A GENUINE Porsche indy shop. Owned and run by gearheads that know Porsche and performance. Nice mix of race experience guys, shop mechanics, fabricators, and design guys. I had 991.2 TTS tune and exhaust here. Great experience. Shop is spotless clean and organized the way you want to see a speed shop. No piles of junk laying around. Tim helped me choose the right tune and exhaust based on an obviously giant wealth of knowledge. Coming in there with 10 different ideas, he was patient narrowing down my choices based on questions he asked about driving style, frequency of a passenger, favorite local routes to drive, how close my neighbors live 😂😂 etc.This was my first visit to KMC based on a local recommendation from a friend but won’t be last. They’re dialed in to the daily driver and the track driver/team. Good mix for both kinds of P Car folks.Thankfully I can say goodbye to dealer now.

Excellent service on my 2001 911. Work was done as expected, timely and at a fair price. Very happy with the Team at KMC. Already scheduled a larger job for later this month. Staff was friendly and they love Porsche! Highly recommend.

Great experience. Tim worked on the used 2013 911 C4S I just bought. He was very thorough in his assessment of the vehicle and reasonable in the work he recommended done. He was very helpful in coordinating work by other service providers including driving the car to another shop for body work. I found his charges to be reasonable. He is super friendly and a pleasure to deal with. I will be using his services again for sure.

Dave and Tim were great in helping me with a particularly perplexing problem my Cayman had. Instead of just throwing parts at it they took the time to figure out what and why there was a problem happening. They spent far more time on it than a regular shop would have to make sure that I was happy with the result. I will definitely be bringing my Cayman back.

Ive used KMC in the past one time on a C7 Z06 for alignment and tires... Tim (the owner) didnt really work on those cars, but he did it anyway and did great. I recently purchased a Porsche Cayman Clubsport and Tim has completely gone through the car. He is a great person to do business with and I would highly recommend him for any work you need done... especially on a race car.

Awesome! I brought my recently purchased 1982 Porsche 928 to Tim in order to determine what was needed to get it running. Tim worked with me on puttng a punch list together that fit within my budget. Tim kept me in the loop as to the progress and any surprises. In the end, Tim and his team were able to get the car running great. Absolutely satisfied with my experience. I will not take my 928 to any other place.

These guys are fantastic! They are professional, thorough, skilled and honest. I have a 1996 993 Porsche Targa and know little about whats under the hood. I have taken it to several dealers and private shops all over NH. They took months, giving me excuses, charging me crazy amounts of money and sadly never really fixed any issues. Im willing to maintain the car and accept any repairs needed to keep it a beautiful classic car. I finally realized I was taking it to service facilities that are under staffed with kids that are barely trained to work on new or newer cars. Mine is a classic. An amazing classic that needs someone like Tim to look after it. I was lucky to find him and his crew this summer. My car drives the best ever after leaving his garage. Thank you Tim!Nancie

Secret spot in the Merrimack Valley for top notch high end automotive service. Tim and his crew are exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. The shop is supper clean and organized. An amazing array of classic sports cars from various manufactures can be found on site at any time. The work they performed on my 2008 Porsche was top notch.

Tim and Dave did a great job getting my 968 ready for the season.Very comprehensive work (including fabricating a custom tool to repair my unobtainium aftermarket control arms).

Absolutely amazing experience. I have to thank Jason for making a very scary purchase everything but scary. I purchased a 1995 Ferrari unseen. Jason was very honest from day one about any needs the car had. Sent pictures showing me the two issues and got them both fixed prior to sale. In addition he worked closely with me to get an independent inspection that I set up and made sure to have the car at the location (not near his site) when it was expected. Despite a perfect inspection they felt the Battery was on its last leg. That said Jason did not question and replaced it with an interstate battery at no charge. He also assisted in working with the transportation company to get the car shipped across country. You cant find this type of service very often. I will definitely recommend Kachel Motor Company to everyone I know looking for that special high end car and I expect to purchase from Jason again. Ed*Ed travels 250+ days per year and was gracious enough to draft this review and send it to me to post on his behalf.

I met Tim and his team at a track event while I had a mechanical issue. They got me back on track and they have been servicing my car since then. They are all excellent at what they do, meticulous and detail oriented. When my car leaves their shop, I am confident it will run. Great service, very user friendly, responsive and easy to work with. Overall, this is an excellent team that can provide track support and can also take care of your daily driver. Highly recommended.

Tim and his staff are all top professionals in their field and do marvelous work in every aspect of mechanical repair. They run a clean efficient shop and are the nicest group of people you will ever work with. Cheers.

Tim and his team have worked on both my Porsche 356 and 993. Competent on both cars. What most impressed me is the how clean the shop-tools are. Great place to have your car worked on. Great mechanics. The entire team know a lot about cars. Check with Tim about working on a (High End Sports Car).....you will not be disappointed. Also try to attend one of their Open Houses ........

I highly recommend Tim and the team at Kachel Motor Company. They have been helping me maintain my Porsche GT2 and make it safe and fast for the track. The first impression one has upon entering their facility is how clean and well organized it is. You could eat off the floors and any surface. Each tool, part, car, work area has its place. Their attention to detail is second to none, and their custom work, from exhausts to roll cages, fuel cells etc is a work of art. Whether your car is a daily driver or a dedicated track/race car, I bet Kachel can take care of you. And if you long for a new ride, talk to Jason. He has some beautiful cars for sale in his showroom and can help you find your dream car as well. Stop by if youre in the area. Its worth it just to see the place.

I was referred to Kachel by a neighbor a couple of years ago and I would rate every visit as excellent.I bought a 1984 Porsche Carrera three years ago and the car needed some sorting out. After having work done by several other local Porsche mechanics I settled on Kachel for several reasons. Theyre very knowledgeable about the cars they work on, they listen to what you want to accomplish and help to develop a plan and theyre fairly priced. Ive had great success with Kachel and would highly recommend them.

Very easy to work with. They did a fast and profession job on my Porsche suspension project.

I started using KMC to service my track vehicle last year after witnessing their dedication to other customers in my club. There is substantial competition in the area but Tims company stands out above the rest. Everyone at the shop is professional, knowledgeable and personable. Their attention to detail and getting the job done right makes all the difference. You couldnt ask for someone better to service your track toys and I feel safer knowing that a company that really cares is taking care of them.

Tim and his crew at KMC are one of the few shops I trust to work on my BMW M4 & M2. Technically capable, very knowledgeable, and they treat your car as you would treat it - even when no one is looking. Highly recommended.

Tim and his crew are all top shelf. Even though this is a for profit business, they also put the customers needs before the dollar when appropriate and reasonable. My most recent experience was me trying to replace a slave cylinder in a 997S. If you have ever done this, you know what a pain it is. I called KMC twice for some guidance, both Ed and Dave were more than willing to help me over the phone. Any other shop would tell me I needed to bring the car in, which would require a flatbed. Long story short, after receiving there advice, it took me less than an hour to install the slave cylinder. They also helped me a DE events before I became their customer. Great group of people.

If you want your high end vehicle taken care of properly, Tim and his staff of knowledgeable and experienced automotive artisans at KMC are where you need to go!They care about your needs and work with you to ensure your prized position(s) is repaired or maintained to the exacting standards from which it was engineered.One visit and you will know what I mean!

I have had unbelievably pleasant experiences time and again with Kachel Motor Company. They have worked on my cars for a variety of reasons for over two years now and every promise made was delivered upon. The work performed has ranged anywhere from modifying my sports car - getting it track ready - to replacing rotors and brakes on my familys daily drives. All of the work has been done at a top notch and professional level.The knowledge and experience the guys at Kachel Motor possess in the aggregate is what sets them apart. I frequently and ambitiously recommended to my colleagues, friends and peers that they visit Kachel Motor and talk to the guys there prior to going anywhere else for their automobile needs. Many of them have taken me up on the recommendation and reported back how happy they were with their experience there.

A gear-head would feel right at home at KMC Auto! Tim and his team are top-notch when it comes to their knowledge and expertise. These guys are trustworthy, fair and are truly dedicated to their work. I recommend them without reservation for anything ranging from classic car restoration and track car maintenance/upgrades to new car repairs.

I drive a top-of-the line Porsche that sees a lot of track time. I depend on KMC to perform frequent service and maintenance to keep the car performing at its best on the track. The guys are totally honest and trustworthy, and they are meticulous in the work they do. On the track, I have complete trust in the mechanical soundness of the car and my safety in the car, which is perhaps the most important consideration. I dont trust anyone else to work on the car any more.

Tim and his shop completed a very complicated fabrication/restoration job on my RSAs drivers seat floor contact points, which had deteriorated from age and the stresses of track use. Tim always took the time and over-communicated throughout the whole process, which was nice. Great experience.

KMC was a great find for me. Tim and his team were very helpful and spent time understanding my needs (as opposed to telling me what they thought should be done). The custom SS exhaust Tim built for my 99 Porsche 996 track car is a work of art as one friend described it. Highly recommended for those that love their Porsche and want some smart performance enhancements!

I have nothing but good things to say about Tim and his team at Kachel Motors. I was referred to them when my former mechanic told me my Audis engine was going to seize and recommended I quickly sell the car. Tim, after listening carefully to the details I shared, correctly surmised that it may just a code error and wanted to run some additional tests. It turned out the engine was fine and Ive been getting my car serviced there ever since. The only downside is that youll be completely distracted by the various porches, ferraris, etc.

Bought a car from Jason. Great to work with from start to finish. Helped with the transport of the car. Communication was always timely and pleasant. Thanks for the great experience.

Great company, run by true professionals. Their work on my car was top notch and beautifully done. These guys are the best!

These folks are top notch. Ive been searching for a 10 year Porsche, I got on the phone with Jason asking about a car he had coming for sale. Over the course of time, he gave me tons of time, with no specific gain. He shared his knowledge, experience and feedback to guide me to a clear path on the car hunt.Being from the Midwest, I will most likely not have a chance to do business with Jason and his team. But would give them the highest marks with their willingness to help, regardless to what they get out of it.This is the type of business I search for. Way to go KMC!!!

I love Tim, Edwin and the guys at KMC. I bought a 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 5 years ago and brought it to them to check it out. They gave me a thorough analysis of the state of the car and a schedule and timetable of what needs to get fixed urgently and what could wait.I bring my car back for a service every 6 months and couldnt be happier - spotless workshop, amazing passion and expertise in Porsches (I counted at least a dozen in the shop last month) and always happy to share free tips and advice.Check them out and support a business in Lawrence - its worth it for so many reasons!

Ive had a great experience with the car I bought from KMC in addition to lots of valuable advice before I even spent dollar one with them. Extremely meticulous work. I could eat off those floors!

Tim and the whole crew at KMC are absolutely top-notch professionals and are a pleasure to work with. Look - I am literally putting my life in their hands because they prepare, service, and inspect my car prior to my participation in track days, and I can truly say that I recommend them and their work to anyone seeking top-level service on their vehicles at reasonable prices.

A bit off the normal path for most patrons of Kachels but I bought a beautiful Ducati Multistrada 1200S from Tim and man, what a class act these guys are! Spotless shop, quality work clearly evident on the several sweet cars they have in for work... All around a great experience! Glad to have found them online! If you have a Porsche (especially) or other exotic in need of repairs, modifications, restoration, etc. these guys will take good care of you!

Tim and his team are great! I was highly recommended to go to then via the folks @ HMS Motorsports. I wanted to make sure when the IMS was replaced, it was done by the best. I booked in advance, had a loaner car and the work was done as promised....I couldnt be happier. Thanks to KMC.

KMC does exceptional work. Tim, Dave, and Edwin are talented and meticulous, and it shows in everything they do. Theyve done extensive work on my car, and all they have done is of the highest caliber. I also appreciate their communication and documentation. I highly recommend KMC, and will use Tim and his team again in the future.

Great facility, Friendly / talented staff and excellent cars!

Outstanding in every way, this is a racer’s haven and a restorer’s dream shop. Tim hires dedicated mechanics who are friendly and capable handling new tech and old, and it is an amazingly open and spiffy clean shop. These guys love cars and it shows. Want to know your engine’s torque curve? They’ve got a dyno. Have a problem that requires some jury-rigging? They have fabrication capabilities. Just bought a classic that needs diagnosis and maintenance replacement parts or upgrades? They will go over it with the proverbial fine tooth comb. They document work, show you the old decrepit parts they removed, and consult with you about the replacement options. And they do track inspections for a very reasonable rate (rather than the outrageous single fee price that some shops in CT charge). Dave has found and fixed problems overlooked (or caused!) by other Porsche specialty shops. And, their customer service goes above and beyond normal, including rescue missions. Our experience has included everything I’ve mentioned since we acquired a 1989 Porsche 944. Tim is so meticulous in his approach that we have complete confidence in him for everything from changing brake pads to a complete engine overhaul. You owe it to yourself to give KMC a try.

Every time Ive gotten my Cayman worked on at KMC has been an absolute pleasure. Tim is always willing to answer my questions and suggest the most logical route for maintenance. There is no upselling, no pressure, just top quality work in a timely manner.The other guys who work there are always friendly and helpful, and the quality of their work is reflected in the shop- it is meticulously clean, and only OEM quality or better parts are used.

Just had my 996 serviced at Kachel Motor Company and they did a great job. Replaced stock with 997 GT3 shifter, new tires, full brake job, ignition coils ...This was my 1st visit and plan to use them to service the car in the future.

I have been going to Tim at KMC for years and there is a reason I have stayed with this business, they are top notch pros and all around good people. Im so happy to have a place to take my car so close to where I work.

If you want your car really taken care of, and you want the person working on your car to go the extra mile and check things that you would not have thought of, KMC is the place to take your car to. Anything that is even remotely custom - exhaust, computer, window controls, these guys are experts.

Excellent service and support for track cars and high-end sports cars, especially Porsches. Tim and his crew are meticulous and stand behind their work. While you may be able to find someone that can do work for less, these guys will get it right. if you need something unique they can source or fabricate.KMC has supported my street/track activities for a couple years now. This spring I purchased a project car of theirs; a Porsche Cayman S track car with a 3.8l 911 engine, full-cage, and KW coil-overs. They moved a bunch of my bolt-ons over from my old car and the results are fantastic!At Watkins Glen last week I was able to work with pro-coach Peter Argetsinger. He drove the car and when I asked him if there is anything that he would change in the setup he said he loved the car, and it didnt need a thing - well, other than some Aero which is a future project!

TIm and his team have an exceptional attention to detail and their quality is unsurpassed. I service multiple cars at KMC (one high-end and one not so high-end) and I can rely on their professionalism, honesty and timeliness. They are a top notch shop for people who track their cars and we entrust our safety to KMC. If you desire a customer focused repair shop, KMC is the place to go and stay with.

I cant recommend KMC enough. I brought my e46 M3 ZCP in for a 60k service and a new short shifter, based on the recommendation of another friend who brings them his M Coupe. I worked with Tim and Edwin -- theyre both great, honest, and knowledgable guys. They care about what they do, the cars they work on, and the clients they serve. They gave me back a totally different car than then one I dropped off with them - between the valve adjustment and the short shifter, it was a night and day difference. I had a smile plastered on my face the whole way home, and still have it a few months later. I cant wait to bring it back to them for the next thing (suspension?).On top of that, they gave me a great 50mpg TDI (with a sport suspension!) loaner car, *and* they cleaned my M3 before they gave it back. Class acts.Oh, and just walking through their shop is worth the trip -- there are always a bunch of awesome cars. And they sit in the cleanest working space Ive ever seen.

I have had an incredibly positive experience with KMC and all that work I have had done there. They have maintained my M Coupe for the past year. I have worked with both Tim and Dave in the past, they are great mechanics who stand by their work theyve treated each of my cars with the same level of care and thoroughness. KMC has completely sorted out all of the issues with my M coupe that previous mechanics were not able to. They have always acted in the most professional manner when working on my car and with me, their customer service is outstanding. Everything I have asked of them has been done; I have not yet had a single issue with any of the work performed by KMC. I will continue to bring my cars there for service and I have recommended them too many. KMC offers an incredible amount of knowledge and service; they are the only garage that will service my cars.

Tim and the rest of the folks at KMC have demonstrated the utmost of professionalism and friendliness over the past 9 years that Ive been a client. The number of custom projects and routine maintenance numbers several dozen at this point. For me alone, theyve produced customized work thats spanned BMWs, Porsches, and even a classic Mustang that was essentially a bare-metal restoration/modification spanning 2 years. That project was a labor of love that I would trust to very few. Tim and his crew made sure it was exactly what I wanted. If it wasnt, he did everything humanly possible to make it perfect.I trust his crew enough that I sent my parents to KMC to perform maintenance on their cars. In times when integrity is becoming scarcer, and professionalism harder to find, KMC is an oasis. Also, if you like cool cars, be sure to stop by their shop and see what projects are brewing in each of the bays. Youll enjoy the time spent.

Ive been using KMC for years. I first found them after another highly respected Boston area independent Porsche mechanic rebuilt my 993tt engine and after 9 months returned the car a complete and barely driveable disaster. Tim and his team worked with me to sort out the suspension, steering, engine and turbo oil leaks, replace all the original and very questionable rubber which EPE had just slapped back on, etc, and got the car sorted out again. Including finally fixing the problem of cylinders filling with oil and blowing clouds of smoke on startup, which had been the reason for the engine rebuild at the earlier mechanic.KMCs attention to detail is incredible, the shop is the cleanest and most organized Ive seen, they are all super friendly and enthusiastic car nuts, and you can work directly with the mechanics to understand what your options are and decide on a plan forward. Low pressure and no ego to get in the way of straight talk about your car.

If you are looking for top quality service and honest people to work on your car, then look no further than Kachel Motor Company in Lawrence, Mass. KMC goes the extra mile to make sure you are completely satisfied with their work. Phone calls and emails are returned promptly and they even provide a loaner car. Some hospitals envy KMCs shop floor its so clean and ship-shape. Having KMC at track events shows they understand their clientele, and are onsite to lend a hand if needed.

Jason,As you know I own a business also and Id just like to give you and your staff kudus for the professional service I received when purchasing my Boxster. From the day you and I talked and you said you had what I had been hunting for ( year, color, mileage, etc. ) I have been happy with your service. You have put a smile on this 60 year olds face you just cant wipe off as I drive her with the top down !! I will and have recommend you folks whenever the opportunity presents itself.Bud Leonhardt

I met Tim Kachel and Edwin Diaz this past weekend while they were providing track side support at Watkins Glen for a group of Bostonians. My 991 GT3 unfortunately became a victim of radiator damage on the first of a three day track event and I was unable to drive my car. Thinking that my weekend was abruptly finished I was approached by Tim and was told that we can fix that. After obtaining a replacement radiator, the KMC crew were able to replace the damaged part and repair the car and get me back on the track. Their expertise of the car and repair was as good, if not superior to my local Porsche dealer. They were able to quickly diagnose and fix the ill fated track car. They are professional, knowledgeable and most of all friendly. I can not say enough positive comments about them. Thanks KMC. Bart Savino, Staten Island, NY, 2014 Saphire Blue GT3 .

KMC....expertise at its finest. The guys at KMC are true masters in the craft of automotive engineering and salesmanship. Tim and David are true wizards when it comes to anything mechanical while Jason is knowledgable beyond belief when it comes to the car you want and locating it as well. I advise all my friends to take their cars to KMC from simple service to track builds and anything in between. KMC 5 stars!

In describing KMC Performance to someone, I often say one could perform surgery in there. This of course is a strange way to consider a car shop - until you see it. KMC is a dreamland any car enthusiast can appreciate. It is extremely clean, organized, very bright and frequently filled with high-powered super cars, and purpose built track cars.I am probably an a-typical customer of KMC as my car has 200-HP and is from the 80s. However, no matter who I am dealing with at KMC - Tim, Dave, Edwin or Jason, I feel like I am a regular there. They share my enthusiasm for my car and genuinely take an interest in my plans with it.I encourage anyone with a custom fabrication project, need for race prep,questions on what it takes to own a super/track car, or those whom welcome an anal level of attention to detail from a highly skilled, knowledgeable group of craftsmen to visit KMC. Youll be impressed by the shop and pleased to learn the people working on your car care as much about it as you.

I bought a 1998 BMW M3 Saloon from KMC back in 2010 and I could not be happier with the purchase. The car was in perfect shape when I bought it and it remains that way, thanks to KMC. Every time I take it into the shop I am impressed to see the condition of the shop, new projects, and the personalized welcome I get from Tim and the gang. Honesty is one of the most important attributes I look for when I take my car to someone and KMC has never let me down. I plan on being a lifelong customer and I would highly recommend Kachel Motor Company to anyone, especially if you love your car.

Excellent, knowledgeable, friendly service

REALLY BUT REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PLACE, THEY ARE NOT HONEST AT ALL, BE CAREFUL BUYING FROM THEM.
