Heyer Performance

I dropped off my 2014 Porsche boxster for intermediate service and brake fluid change. Tony got these done within 2 hours. Their pricing is reasonable. I highly recommend this shop for your Porsche needs.

Showed up there this morning to do a PPI for my car. The potential buyers picked this place. After waiting there for an extra 40 min Tony the mechanic starts to check out the car, but before he takes off on a test drive with the buyer I tell him that I need the buyer to sign a document that states that they buyer will be responsible for the car and they will own it/​buy it from me if they get into any accident. Well that just sets Tony off sideways — he hands me back the key at arms length like a little princess and says the PPI is not being done. I tried to explain to him (as he is walking away I say excuse me sir — 3 times, until he decided to bestow me with his attention and allow me to speak to him). I explain that the liability has nothing to do with him or his shop, it is an agreement between myself and the potential new owner. He then starts to bitch about how busy he is and how our apparent effort to give him business via the PPI is a big hassle because he has so much other work to do. Well Tony — FN learn some customers skills — you are a total ass.

Took an ’06 911S to Heyer for a pre-​purchase inspection. The owner could not have been nicer, mellower, or more patient. He pretty much dropped what he was doing and evaluated the car. He personally drove it, put it up on the rack to inspect all the hard to see mechanicals. When he ran the diagnostics, he let me hang around and explained the meaning of the codes. I’m sure there was more money to be made doing other things, but he never rushed anything and answered every question. When it came time to pay, the charge was actually significantly less than I was quoted. I will be back for sure, and happy to recommend Heyer Performance.

Tony serviced my wife’s Boxster S. I brought it in for a general tune up/​inspection and a window regulator change, and Tony discovered more — that the ignition switch was faulty. He knows his stuff, and he gets done what he tells you he will get done.

I had to replace front brake pads of my Boxter 08. Tony gave me a quote on the phone and a timeframe to do the job. He not only took the time to explain me what work he had to do, but the final bill was lower than the quote. It’s been about 4 months since then and I’ve had no problem with brakes so far. Two thumbs up for him. I think I found my repair shop.

Tony and his staff are absolutely amazing! I have a 3^rd party warranty (pretty rude individuals) and Tony was able to handle them with ease. The shop was able to perform the work in a timely manner and give me a great assessment of my cars condition. His wife even gave me a ride to work! I highly recommend Heyer Performance for all your Porsche needs and definitely will be coming back!

I took my car here after reading about and talking to various other shops in South Bay. Tony has a rich racing background and knows P cars very well. I took my 987.2 here for a major service. They did an awesome job of a spark plug change, brake fluid flush, transmission fluid flush. They inspected the whole car, cleaned the ducts, topped up fluids and gave me some awesome maintenance advice and other tips. They also did a free compression test for me while changing the spark plugs. All this for an unbelievable price. The dealerships would have at least charged me 50% more. Tony knows P cars well enough and won’t sell additional services just to make money. This will be my goto place for any future services. Highly recommend them.

Best in the business. Will you pay a little bit? Absolutely but that is what happens when you own a Porsche. These guys are so kind and friendly. No BS, straight shooters. I have never had a better experience dealing with auto repairs in my two plus decades of driving. Thanks Tony!

Talk about nasty attitude.
This guy maybe a good Porsche mechanic, but he’s got some attitude issues. Needs to learn how to talk to customers. When asked why he wants to charge $ 250 for inspecting a car, when off on a rant and cancelled the appointment.
I would rather spend my money with the dealer then put up with this place.

This is the first time I have taken my 2003 911 Cabriolet for servicing outside the dealership and I was quite impressed with Tony’s personalized interactions with me, and his interest in my car and my needs. He test drove the car prior to telling me what he would recommend and then showed me what he was going to do and at the end the parts he replaced. He told me what to do now and what I should wait on. He took care of getting my fogged headlight lenses clear and laminated, and helped me order the right tires that he installed. He is a Porsche enthusiast and so gave me some tips on how to get the most from my car! His prices were very reasonable and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality Porsche service.

OK. To be fair, I did come into this place randomly to get the guy to help me take the engine cover off (a special tool is needed) of my Cayman and he was pretty helpful in person. Maybe I was being a dick in the first place.

Long over due. Have a newer 911 and took me a while to find a good mechanic since moving to the Bay Area. After going to some bad ones and stopping by almost all the stealerships up here I stumbled upon tony and Wes. Not only did they end up taking me last minute. Went for an oil change but they still addressed many quick things and explained and discussed the status of the vehicle to me. Told me what will be due soon and gave me many options and opinions on what should could or would be done as well as thoroughly explaining why. These guys are obviously more air cooled guys but definitely seen their fair share of water cooled motors actually about half were when I arrived. Trust worthy guys and their repair shop has been in the area for over a decade

After seeing such positive reviews, I was surprised that after calling 3 times, leaving 3 messages (over a period of 4 days) and even talking to the receptionist once, I never received a return phone call. They must be VERY busy. I guess I’ll take my Porsche elsewhere.

Brought a boxster in for a PPI last week and Tony was helpful, flexible with his busy schedule and got it done on the fly, clearly knowledgeable, and charged me a very fair price for the inspection (I felt slightly over quoted at competing shops). Thank you Tony! I will definitely be back for my first service with this new (to me) car.

Tony is a very solid Porsche mechanic. I initially brought on my vehicle for a PPI and Tony did it for free considering he was in the middle of eating lunch. I’ve brought my vehicle in twice for service and he continues to provide thoughtful service.
I couldn’t recommend a better place to have your Porsche serviced in the South Bay Area.

Took my ’08 Boxster here for a PPI and had a very pleasant experience. Tony and Wes both seemed knowledgable, professional, and friendly. The inspection was done in under 2 hours with a reasonable price and Tony gave me a good deal of information on the car that I was previously unaware of. I’ll most likely be back to fix a couple of minor things, and afterward for regular maintenance.

This is the place to take your Porsche in the Bay Area. Period (full stop if you’re British). They know Porsches, have a great attitude, are diligent, and are not looking to gouge you. The owner is honest and updates you regarding progress. Price is reasonable, work is spotless. Will return (hopefully not soon).

I’m not a typical «porsche owner». I can’t afford spending tens of thousands of dollars on a car and not even asking for the price of an oil change. I got to a 99 Boxster really cheap, seemingly in flawless conditions.
After I read through the reviews and had another recommendations for them from a friend when I needed someone to look into it. The coolant system had some issues, so I took it to their place. They drained and refilled the whole system. I payed less than $ 100! That was the first surprise. Then as all boxsters, this one had a few problems, so I went back. That cost me around $ 3k. They were really fast, explained everything to me, offered following up, kept me updated with everything. And now the car runs so smooth I didn’t even dreamed of before.
Tony the owner so obviously love these cars and his job, that just made me feel a lot better about this place too. They explain everything to you, honest, tells you what should be done, keep you updated, tells you where you can save money, show you what have been replaced etc.
If you have a porsche and you need a good reliable honest mechanic, go to Heyer Performance!

I called Tony asking about a pre-​purchase inspection for an older 911 I am considering buying. Tony answered the phone himself and spent his time explaining to me the shortcomings of that year and model. He also stated that even though the mileage is low, there are things to look for with this particular era.
I am not yet even a client of his, yet he took time out of his schedule to educate and assist me before I make a decision.
This guy not only knows Porsche’s, but equally as important, he knows customer service.
Thanks Tony!

Tony is the MAN!!! Like many Porsche owners, I’m very discriminating on where I get 911 serviced. Checked all the boards, went to a bunch of shops (Stable, PorBoys, Bauer„ ended up with Heyer many years ago. Heyer has been my go-​to wrench ever since.
So, my latest visit. I dont drive my Porsche much (about 2,000) miles a year, so often the car’s battery died. As usual, I charged the battery, tried to start, no luck. Charge another day, again no start. Have to tow it to Mountain View from Alameda. There are shops closer, but I trust Tony with my baby.
Call Tony, tell him I’m having it towed in, so he’s basically got me by the balls. He calls later that day and says its only a relay. What a relief!!! Finds a couple other little things to fix, oil change and I’m done. Out the door for a very reasonable cost considering it was towed in.
Tony found a couple other things that will eventually need fixing, but can wait a little. I like getting recommendations like that as many shops will tell you you need it now.
Tony only does Porsches (I think), and I would always recommend taking your Porsche to a Porsche-​only wrench, not one of those «all-​German» shops. Tony is the best.
