I've been coming to Peter for years, with two separate cars. He's the only guy I trust to do perfect work on such a unique car that has lots of nuances. Just had my 996 clutch repaired and IMS replacement. It only took 1 day and feels like a brand new car now. If you're reading this, never take your Porsche anywhere else. Stuttcar Service with Peter and Angie are the best. read more

Best Porsche shop in town. Super knowledgeable, real care is put into their work, and the prices are fair. Long waitlist to get an appointment, but there's an obvious reason for that ;) read more

Great service! Peter is the best. He is straight up and very realizable. His work is excellent.

Peter knows the car very well. Does not over sells like most shops in Pasadena . Only problem is he is too busy !

I love the level of service and how friendly it is from start to finish. From the moment I made an appointment to how Peter took care of me and kept me informed during the whole process of fixing my car. He was knowledgeable and showed me what was the root cause of my issue and even explained his troubleshooting process. He was quick as well, surprisingly so at least from my expectations. I had a lot of things fixed and when I got my car back I was very happy with how it drove. Almost feels like a new car. Definitely will recommend to others if you have a Porsche. Oh things to note: If you pay cash or check you get a slight discount. Make an appointment well ahead of time. He's in demand for his skills and I can see why. read more

I am not a car guy but I love Porsche! If you are someone like me, Congratulations you find the right place. Peter is the someone I can trust. At least I feel that way! Hopefully you would have great experience here. read more

I have taken my 944 to 3 different shops in the two years I've owned it... It has been an uphill battle to remedy most things for most shops. Even a local shop here in Silver Lake that is well known could not figure out most of the issues I was having and I was hemorrhaging money on these "repairs" How decided to try StuttCar and from the moment I met Peter I could tell he was honest and actually knew what he was talking about. He serviced my car, fixed everything I needed and did it for about a quarter of what I was paying elsewhere for them to not remedy the problems. Highly, highly recommend this shop for your portion needs! It is a drive but I will be back every time. I cannot say enough good things about the service, honesty and knowledge base! STUTTCAR!!!! read more

See all

The Universe work in mysterious ways. I was driving on Walnut St. When my brake lights on my Cayenne when on. I looked at the warning, looked up and on my right hand idea was Stuttcar Service. Pulled up,met Peter the owner and amazing man. He saw the issue, told me w To wait to get a quote. Peter came back showed me the cost of each part and also mentioned that if the rotors might not needed to be change which save me some dinero. All in all the quote was very acceptable. I am one happy customer. PETER JUST EARN ANOTHER CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!! read more

Third car in over a decade brought here (968, 993, G50). Peter fixes issues properly and correctly the first time. May take a couple weeks to get an appointment but that is a testament to the reputation StuttCar carries. Prices are very reasonable. I will not go anywhere else. Had him recently install a Porsche Classic radio and I am very happy with the work. He also did an oil and oil filter change. He fixed my center arm rest and did not charge for it. BEST shop for Porsche. read more

StuttCar Service - 968 with Peter's sign in background. - Auto Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

Stuttcar is a really great place to bring your Porsche. Peter is factory trained and his level of expertise is off the charts. Angie is wonderful too and they are both honest and fair in running a top level Porsche service shop. I've been bringing my Porsche here for some time now and I'm always super impressed with the quality of the work and how well my car runs. read more

I had a battery discharge protection message that wouldn't go away on my Cayenne. Angie was nice enough to squeeze me in the next day for a quick assessment (usually you need to make an appointment 2-4 weeks ahead of time). Peter hooked up my car to his computer and fixed it in less then 10 minutes. I asked how much and he said it was free. I was blown away since the dealership and the shop down the street wanted to charge me to just check it. Peter and Angie are the best and I'm now a new loyal customer. I just wish Peter worked on other makes so I can bring all my cars here. read more

I am fairly new to the Porsche family and Peter has been great addressing some of my concerns on my 05 911. I know he is busy but He has been kind enough to take time and chat a bit. His prices for the services he provides are pretty dang good too! I would highly recommend Peter for any Porsche work you may need to have done! read more

If you have a Porsche... you have no doubt made the Porsche-shop rounds trying to find an honest mechanic who doesn't charge $1000 every time something needs to be repaired. I have also had countless instances where I have had a minor issue repaired only to have a completely new and different issue come up after having it fixed (hmmmm). StuttCar (Peter) is knowledgeable, honest and friendly. Did I mention honest? I highly recommend using them. Obviously you can take your car to the dealer and pay $800 for a simple oil change. If you are looking for a great alternative, I recommend this shop. Pro tip: Schedule ahead as he is very busy. read more

Peter is amazing! He was able to diagnose a complex set of problems and rebuild most of the elaborate wiring harness at the rear of my 911s - victim to a family of rats that moved in. Amazingly complicated work but he completed it in just a few days. I believe that most would have given up merely at the sight of all that was damaged. I only recently moved to Pasadena and I am delighted that I found such a fantastic resource. 5 Gigantic Stars read more

Peter is the best and so is Angie. I had a engine light come on in my Porsche Turbo..and it appeared to be a oxygen sensor.Another place across the street was $200 just to check it out and said it could cost up to $2000 .. Peter repaired it in two hours for $470 all parts included. The car runs great! He is always busy and you must make an appointment with Angie. She is very helpful and nice too. If you have an earlier classic 911...Do not go to Rusnak or any other Independent repair shop without seeing Peter first. He is super nice and friendly...He is old school and has been working on Porsches for decades. read more

No wonder why this place has 5 star averages. Peter and Angie are great!! He really knows his way around Porsches. I came with a check engine light from a bad solenoid actuator and he did the inspection as it should be done: checked wired harness, then check solenoid valve and checked oil pressure. Also he really stands behind his work warranty!! It is hard to come around an honest mechanic that also knows in depth what he is doing. Most definitely will be coming back to StuttCar. read more

Peter and Angie are the best. Very accommodating, honest and knowledgeable. Not only is Peter a great mechanic, but he taught me how to drive my Macan better, with using the different settings. I won't take it anywhere else now :) read more

Peter maintains my Cayenne Turbo S, I won't go anywhere else. He is a brilliant mechanic, runs a great shop, and will keep your Porsche in tip top shape. He knows everything about these cars, and that's why if you own a Porsche you have to maintain it with StuttCar. This place is a real gem for Porsche owners! read more

Peter has been taking care of my Porsches since 2013. Not going anywhere else. If you are looking for an honest and competent Porsche mechanic, you now know where to go. read more

If you prefer to spend more for the same work go to house automotive. If you're a sane person stop by Stuttcar first. Ask for Peter and he will take care of your car at the best prices. He's honest, reliable, and most importantly a very talented mechanic. Here is a sample estimate and invoice to replace an air bag sensor. HA 833.79 Stuttcar 228.74 I ended up going to Stuttcar I mentioned my breaks were squeeking and Peter went ahead and resurfaced my pads and disk at no charge. I go to Stuttcar for all my services. The only reason o went to house is because there was a sensor that Peter couldn't code. read more

Today was my second time taking in my 997 for service and once again service was exceptional. Peter and Angie go above and beyond with their customer service. Pricing is very fair. I finally found a great indie shop for my cars. read more

StuttCar Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

Peter is an amazing mechanic honest and friendly very jolly and funny . I pull into the shop after a buddy of mines recommended me to come here. After having some issues with a whining noise Peter was super busy but still offered a hand to check out my car which shows how much they care about their customers. My battery was long over due and it literally died at the shop. Thankfully Peter and Angie had a battery and charged me half of what the dealer would charge and installed it for me for a very good price. If you have a Porsche I highly recommended bringing it here to get a honest opinion. Living in SoCal as we all know is already expensive and when you drive a Porsche people automatically think you have Porsche money. Thanks guys you are the best!!! read more

I have been going to Stuttcar for almost 10 years now. I own 2 Porsches and I will not take them anywhere else. Peter fixes legitimate problems (if any). He has humility, integrity, his prices are very fair (much better than any dealer and even better than some other independent shops), and his service is second to none. He is the best. read more

WOW...WOW...WOW!!! I am EXTREMLY happy with the service and quality of StuttCar Service! Peter and his wife is AWESOME!! I usually take my Porsche Cayenne Turbo to a shop down the street...but I had to get a second opinion on few items that was recommended. 1) Being a second owner of the car, I was concerned with common issue of coolant pipe failure on this particular model. I was told by my other shop couple of times, it's a good idea to get them replaced...cost would be around $2800. Well...I decided to wait couple of years and I was going to get it done this year. 2) My driver side headlight kept failing...keeps popping out of its place. I had taken the car back to the other shop couple of times and finally was told I needed to replace the head light bracket on the driver side. They had replaced the right side before...I think I paid $300! 3) My fog light just went out... So with all the issues I see on the car and was contemplating if I should just sell my car...only has 58,000 miles. But before I made up my mind, I was going to get a second opinion. Found Peter's shop from Yelp...located just few blocks from other shop. When I called, Pete's wife Angie said I needed to make an appointment and it's about 1.5 months wait. I thought to myself...they must be really good if their customers are willing to wait 1.5 months. So i booked it. I dropped off the car yesterday and picked it up today. Total cost....$0! Pete inspected my car and told me 1) Coolant pipes were already replaced...no need to spend $2800 with the other shop. If it needed to be done...Pete would've charged me $1000 less! I couldn't believe what I was hearing...either other shop never bother to look at my car before they recommended the coolant pipe replacement nor I was going to get ripped off? I hope it's the first reason...they didn't bother to inspect my car. But they did work on my drive shaft, replaced rear air shocks, oil changes, etc. Shouldn't they already know coolant pipes were replaced? 2) I didn't need to replace the headlight bracket...Pete just replaced one of the bushings. One of the bushings was bad... a simple replacement. 3) Fog light...he just pushed the light bulb back in. NO CHARGE for any of his time since this was my first visit! Peter will be my Porsche mechanic for LIFE! 1.5 months wait time is worth it...I'd be willing to wait longer for Pete's service! I'll be bringing in 1958 359 coupe next month for Pete to inspect and do oil change and minor service. I highly...HIGHLY recommend to visit Pete and Angie for all your Porsche maintenance needs! read more

Hands-down, the most friendly, honest and knowledgeable automotive repair professional I've dealt with in a long time. Where do I start... I ran into StuttCar (Angie + Peter) through my desperate search this last week for an alternative. I was quoted $7,000 for a transmission rebuild from another shop down the street because my Cayenne Turbo didn't engage into any gear. Long story, but what I thought was going to be a $7,000 repair turned out to be ~$700. I also got a bunch of other things I wanted done, done there - major service/tune-up, AC recharge and battery replacement. If you own Porsche and need service or mechanical repair, I highly recommend calling StuttCar. Go down there and meet Peter and Angie. Agreeing with other Yelpers, honest, knowledgable and reasonable are the primary words I'd use to describe my experience with StuttCar. Peter is a really good, genuine person to work with. Both him and Angie have fantastic customer service orientation and they're both attentive and responsive. They also take the time to explain what's happening and shows me things when possible. They don't have the most reviews (don't know why). They don't have the fanciest office/lobby/waiting area with flat screen TVs like a Porsche dealer. They don't have fizzy beverages or a Keurig - just a good ol' fashion water cooler. But that's what I need when I bring a complex piece of German engineering for repair and service - I want the repair and service to be top quality at a fair price. Everything Mark R. has provided in his reviews, I second. "Peter and his wife Angela are the people one always wishes to meet anywhere," - Agree with 1000%. read more

This is a fantastic shop, hands-down the best in Pasadena. I have a lot of experience at another nearby shop and now realize I had been greatly overcharged for years. Peter is very knowledgeable, and honest. Regarding other shops in Pasadena....ask yourself this: do you come out with a bill over $1000 every time you go? This is the m.o. of dishonest shops. Not so with Peter at Stuttcar... extremely honest and transparent. read more

I just got my 2003 911 Porsche and found StuttCar Service on Yelp, They have a lot of great reviews so I called and made an appointment. I met Peter at 7:30am, very nice and knowledgeable man, We went over car history and signed paperwork. He gave me ride to Allen Metro Station and picked me up in the evening when car was ready. Went over repairs and drove away. Right away I felt the difference on the way the car drove. Very Happy with their service and will recommend to my family Porsche owners. read more

Peter and Angie are fantastic owners of this shop. So glad I found them on Yelp! From customer service to sincere and honest recommendations, I drive 50+ miles just to come here to get my Macan serviced. I trust Peter with my car and I see the dedication and extra time he puts in to ensure the issues are addressed. Prices are reasonable and his expertise is unquestionable. read more

Now I can see why so many people recommend Peter. He was not only recommend to me by other Porsche owners, but other machanics too. It is really nice to have a great Porsche machanics local. I definitely recommend Peter read more

If you are a Porsche owner in search of an honest and knowledgeable Porsche mechanic who is fair, reliable, respectful, and does excellent work, then your search has just ended because Peter Fazekas and StuttCar Service, Inc. is what you have been seeking. HONEST Peter and his wife Angela are the people one always wishes to meet anywhere, but most especially in the automotive world. You can trust their insights and recommendations implicitly. KNOWLEDGEABLE Peter is formally trained by Porsche and has been working on Porsches for years and years. Moreover, he is passionate about what he does, which is an unique combination. Honestly, most Porsche owners are obsessive Internet hounds who arrive at their repair shops with dozens of theories, ideas, and suggestions for their mechanic with respect to any given repair. I understand. I am like you. Even so, all that is completely unnecessary here. Peter has seen it all. Again, you can trust him. Let it go and be happier than you have ever been with your car. FAIR and RELIABLE Peter and Angela are considerate and foresightful; especially regarding scheduling, pricing, and repair duration. Further, they do not make promises they are unable to keep. Simply and beautifully, you can trust them. EXCELLENT WORK Your car will be respected and repaired thoughtfully and very well. I have had a variety of work done by Peter, from the relatively simple to the more complex requiring deeper analysis. I have been very pleased every time. I am so happy that I had the good fortune to find Peter and StuttCar Service. read more

Peter is fantastic. They do quick, competent work and every interaction I've had has been enjoyable. They are busy so you'll need to schedule ahead but I think that popularity is a testament to both his quality and pricing. read more

I was referred to SuttCar by my buddies whom are Porsche fanatics. I like to support local indie shops, and being so close to home, it was a no brainer. My 996 C4S sat for several years and so I wanted to conduct a tune up and fix the fuel gauge and window actuator. I was placed on the calendar ~5 weeks out, and a few days prior, received a reminder phone call. Brought the car in and was greeted by Peter, a very amicable gentleman. 2 days later, picked up the car and couldn't be happier! Only downside is that Peter is in such high of demand that his calendar is booked! read more

I just recently visited Greg at HOUSE Automotive to get an update on my convertible top. The work recommended was $3400. In thinking it over I visited another local certified PORSCHE enthusiast, Peter at STUTTCAR SERVICE INC, where he added synthetic fluid ($34.00) to the reservoir that operates the convertible top. It now works perfectly. It took him a few minutes and he was extremely gracious and kind. After hearing my story regarding Greg at House, which he has heard repeatedly he didn't even charge me. I wish I'd found Peter long ago...thanks to Sako and Art at the Goodyear Dealership for recommending StuttCar for specialty work on Porsches! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU AT HOUSE AUTOMOTIVE! Thanks Peter! You will be taking care of my 911 from now on. Jeanine Robért 12-8-2016 read more

I dont normally do reviews here because I am too busy. But this time, I have to make time for these guys. They earned this review. This is a family owned business. That alone should say enough on the quality of work that they do. Like any old school family business, They take extra care of their customers and goes above and beyond of what is necessary. I sincerely believe that any successful business is run by people who love what they do and make an honest living doing it. That is Peter for you. These cars are his passion. Fixing them is what makes him happy. You can see it in his eyes. My Porsche is giving me some growing pains which is normal for the first few months of ownership when buying a used high mileage car. I purchased the car at a Lexus Dealer without them disclosing what was wrong with the car. After driving off the lot for 10 miles, Check Engine light went on. Funny how it didnt came on while the test drive. They said that they have had the car inspected by a Porsche certified technician in the Valley and has done many work on it to bring it up to speed with maintenance. Some other Porsche Independent wanted to charge me $300 for diagnostics and an inspection. Really? $300 just to take a look at the car and see if there is anything wrong that you will also fix and I will pay for it? I called Peter by the recommendation of my trusted BMW Mechanic. He knew what was the issue of the car within minutes. So.... He did a full inspection of the car, Replaced the Throttle body, Did a complete service for $730 out the door. Could have been less but I had to use my credit card which added 3%. For real? Brand New original Porsche Throttle body and other parts for a service for $730 out the door? Today while driving my car from Glendale to Diamond bar, I felt that the steering is noisy. I knew there was something wrong with the power steering so i decided to stop by Peter and make sure i am not running dry. He took the time to test drive the car. Took a look at the fluid, found out it was a tad low, filled it up and gave the thumbs up. I asked how much... He said "nothing, you should go in the mountains and do come curves!" lol. I am telling you. This husband and wife team... simply amazing. No other Mechanic will touch my Porsche Cayman and all the Porsche cars that I will buy form now till eternity. read more

If you're looking for an HONEST mechanic.. Peter at Stuttcar is the guy to go to. When I first bought my Porsche a couple of years ago from a used car dealer, someone on a forum recommended Peter to me so I can get PPI done. Took the car to him, and he spent a good hour and half looking the car over, checking piston compressions, lifting the car, etc etc. Ever since buying the porsche, I've been taking it to him. He has great pricing, will give you options (porsche parts vs. OEM) of pricing and give you his honest opinion (usually the cheaper OEM parts) and he'll never try to make any "extra" money off of you. He's been working on porsches for a VERY long time and his work and knowledge are commendable. I wanted to install an FM modulator while keeping the original head unit, he did a super clean install, wiring it to the main power source so I'd never have to worry about it, hid the unit behind the center console, and left only the wire to connect my iPhone. Have been going to him for oil changes as well. Uses only full synthetic mobil 1, doesn't charge up the wazoo, and is timely. I wanted to do a full tune up, tranny oil change, belts, etc. I called the Rusnak dealer in pasadena, I was quoted to about $1500. Peter did the exact same job using the same parts for $650 out the door. Why am I raving about him? I have ZERO monetary/financial interest with him or the company. Because he is honest, personable and does such an amazing job without stealing from your wallet, I want the word to get out to give him more business. He deserves it. If you go to him, you will NOT regret it. 5 stars, NO ifs or buts. You NEED Peter for your Pcar. edit: forgot to mention his personality. Great guy and super nice. Also, his wife Angie works with him (does his admin stuff) and she is also super nice. Once for an oil change, he let me borrow his minivan to go hang at starbucks. Who does that? Peter does. He goes the extra mile. One of a kind. read more

I live in West LA, and drove out to Pasadena on the recommendation of a co-worker. All I can say is that, as long as I live in Southern California, I am never going to another mechanic. I took my 2006 BMW to Peter at StuttCar, and even though he specializes in Porsche autos, he did a great job fixing the many problems my car was having, including an engine malfunction and a window mechanism that broke. Other mechanics and dealerships quoted me $1,000 plus for the repairs, and Peter did the whole thing for $250. He showed me the broken parts, exactly what HE paid for the new parts, didn't round up to the nearest hour for labor, AND he even apologized for not washing my car before giving it back (because he was so busy that day). He even spent an extra 15 minutes reprogramming my window controller (time he didn't charge me for). On my way out, he stopped me and told me that he lifted my car (even though he didn't have to for these repairs) to give my suspension, brakes, tire pressure, and transmission, a free checkup and told me that I should know that it all looked fine. Hands-down the most friendly, honest, thorough, and affordable mechanic I have ever been to. read more

I find myself being like a couple people here. I'm not one to usually write reviews but had to make an exemption for Stuttcar. Peter is a master at his craft and hands-down one of the most honest people let alone mechanics I have ever come across. I've worked on motorcycles so I'm mechanically inclined but when it comes to relatively new Porsches like my Cayenne S I'm weary of the electrical and Hitech aspects. Peter and Angie were upfront with everything that had to be done, efficient with their work and didn't give me any run-arounds on ANYTHING. I had my coolant tank reservoir changed and Peter even went out of his way and put in an extra quart of oil and windshield washer fluid just because he saw it was a little low at no cost since it was a day before Xmas eve. This is a rare business that believes in paying it forward and turning porsche owner people into long term clients with their fantastic customer service. If you want to support a small local business with integrity and a personal touch, look no further I've found mine for my current Porsche and any future Porsches I may have no matter where I move to within the LA area. read more

I been through a lots of cars in the past and deal with a lots of different shops and mechanics over the years, I must say Peter and Angela are the nicest and most through people I have ever worked with. I brought my 1999 C4 in for some clutch and other issues. They took the time to listen to my problems and went though and checked EVERYTHING one by one and provided a detailed write up quotation for parts and labor and went thought it again with me over the phone. Their pricing for labor and parts are very fair (cheap) for the amount of work involved. At the end of he day, I decided to hold off on the repair and sit on it for a while. Went back to pick up my car and they were still very polite and didn't even charge me anything for the inspection. They have truly earned my business! I recommend anyone with a Porsche to send them your car. Thank you Peter and Angela! read more

StuttCar Service - Dropping off my car this morning - Auto Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is hands down the best Porsche service in Pasadena. Peter knows his stuff. He put a new clutch and IMS bearing in my 1999 911. Car drives amazing now and is always trying to save you money. He even came in on a Saturday to finish my car. Also had an overheating issue which he found out was just the cap for the coolant. Only changed me to replace the cap. Super honest and fast. Can't recommend enough. read more

Peter is the man! I am a very picky person when it comes down to my cars. I have own multiple porsches and other german cars, i used to do service and light repairs myself, but ever since I moved to socal I just simply doesnt have the time for it anymore. Having to work on german cars , I can separate experience mechanics from the average on the spot, Peter is a top class mechanic. Honesty is also one other thing that keeps me coming back to Peter. Peter is your guy for your porsches, period! - 2002 911 turbo lightly modded, has been a customer since 2010 and never got dissapointed. read more
