him I could stop in by 5:00pm on Monday and he said he'll be there. I didn't bother to look at his website until I made the appointment and when I did, I noticed his shop was a Porsche Specialist. When I arrived at the shop on Monday afternoon, I was greeted promptly and David came out to see me. David knew exactly what he was looking for and performed a thorough inspection of my BMW. He signed off on the School Technical Inspection Form and gave me some parting advice, "Make sure you keep the shiny side up!" David was in a hurry for another appointment and when he drove by my parked car, he gave me a little toot from his classic Porsche. If I were in the market to buy a Porsche and I do like the Carrera 4s, I would definitely bring my car in for service with David Modderman. read more

Dave Modderman worked on my 1992 964 Cab. Great friendly guy. I just bought this Porsche and the previous owner installed a new top here. The top wasn't aligned correctly on the driver's side. Took it back here and Dave fix it in a couple of days and didn't charge me. I wish I can bring my car here for service but I live in San Francisco. Honest service. Great place to bring your car. read more

Extraordinary service and acumen in Porsche mechanics. Prior shops that I have been to, were unable to fix things that the Modderman team knew exactly how to fix within five minutes. They were informative, fast, budget conscious, proactive in communication, and courteous. They even bothered to show me where and how the break down occurred, including the broken parts and how it worked. I traveled over 30 miles to take my Porsche here and it was worth every hassle of towing and commute to get it to them. From now on, it's the only place I'll be taking my Porsche for service. Thank you, Dave, Steve and Modderman team! read more

David Modderman has been servicing my car for a year now. I don't know much about cars, so he really explains everything to me in detail and shows me what is going on..literally. I saw my brake pads that were shot and my nasty worn down tires. he quotes everything out before he does the work and up to this point everything has been very reasonable. I have serviced my car their, changed brake pads and changed tires. Everything runs very beautifully! Thanks Dave! read more

This is a fantastic shop for Porsche! Dave and team are exceptionally knowledgeable, do great work, are very friendly and helpful, and we are very fortunate to have them nearby! read more

Do take your care here. The owner drives, races and works on Porsche exclusively. I brought my car here for an inspection before I purchased it from a private party. They spent time and asked a lot of questions about the car before even looking at it. Although there is never a guarantee on a used car buy, they provided a great service to help prevent making a big mistake through their thorough analysis. My impression based on the questions they were asking and the presentation of the results was that they are experts on Porsche cars. They also gave me good trouble shooting advice and what preventative measures to take to maintain optimal performance. They get 5 stars for diagnostic and minor service work. I will add the 5th star for the overall rating when I see how they do with modification work. Update: I decided to leave my car stock. I still rate this shop five star for their thorough guidance and explanation of servicing and proper maintenance and car care. read more

The absolute go to shop for Porsche repair. Dave is the king of customer service and he and his crew are the best. My 95 993 has been in their care and they were nice enough to accommodate me when my 1970 914/6 developed an issue with not starting. It seems like a rare thing to get good customer service but Dave and the crew go above and beyond. I don't usually take the time to leave reviews but Modderman Service really has impressed me. Five stars....... read more

Modderman is an outstanding group of professionals that understand their customers needs as well as the automobiles they service. I have used Dave and his team for 4 years and find them as a whole the best in the South Bay Area. Great communication and excellent work. read more

My ancient Porsche was running rough and my usual mechanic, who is generally reliable but not a specialist, wasn't sure how to fix it; he suggested a motor rebuild. So I went to Modderman instead, and they fixed a carburetor jet and fuel filter and I'm on my way. So they saved me a fair bit of time and money. Sometimes the specialist is the less expensive option. read more

First time for me and my 997 Carrera 4 at Modderman Service. Excellent service on a leaking front differential, clear and honest options & recommendations. Obviously David and his team are Porsche experts, spend time to explain and show where the problem has been diagnosed, offer options at different, fair prices. I truly felt in the hands of expert mechanics willing to take the time to understand the problem and fix things rather than simply replace at a higher cost. Also excellent advises on other preventative measures. Will definitely come back at Modderman for servicing my Porsche. read more

Thanks to Dave for bailing me out this week! I've been taking my Porsches to Dave for over 10 years and have always been happy. This time, my car locked up when trying to start... won't turn over, steering column locked, and top locked down, but rest of electrical system working so I had to tow it to Modderman's. Dave reset the computer and got it working for only $160, less than the tow and a small fraction of the total cost when you figure all the Uber's I had to deal with. Thanks Dave! read more
