Dave and team are exceptional. We are all very fortunate to have such a capable and high integrity business supporting us.
I brought my 944 into this shop hearing it was the best Porsche shop in the Bay Area. My car sat in their shop for 9 months. Not only was the communication very poor (I always had to reach out and call) they actually broke my windshield (refused to admit it was them) and could never figure out what was wrong with the car. The car was able to start and run before bringing it in but after they began to make repairs the car failed to start on its own. They never fixed their mistake and charged my thousands for the service. Worst experience and terrible to deal with. I do not recommend.
I was gifted a non-running Porsche 944 and without any previous automotive knowledge I decided to dive in and see if I could get it back on the road. For the last two years I have been wrenching and when I have run into roadblocks, Dave Modderman and his crew have been an indispensable resource on my journey in getting my 944 up and running. Without his knowledge and sincerity, I would not be as far along as I am today. He is humble and understands what its like to be learning automotive repair. His passion for cars shows! He has integrity and Id recommend his services to anyone who owns a Porsche.
Have taken my 987 to Dave a few times and I have been very satisfied with my experiences so far. Their work is high quality, highly recommend for anyone that owns a Porsche.
I first visited Modderman in 2015 after my 2001 996 developed an odd intermittent squeaking sound. I had already taken my car to a local dealer and two independent shops where I paid a lot of money for them to replace parts that werent broken. At my wits end, a friend recommended I try Modderman. Dave made it his personal mission to get to the bottom of my issue. A week later, he had solved my issue and I was shocked to learn that his total bill was less than Id paid any of the other shops who failed to fix the problem. I have been taking my car to Modderman ever since.If you own a Porsche and find yourself in need of service, repairs, or performance enhancements, I strongly recommend you check out Modderman. Dave and his entire staff are true artisans who take pride in their work. Whether its an oil change or debugging some elusive intermittent quirk, Modderman will get the job done at a fair price.
Modderman changed the timing belt on our 944, replaced the clutch hydraulic slave cylinder and as a bonus solved an issue with the complex sunroof that didnt want to latch. Dave showed me the removed parts and made sure I was happy with the work performed. The car has been great to drive since then. I plan to bring in my 911 next- very happy to have such an experienced and helpful shop team in the bay area.
Have had great experience with Modderman! I was impressed that there was discussion about maintenance that didnt result in extra service. Benefits and risks were discussed, and a more strategic plan on how to address the ongoing needs were decided on. Felt like I got clear advice and I was in good hands.
Dave and his team at Modderman fixed a very tricky Check Engine light problem on my 98 993 that multiple shops (including a dealer) in the Bay Area couldnt resolve. One Porsche shop wouldnt even take on the problem - too difficult to solve. Off and on I spent two years having shops take a stab at resolving the problem. When they couldnt accurately troubleshoot the problem the proposal was to start replacing expensive parts in the hopes of permanently clearing the problematic load sensing code. Just costly guesswork. I finally found Modderman through their excellent Google reviews. They nailed the problem and fixed it in an efficient and inexpensive way! I couldnt be happier with my experience with Dave and Modderman Services. If youve got a tricky issue with an older Porsche I highly recommend Modderman. They truly know what theyre doing!
The service is good, professional, and precise
Dave Modderman has kept our Porsches maintained and running like new for over 15 years. Outstanding!
Excellent service and care, I trust their advise for all my Porsches needs.
Over a few years now, Ive trusted Dave and his crew on their advice/recommendations, workmanship and attention to detail, and Ive never been disappointed.
Modderman Services is an outstanding group. Excellent service and they understand their customer base. I have been going to Dave and his team for 4 years, and I would recommend Modderman Services without reservation. I own a 2004 GT3 and am very particular about the work and who does the work on my Porsche. Modderman Services is the right team to work on my car.
Dave and Steve have now taken care of two of my Porsche in their house, and doing a great job. I have had other people work on my cars and not been as satisfied. I have gone back to an older model that needs a little more TLC than the last. One of the things that I like is that if something is amiss, they take care of it. It saves me time and the trouble of multiple trips. The only complaint is that I just wish they were a little closer to home.Thank you again guys.
Always get a fantastic experience. Dave and team are great. Knowledgeable, excellent customer service, reasonably priced and interested in building long-term customers.
Dave Modderman and his uncle before him are the only people who have cared for my Porsche 993 which I bought new in 1995. I trust him completely, along with Steve and Carter, who complete the team. All great guys, excellent mechanics and easy to work with. Highly recommended. The best.
Every time I have taken my 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo to Moddermans it comes back in tip-top condition, running like new. Dave and the guys did an engine swap last year and did a great job. Their attention to detail and their extensive knowledge of all Porsche models really makes a great difference.I would recommend Moddermans to anyone for any Porsche service or modifications.
I own a 89 944 NA with 150K miles on it and when it came time to replace the clutch I knew I could trust Dave and his crew. They previously replaced the water pump and timing belt and had me back on the road in no time. In the 3 years I have been in the Bay Area they have always taken great care of my car. If you value your Porsche then you are in good hands with Modderman Services, I have the receipts to prove it.
I highly recommend Dave for his honesty, workmanship, and competitive pricing.I brought my friends Porsche Cayman to Dave a few years ago for service, and he not only explained every technical detail of the service to us, he gave us a great deal - far less than the dealer.Later when my friend bought the incorrect brake bulbs for me to install, Dave helped me find and install the correct bulbs within 5 minutes. Thanks a bunch Dave!
Great service. Knowledgeable staff. Get a quote before you leave the vehicle with them so that incorrect or past charges dont surprise you when you get the bill.
Dave and staff performed an extensive and complicated air-conditioning retro-fit on my 82 911. I was very impressed with the professional and courteous treatment from start to finish. Its obvious that Dave cares not only that the job is done well but also that the customer is treated well. Im an airline employee and customer service is frequently lacking in my world. It was nice to deal with someone who is kinda old school and gets it with regard to kindness toward people he comes into contact with. Good Job! The new A/C is fantastic..first time that little beauty has seen really cold air!
Im glad I learned about Modderman Service when we bought our used Boxster. Dave and his staff really know Porsches and do expert work at reasonable prices. Our Boxster has been very reliable but when it needs service we take it to Modderman.
Excellent quality work and prices half as much as the dealership. I take both my Cayenne and Panamera here.
Excellent service and customer relationship management.
Ive taken my 2005 997 to Moddermanns shop ever since the factory warranty expired. They always diagnosed problems (e.g. water pump, wheel bearings, exhaust) right the first time, and fixed them at a fair price.
Always fantastic service. I take all my cars to Modderman, not just my 911.
Dave and his crew are the ONLY people who will touch my 911,
Great
