Stay away from Truspeed Motorcars, and here`s a reason why.

With a limited supply of used Porsches in Seattle, shopping for one from here usually means looking at cars in other markets like LA. Having found a Porsche I liked there, the next step was to locate a dealer or find a knowledgeable Porsche repair shop to provide a pre purchase inspection commonly referred to as a PPI. The local Porsche Dealership was booked for weeks, so under the recommendation of the dea... view moreler I was purchasing from (I know, first mistake) I chose to have the car taken to the service department at Truspeed Motorcars. Yup, second mistake. It would seem from their website that Truspeed should know a thing or two about Porsches. However, their inspection missed at least $5,000 worth of immediate repairs right from the get go. Had I known about these issues, I would have skipped this particular car. Porsches are not cheap to maintain and high repair costs are part of owning a P-car, but $5k on top of the purchase of the car would have been nice to know ahead of time. That?ˆ™s why I hired Truspeed in the first place. Unfortunately for me, I flew from Seattle and was picked up by the selling dealer and had no time to really inspect the car myself. When I first looked at it, I was surprised that Truspeed had given it such a good recommendation, but since I thought they were reputable, I sucked it up and drove it home. Ugh, I should have listened to my gut and taken a cab back to the airport instead. When I made it home, I immediately took the Porsche to my mechanic who I?ˆ™ve been using for years (and really does know Porsches), and we immediately found so many things Truespeed missed that I had to just shake my head. I?ˆ™m not talking things that would have been difficult to notice either. We?ˆ™re talking things like rusted caliper bolts with cracks in them. Do they even have a rack at Truspeed? Anyway, if you need Porsche service, don?ˆ™t make the mistake of trusting Truspeed Motorcars service department like I did for any kind of expertise.
