First off, I was referred to Peter Fazekas from Porsche Club of America; the San Gabriel Valley Region. I will say that I will come to Peter to have him do all service repairs for my Porsche. Angie was very accommodating in having Peter inspect the car which literally took about 2-3 minutes. I brought my Porsche in because of the reading on my dash to "Repair Brakes." Peter said that all I need to do is replace the front brake pads and resurface the rotors. The other local shops wanted to replace the pads and replace the rotors! Peter said after the resurface, the rotors should have about another 3k miles left before replacement. Peter knows Porsche and I trust him and he;s quite an honest mechanic. After he worked on my car, he advised that I get my front tire replaced.... Which I did. 5 stars all the way. Very honest and quite a gentleman. read more

Terrific Customer Service. Brought a 1988 Carrera for a major service and to have the shocks replaced. Peter and Angie explained all the items they recommended be serviced and/ or replaced including the parts cost and labor. They are honest in telling you what is recommended to be done now and what could wait. In addition to the service and replacement items, Peter went out of his way to do service on some minor items at no charge did a wonderful job of cleaning up the car. The car drives and shifts even better than when I brought it in. I feel confident in the work performed and the extensive knowledge and experience of the mechanics. Please call for an appointment as the shop is very busy. It took me almost 3 weeks to get an appointment, but well worth it and will trust these guys to all of my service. read more

Peter is knowleable, easy to work with, responsible What more do I have to say. I had so much problem with my 10 years old porche, until I met peter. Now my car runs like a chime. read more

For the first time I didn't feel taken advantage of by a mechanic. It's a tough life for a women with car problems in this town! But I had nothing but good vibes from these guys. They had my car done fast and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg! Ps. I don't have a Porsche. read more

Don't be fooled by the look of the shop. Peter is the best Porsche technician I have ever had. After I had years of terrible experience with Rusnak, I asked many other local Porsche owners and many recommended Peter. He is so knowledgeable that surprises me. Besides, he always tries to help. He helped repair and tune my 1985 Targa, and gears, breaks and gas became so smooth to drive. I was so satisfied. After that, I started to bring all my other new and classic Porsches to him. He is great. The only problem is he is so busy, appointments need to be scheduled at least one month ahead. read more

I have been going to Peter since he was at another shop. He knows Porsches better than most Mechanics. As for the Temperamental 993 model he is a Magician, he solved aCheck Engine Light issue. He also is honest and fair. read more

If you own a German auto, Peter Fazekas of Stuttcar Service is the man to see. You won't find a more down-to-earth, friendly and honest mechanic than Peter. He is a Porsche-trained mechanic but is extremely proficient with all the German makes. He does quality work and his labor rate is so affordable it's almost unbelievable. He takes the time to explain and show what was done. Although I brought him a part to install, he needed to purchase an additional part to complete the job. The part he purchased cost 33% less than dealer cost. If you're looking for a great independent mechanic for your German auto, or looking for someone to talk German autos with or admire great looking Porsche's, stop by Stuttcar Service. read more

Another year went by and my car was due for a 40K interim service. I made an appointment with Angie 3 weeks in advance and once again, Peter finished the job in time and even did a little extra work without charging me. Two thumbs up!!! read more

I have gone to the other Porsche shops on the same street and I gotta say, this is the only shop I've been going to ever since I found it, won't go back to the others. Especially if you have the older air cooled Porsches, this is the shop to go to. The popular shop nearby has no clue what to do when it comes to these older cars, so they just wing it by trying to replace everything, on your dime!! Don't fall for it. I hated to write this review because it would mean that it will be an even longer wait to make an appointment, but what can I do? This shop's honesty and integrity saved me on tons! read more

StuttCar Service - Auto Repair Near Me - Pasadena, California

Just had the BEST experience ever imaginable at a mechanic today. I dropped off my M Roadster that had several serious issues diagnosed by The M Shop (nice people, but I never want to hear my mechanic panicking on the phone saying "he's never seen this before"). I was at a loss as to what to do, but then got referred to Peter by a friend. I'm so glad I did. As I sheepishly walked him through all the problems the car has he just smiled and said "no problem." The car had failed smog twice, even after I spent close to a grand at The M Shop trying to get it to do so. Peter had it passing in 30 minutes. And only charged me for the smog test. The glove box had also failed and was hanging almost to the floor. Again, The M Shop guys said "we've never seen one this bad, you've got to go to an interior specialist." Peter fixed it in 30 minutes. Or, I should say, only charged me 30 minutes labor to fix it. I'm never going to another mechanic as long as I live within driving distance. Thank you Peter! read more

Bad PPI. I chose stuttcar for their good yelp review and very disappointed with my PPI and services performed . I have send emails and texts and no reply from stuttcars. Before PPI , i was told they will inspect brakes life and later i found out brake rotors were never inspected as it should . I have ceramic brake (PCCB) rotors and was told by porsche dealership after i bought car that they were supposed to be removed and weight rotors which they did not do. And they also send me pics of some computer scan on different car. Bad service all around. I am sure this shop does a fine job and services but they sure dropped a bomb on my ppi. What a waste of time and money . Since they did not reply my texts and email I will contact my credit company and dispute this charge for sure read more

Peter is the best. He is very skillful, friendly, attentive and most importantly, he gets job done in no time. I highly recommend him.

I recently brought my 1999 Boxster to StuttCar for some major deferred maintenance and cannot sing enough praises of this shop. Peter is friendly, knowledgeable, skillful, and honest. From talking to him you immediately get the sense that he genuinely loves Porsches, which makes him exactly the kind of guy you want working on your baby. Two thumbs up! read more

Simply awesome. Looking forward to many years of friendship..Thank you Peter for being an honest and truthful human being..

If you are in Pasadena area and looking for Porsche repair, this will be your last stop. Forget about other independent Porsche, German repair. There are quite a few on walnut st but you can just "FORGET" them. My car was having problem with the radiator fan, someone quote me $1000 parts and labor. With StuttCar, Peter scanned it really quick for me and found out the fan is working but only need to replace the resistor. Which I ended up paying $200 out the door. Problem solved and never over heated again. I know we all have concerns, great price and knowledgeable! But we also need someone "HONEST" which Peter has it all. Lots of us think most of the independent Porsche repair cost way less than dealer, it sounds good but they also charge you an arm and a leg which you don't know unless you found the right shop. Couple days later I stopped by and ask Peter about the problem with the rear spoiler. He did a quick fix for me without charging me. When I said quick fix means he spent his time (while he is busy working on other cars) get a new set of wires and repair my spoiler problems. It did take him time but he will just focusing on his work and make sure I am happy with it. Most importantly - his "Smile". Great attitude! Trust me, before you take it to other places. Give him a call, stop by and let him diagnostic your car. I am 10000% you will satisfy. read more

If you own a Porsche, you should get to know Peter. He is extremely knowledgeable on all the models, is honest and fair in his dealings and besides that, is a really good guy. I took my 81sc to him for a major engine repair and he was fully transparent to what needed to be done and the costs involved. I am completely satisfied and couldn't recommend any shop higher than Peter's If you need work done right, take it to Stuttcar!!!! read more

If you're looking for a mean and dishonest mechanic, don't come here! The owner, Peter, is at the far end of the other spectrum. He is also extremely knowledgable, skillful, and passionate about Porsches. Before purchasing my 1968 911L in Pasadena yesterday, the seller told me that Peter at Stuttcar had worked on the car recently, and I should call him about any questions I might have. Knowing this, I gave Stuttcar a call about the car, in hopes they would even remember it. Peter got on the phone and knew exactly what car I was talking about, answered all of my questions, and even said I could bring it by that day to have him inspect the car for me. After speaking with Peter over the phone, he made me feel very confident to go ahead and purchase the car based on his answers and what he thought about the car itself. Of course the car was a boatload of money, but Peter was the one who tipped the scale far enough for me to pull the trigger on it. Soon after the purchase yesterday, I swung by Stuttcar to have Peter check it out for me before making the drive back home to San Francisco. There were a couple of minor problems and the car was running a little rough. Peter pinpointed the problems within 2 minutes and even spent the time to fix them for me on the spot! Afterwards, he said I should have no problems driving it up to its new home in San Francisco. I'm sitting here writing this review the very next day from San Francisco. Need I say more? :) I wish I lived in Pasadena just so I could have Stuttcar service my Porsche when in need! Thank you, Stuttcar, and Peter for everything! -Happy customer read more

I have been taking my car to Peter and Angie for about 5 years now. The shop is about 50 miles away from me and I pass Multiple shops to get there. They are honest, straightforward, and committed to their customers. It is absolutely worthwhile to go to this shop if you are looking for an honest and reasonable place you can trust! read more

Awesome place! Thank you Peter for the honest and great service! I will definitely recommend StuttCar service to all my Porsche friend.

Peter is the best! Such a pleasant guy too...He is very knowledgeable, honest, and the prices are great. Keep up the good work, Peter!

I was on the hunt for my first aircooled 911 Porsche earlier this year and StuttCar was recommended to me by a friend and my Audi mechanic. After finding a potential car, called Peter to try and schedule a PPI the next day as there were several people insterested in the car. Even though he was fully booked Peter made time for me to bring it in for a 3 hour PPI. After a thorough inspection/report I purchased the car greatly based upon his findings and professional opinion. The advice was stellar, the car is amazing and since purchasing it Peter has done all the servicing/upgrades to it. Including repairing oil leakes, new sway bars, new wheels, and brakes/rotors, with more to come! He has always been incredibly professional, reasonably priced, provided alternate cost effective solutions to what I have wanted to improve on the car and has always been ultra accomodating. I could not recommend Peter and Angie enough, the quality of thier work, knowledge, advice and customer service are absolutely top notch. read more

as a porsche enthusiast, one admires the carrera and certainly aims to preserve its integrity with routine service and preventive maintenance. i have visited other "porsche" shops in pasadena and on the same street as stuttcar, and i can say with the utmost of conviction peter and angie are hands down the best choice. i'm blessed to have two 993s and both are taken to stuttcar. although previously i've taken them to the two "other" shops nearby, including the local dealer, peter's knowledge and integrity about porsche is superb. once i compared pricing from stuttcar and the other two local shops for the exact same work to be performed, stuttcar was by far the best value. forget the dealer and other shops, you definitely won't find any better than stuttcar. peter and angie are wonderful to work with. many times peter takes the time to explain the work he did and show me what was done. perhaps silly since i'm not mechanically inclined, but i like that detail. they are honest, won't gouge you and friendly. highly recommended. read more

Peter is a good and honest mechanic. He has been taking care of my 2010 Boxster S for several years now. He is extremely reasonable. Very passionate about Porsches. Also, he always finds time to look at my car last-minute. I highly recommend his services. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I made time for this one. I brought my Cayman here upon noticing a little dampness on my carpet after a rain. Even though Peter was booked finishing cars up before the holidays he still took my car in and cleared the water drains. He refused to accept payment for the work since he said it was minor, even after I insisted on paying him. Peter is a very honest and friendly Porsche Specialist, and I'm happy to have found my go-to place for all my car needs! read more

Peter is super knowledgeable and his prices are incredibly reasonable. I had an awful experience two years ago with a Porsche independent service shop down the street, which made me hesitant to buy another Porsche. Luckily, my buddy found Stuttcar. After a pre-purchase inspection at Stuttcar, Peter let me know all issues with the 911 I was looking to purchase. I ended up purchasing the car and have taken it to Peter to fix all issues. He has replaced the coolant tank, replaced a window latch, replaced engine mounts, replaced lower control arms, programmed an extra key to the car, changed the oil, and replaced brake pads. He is 100 percent honest and shows great pride in his work. I will never take my Porsche to any other mechanic. read more

Peter is one of a kind. Nice, friendly, honest, extremely knowledgeable and experienced. His work is impeccable. I brought my 996TT for various minor and more significant maintenance work and was very satisfied each time. For one of my recent visits to the shop, Peter quoted me 2 hours of labor which was about right. He ended up spending three times as long because he wasn't fully satisfied with the work he did. Until he finally was happy with the quality of his work 6 hours later. I ended up being charged for what I was originally quoted (2 hours) despite the extra time he spent on the car. Peter and Angie are also very honest, and will never try to oversell anything. Do yourself a favor if you are a Porsche owner: go see Peter. He's just the best in town! read more

Took my 997 C4S cab for service and tires. Very thorough service at a more than a reasonable price. No overselling! Just EXCELLENT service! This is my Porsche service provider from now on. I have been to another Porsche repair service shop in the area but there is no comparison! read more

Took my 2007 carrera S in. The service consisted of a water pump replacement (precautionary), 40k mile equivalent service, brake flush, and installation of replacement TPMS sensors (sensors purchased from TireRack). Have been very satisfied with service so far. The owner is very knowledgeable of Porsches. Enjoyed talking to him. read more

Porsche specialist. Peter does not really need Yelp to survive. I bought my old 912 because I heard about him and I recommended him to all my friends that own a Porsche. It's cheap to go to see him because he is a specialist and knows what he does. read more

Quality work at a less unreasonable price than most Porsche repair folk. Patient explanation of what needs to be done now and what can wait a while, which is highly appreciated read more

Peter been servicing my Porsche for past 3 years. Great work, knows his stuff unlike the 3 or 4 shops in the area. Very reasonable on price and will tell you upfront if he can do it in time or not! read more

Every time I have problem with Porsches, Peter is the man! What else can I say !

Peter is an excellent Porsche Mechanic. He exudes confidence in his craft and delivers with fantastic results and fair rates. He worked on my 03' Porsche Boxster's vacuum leak and was able to diagnose and repair the problem in a day. When I drove the car home, a fuse blew out on the control module disabling my locking system. Peter diagnosed the problem and fixed it for me free of charge. If you need Porsche service, StuttCar is the place to go. read more

I've been using Peter for years, and I wouldn't trust my Porsche with anyone else. I've met a lot of mechanics, and Peter is the most honest wrench I've ever used. He knows his Porsches, but also knows all other German cars. Water cooled, air cooled- Peter is your man. read more

Peter is the man! Great customer service! He's always smiling and ready to answer whatever question/s you have. He will not rip you off like locals or the actual Porsche dealers. I will definitely come back here and you should too!!!!!!!!!! read more

Peter and Angie are the best. Period. Honest. Nice. Reasonable and knowledgable. Don't take your Porsche beast anywhere else.

I just got my 993 Turbo and had some issues with the instrument panel lights. I was looking for an independent Porsche mechanic who is honest and knowledgeable. I found this one from my searching at Yelp. And true enough, Peter knows his Porsche inside and out! He does a fantastic job and does it fast. He even test drove my car and checked everything. Highly recommended if you own a Porsche. read more

Very nice people that run this joint. Extremely knowledgeable on the vehicle being worked on but better yet, the rates are not even comparable to the competition. I was shocked to hear the total bill of the repairs needed for my car. He was close to 50% cheaper than every other shop I went to within the same vicinity! I will be coming back for sure! Only downside would be the long waiting list just get your car into their shop but it just goes to show how good they are. read more

Peter is the best Porsche mechanic hands down. Honest, reliable. Generally a great guy.

I am new porsche owner and I had quite a bit of work done to my 1985 911 by Peter after I bought it. He was very knowledgeable and sincere in his dealings with me. He really is an expert and does not take advantage of his customers - rather he treats them with absolute respect and honesty which is very refreshing for a mechanic. I was referred to Peter by several friends who own porsches and have their cars serviced by him. I would strongly recommend Peter to anyone in need of a porsche mechanic. You will not find one as knowledgeable, honest and affordable as Peter. read more
