I contacted Stuttgart Southwest and was able to be fit into the schedule right away. I had previously gotten work done there about 3 years ago, that's when I got the pleasure to meet Jack and Marcos. Fast forward 3 years had a similar issue to the first one and Marcos who is the new face of SSW took me in without hesitation. Marcos identified the problem with the Alternator and ordered an fixed it. When I got home the coil failed and he came to fix the coil at my residence. Marcos always goes above and beyond to help me out. Highly recommend going to them for any aircooled Porsche needs read more

I smelled oil and heard of Stuttgart SW from a friend that it was excellent and cheaper than a Porsche dealer. I just dropped in without calling. Marcos the owner welcomed me and immediately put my car on a lift as he and one his Porsche trained techs inspected it and found hidden behind panels of a failed air oil separator. Marcos didn't charge me for this quick diagnosis. I guarantee you any Porsche dealer or specialists would have a charge. Needles to say Stuttgart SW got my business and Rose communicated progress more than I ever had from any service provider. If you're looking for a place for your Porsche repairs this is it! read more

Marcos and his team has always gone above and beyond the call of duty. I always have an amazing experience at Stuttgart Southwest. From the moment I walked in, the staff were friendly and helpful. Rose made the whole process smooth, ensuring I felt comfortable throughout. The customer service was top-notch, and I'll be returning! read more

Jack isn't there anymore and the "Shop will be run differently" a direct quote from I'm assuming the new owner. ALL of these positive prior reviews are for the Stuttgart that Jack ran, one of the most honest mechanics I have ever met. Now, well, I'm not sure. I didn't have a good experience, and declined them working on the car, or i guess they declined me. Either way, Jack isn't there anymore, sad day for Porsche enthusiasts in the valley. I hope the new owner good luck, he has major shoes to fill. read more

Jack and the team are trusted mechanics. They are honest and reasonable. They have taken care of us for years. Thank you

Jack and his team are the greatest. Took care of my car at reasonable cost and went the extra mile to look for other issues when the engine was out. Could not be happier. read more

Jack is awesome and reasonably priced, and has been in business fixing Porsches for many years

Jack is the real deal. He helped me out to figure out what codes my 911 was firing even though he was completely booked out for weeks. I wouldn't go elsewhere for my 911. read more

So impressed with this shop! The employees are so friendly and personable, and so honest. This is my first time here and while this is a no-frills shop by any means it is the most knowledgeable for the Porsche brand and it's mechanics. Thank you Arnold! For inspiring my confidence and trust. read more

I am extremely satisfied with all the repairs and services that Stuttgart Southwest has performed on my 2005 Porsche 911S over the last several years. Every time that I brought my car in for service Jack (the owner) explain every aspect of the repairs that needed to be performed. Never tried to oversell and prices are considerably better than the dealer. I had my car in for an oil change, broken door handle and an intermittent off Idle hesitation when rapidly pressing the throttle wide open. They were unable to find any fault code in the computer that was causing the issue. I installed a Fabspeed air intake system a while back that he thought that the intake could be causing the issue or mass airflow sensor. He suggested that I reinstall the factory intake as the aftermarket intake is great for the track but not good for daily driving and the 110° heat in Phoenix. I reinstalled the factory air intake as suggested and car is running great again. They are the best auto repair shop I ever used! read more

I can't believe no one has reviewed Stuttgart Southwest on Yelp, but I am honored to be the first. I was referred to Jack Doverspike, owner of Stuttgart Southwest, when I was trying to track down an obscure Porsche factory tool. I thought maybe he'd have a lead on where I could get one over-nighted (I think I was trying to get my 911 Carrera put back together before the Monterey Historic or something like that). When I asked him about the tool, he said, "Oh yeah, hard to get, very expensive, you'll only need it once or twice in your life, etc." and as he was showing me what it looked like, he said something like, "Oh, what the hell, just take it for the weekend ... bring it back Monday or I'll track you down." This is by no means a suggestion that Stuttgart Southwest will loan you tools ... but more of a testimony as to the character of Jack Doverspike (please don't ask him to borrow any tools ... as he may cuss you out and eject you from his shop ;^) I never had my car serviced at his shop (I am an idiotic DIYer) but knew a dozen guys who could not survive with out him and his team of professionals. P-car owners the world over rely on him for his expertise, experience and advice. There are dozens and dozens of reviews of his shop on other forums and I've yet to run across one that was negative. He _did_ conduct an honest PPI on one of my cars that was going to a guy in California. The leak down on one of the cylinders was not quite what the prospective buyer wanted it to be (though certainly not anything to be alarmed about, Jack said) but the buyer was still scared away. No big deal ... I would rather Jack maintain the impeccable reputation of his shop than try to help me sell a car. There was no question about whether he would "fudge" the numbers to my benefit (nor would I have expected him to). I can't stay enough about him and his team of professionals. You may need to make an appt. way, way in advance, but it's worth it. read more

Jack & crew, are really really the tops. Service, prices and the knowledge and the fact that they really care is hard to find these days. I have a dealer 3 miles from my house and i drive 22 miles one way to have Jack and crew work on my car. Always extremely happy !! G Bowers read more

Absolutely fantastic in every way from technical service to customer service. I have a '56 Porsche Speedster replica and have been coming here since 2016. I will never take the car anywhere else, Jack and his team are honest, knowledgeable, efficient, and accommodating. read more

I have a 2008 Cayenne SUV with less than 53000 miles, Last week, I was driving in from California when my car started losing power randomly on the freeway right outside of Phoenix. Now I'm here for the delivery of my son (via surrogacy) and I love this car as it has a special bond with someone I lost, hence the reason we've kept this car for so long though it almost never gets driven and the reason I drove the car here. Being a developer, I've learned that cheap work comes back to bite you and throws you into more trouble. Being a dentist, I know that reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as some bad businesses generate or entice good reviews. When I called several people around, most didn't deal with Porsches (and I was not fully committed to taking the car to the Porsche dealer as I knew the repair bill would be several thousand and the turnaround could be long), but I was directed to Stuttgart by another mechanic and also by my own research and I'm very glad I went to them. First thing first, Jack is an amazing person and the kind of honest person that is a pleasure to deal with. He correctly guessed what was wrong with my car over the phone, asked me about my timeline and once he knew it was my son's delivery that morning, he said he would try to move me in and out real quick. I dropped the car in the morning, Arnold diagnosed and repaired the faulty fuel pump, and they also called and told me some other service issues that had not been taken care of which I authorized. They replaced the spark plugs, air filters, and oil change and had the car ready by 4 pm the same day, but I did not pick it up until the next day because I was in heaven that day with my new bundle of joy. When I went to pick up the car, the price for everything was very fair and the repairs were done correctly. I'm glad I came across Jack and Arnold last week and my son, my mom, and I all thank you guys for the honest and quality work you did. May more people stumble to you guys for their Porsche repairs. Things happen for a reason and your business reaffirms that good people are all around us. Thank you! read more

Quality work and quality service. Jack's shop recently upgraded my IMS bearing on my 996, along with a new clutch,RMS, and spark plug cable tubes. I was very happy with the service and the fact I was able to stop by and see everything apart. I also think Jack is as concerned about how much you are spending on your project as you are. I will be one of Stuttgart Southwest's repeat customers from now on. read more

An exceedingly rare example of a mechanic you can put your 100% trust in. Jack will go out of his way to do it right with the least money coming out of pocket. I had my older Porsche as a daily driver for 5 years, and he's helped me out with rides, tows, etc. You'll never have to worry about add-on maintenance as an upsell or questionable practices. All the mechanics are great too! read more

I cant say enough about Jack and his team. They know the porsche inside and out like they designed and built each model personally. I love these guys! read more

Jack, is the owner. He's always done great work for me at a great price. I took my car to Scottsdale Porsche once and wasn't happy with the service. Came here and got great service. He also wont do work that doesn't need to be done. He is usually super busy though, I had to wait about a week to get in. I wont go anywhere else! read more

Stuttgart Southwest - Body Shops Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I have used jack's shop for twenty years. Jack and his team have serviced seven of my Porsches over that time - I trust them completely to maintain and repair my cars. if I could give them ten stars I would. You should feel at ease taking your car there. The fact there always are cars there indicates how loyal his customer base is. They are incredibly friendly and Jack makes it a point to get to know you. Well done Jack and team! read more

Has been a family favorite. Many years ago my car had some damage from someone backing into it in a parking lot. I ran around to 9 different auto body shops and after talking with everyone I picked this place. They were not the cheapest or the most expensive. What I liked was that they were going to do the job right. My back corner panel needed to be repainted. They had my rear backseat window removed to make sure I wouldn't have any paint peeling years later. Last month I was involved in an accident from someone rearending me on the freeway. Right away I knew where I wanted to take it. My car is there now and when I get it back I will be adding some pictures. They are honest and do a great job. I have recommended this place to many people they are always happy. Highly recommend Stuttgart Southwest if you are ever in need of auto body repair. read more

I was recommended to Jack with my first Porsche eight years ago. I have been a constant customer of Jack's his work has been exceptional at a very reasonable price. read more

I have taken my Porsche here several times. They do an outstanding job and there prices are reasonable. Jack is the nicest guy in the world and he always told me when something can be fixed myself instead of me paying out of pocket, read more

Phil fixed my Mercedes sl and it looks like new. Can't tell I ever had a problem! Paint is perfect and it was not when it went in.

I've done business with Jack at Stuttgart Southwest since 1998. During that time, he's had many opportunities to cheat me out of thousands of dollars. Never. Happened. I'd be expecting... an engine rebuild. And get a call from a very cheery Jack, telling me the "Good news! It's only a... [insert weird German part here]." Order of magnitude less expensive. Honesty, in this case, is worth tens of thousands of dollars. I can and frequently do work on my own cars, but when it's over my head, or I have no time, they go to Jack. Now, on to the body shop. Phil is the manager there, and he's magical. Bent and broken things wind up coming out better than they were when they went in. People take their high end Porsches and Mercedes and classic cars (one was a pro baseball player's pride and joy) to him for *restoration* and *modification* - not just collision repair - and that is a HUGE difference from the run of the mill "fender knocker" place. If you have a vehicle of ANY make or model, and you really care that the vehicle gets fixed RIGHT, this is the place. Stop by his shop (always some nice cars), and see the wall full of Christmas cards from decades of customers who appreciate Jack's service, and consider him a friend. read more

If I could give Jack's shop more than 5 stars I would! I have been looking my entire life to buy an air cooled 911, particularly one from 1977. Only in the last few years has the acquisition become possible for me. During these last few years, I read reviews on the best shops in Phoenix/Tempe/Scottsdale and I found Stuttgart Southwest. I called this place at least 4 times and asked questions about prospective cars I found online or on Craigslist. EACH time, Jack, the owner, would answer all my questions, tell me his honest opinion and I never gave them an ounce of business or even met him. To a complete stranger on the phone he gave his time and actually told me what he thought at no charge...repeatedly. I was so impressed by his willingness to provide me, someone he never met, guidance, that I was adamant that when I did buy my car I would bring it to him. That was the BEST thing I could have done. I recently bought the car of my dreams and I finally got to meet Jack and his amazing team of specialists. They provided me with a four hour inspection of my car, at a very reasonable price (I know pricing because on the East Coast I used to race and pay to get air cooled Porsche race cars repaired with my brother), and gave me a completely thorough and detailed breakdown of every aspect of my car. Peace of mind has never been more of an understatement. Each member of the team met with me and told me what they thought...Cliff, John, Phil, and Jack himself. These guys are truly experts and the passion they have for Porsche comes through in their work. I purchased the car and had some work done on it (fuel lines re-done, vacuum hose to break booster fixed, clutch/915 gear box adjustment, cigarette lighter fixed, a small rubber piece re-glued to the door jam) and I could not be happier. I drove the car to California and it drove like a charm. And if that wasn't enough, Jack gave me his phone number in case anything did actually happen. So, as I said earlier, if I could give this gem in Tempe more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!! read more

Without Jack and the team at Stuttgart Southwest it would be nearly impossible to own an out of warranty Porsche. Jack is honest, helpful, and a trusted advisor. The work is done right with consideration toward cost of ownership. He will tell you exactly "how it is". If you own a Porsche and aren't working with Stuttgart Southwest you are wasting money and time. read more

I have an Acura TSX and the bumper on my car came loose. We went to a body shop certified for Honda in the area and they said it would cost $800. I came in to get a quote from Stuttgart and they fully explained the problem/showed exactly what they were going to do at a much lower cost. They were super helpful and Phil is unlike any other mechanic I've worked with. I would definitely recommend them. read more

The team at Stuttgart is second to none, Jack helped me through an inspection on an 86 911 and took his time with me to show me the ropes - for it was my first go in the porsche world. They fixed some items right after I purchased the car, did an amazing job, and were very fair with their pricing. My only wish is that they were closer to Southern California, the shipping cost might just be worth it! read more

Jack is the man. Came to my house to pick up my friend's 964 which I couldn't get to shift gears (Jack could, FYI). Nicest guy. If you live in the Phoenix area and need your 9'er worked on, Jack's your man. read more

So, after about a month, I called Jack to thank him again. He not only remembered the car but me too. Really a great guy and very knowledgeable. Great shop and excellent service. Thank you. read more

Can't say enough about this place. Jack and his team are honest business owners and enthusiasts who take the time to understand what you are trying to accomplish with your car. Wether you are restoring or maintaining a driver this is the place to go. Will be using them for all my Porsche needs in the future. read more

If you have a Porsche, particularly an older one, and you're in the market for a quality repair shop look no further. My family has two 911's a 1987 cabriolet and an 05' 997 coupe, both have been cared for by the team at Stuttgart SW for several years now and we would go absolutely nowhere else is the Phoenix metro area. Jack and his team are honest, dependable, and come highly recommended (we learned about this shop via word of mouth). If you're curious as to the quality of the work, drive by the shop and look at the cars on the lot or in those service bays, Porsches from all eras line the parking lot. read more

Great body shop! I took my Toyota here after a terrible experience at the dealer and because I saw they had good yelp reviews. Phil was so attentive and helpful - he looked at the problem right away, helped me understand what was happening and explained the safety impact of the issue. Had to bring my car back two times for everything to be done because of the shipment of parts but he always worked on it right away and quick. I'd definitely come back here and recommend it! read more

Constantly great service and great price! As with any successful business, they are busy and I advise making an appointment sooner than later. Happy driving! read more

Jack is the man. I was on a trip travelling across the United States in my 1980 Porsche 924 turbo. When we arrived in Pheonix the car was acting up after driving for 13 hours and bombing it down the mountain range after Holbrook at 100 miles an hour, and we didn't get pulled over or else I'd probably be in jail right now. Anyway, we realized that we had a fuel leak coming from the fuel tank connection to the tubing that goes to the fuel nozzle. Anyway, we called immediately after a recommendation from the first garage we found on Google. When we called Jack picked up the phone and told us to come in right away even though he was "so busy right now, we've got so much going on." When we arrived we were amazed at how many Porsches there were in the lot, every single Porsche that I've dreamed about owning was sitting in the lot, they had 930 slantnoses, 911 Carreras out the yingyang and a ton of other vintage classics. Jack said the same thing about being busy but immediately took a look at our car because he said that fuel leaks are a serious problem and that he knew we were desperate. He put the car up, and knew how to fix the problem immediately by tightening the o ring that binds the tubing and fuel pump together, he didn't even charge us, he told us good luck, gave us some tips on where to visit in California, and we were off. This was one of the most positive mechanic experiences I've ever had!!!! The best place in Phoenix for Porsches for sure!!!!! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stuttgart. I have known Jack for over 10 years now and can wholeheartedly say he has to be one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever met. Another post above stated it well saying that he cares about the cost almost as much as the customer does. I have always felt that as well. His fees are always less than the dealership and always higher quality and workmanship. In a car repair world where you rarely trust the mechanic this is truly the opposite of that. Jack is the best. Actually my car is currently in his body shop which Phil runs, I have no doubt my care will be stellar. I only wish there was a 6 star option in this yelp review. Thank you Jack for your years of service and friendship. read more

Jack is simply the most honest mechanic! He has been servicing my Boxster and has always done an excellent job at a reasonable price. When my convertible top broke awhile back, he was able to fix it for significantly less than the dealer. It's great to visit his shop to see so many Porsche's from all different years. If you own a Porsche, don't take it anywhere else! read more

I recently purchased a Porsche Boxster from a great dealer in Texas. The car looked terrific but I was unsure about whether it would need to have the IMS bearing replaced. If this bearing fails it probably will destroy the motor. I negotiated a fair purchase price knowing that it might need this repair. I immediately took the Boxster to Stuttgart SW to have it checked out. It did need the bearing replaced as was evidenced by the fact that there were some metal particles trapped in the oil filter. I had Jack's crew go through the car from front to back replacing or repairing anything that needed work. I spent less than it would cost to replace an entire engine and am now confident that I should be trouble free for at least 50,000 miles. It was great finding a shop that was so good at Porsche service. From my own experience I will say that this has to be Stuttgart is the only Porsche shop that I will ever use for future work, from oil change to ???? read more
