Ive never felt better about taking my precious P-car somewhere as I did when I visited Dan at Exotic Motorwerks. You know when you pull up to a facility with all kinds of cool, well-preserved Porsches, you came to the right place! Dan is friendly, eager to help and loves talking about P-cars. While the work I requested this time was very light duty, I am thrilled to have found my guy for Porsche work here in the Scottsdale area. Take your Porsche here if you want people working on it who live, eat and breathe the brand.
Dan at Exotic Motorwerks is by far one of the best and most knowledgeable Porsche specialists in the valley, and I think it stems from the fact that he is a Porsche aficionado himself, and that love he transfuses into his work. Not only that, but he holds workshops as well that are very informative for us Porsche lovers. Highly recommend for an excellent service!
I had Dan run pre-purchase inspections on two Porsches I was considering but had not yet seen in person. His inspections were thorough, and after each one he called me and went over the results in detail, answering my questions with valuable context and insight. His expertise and attention to detail prevented me from making what would have likely been an expensive and regrettable mistake in one case, and in the other pointed out flaws and imperfections that the seller had missed that helped me negotiate a savings above and beyond the cost of the PPI. Definitely money well spent in both cases. If I have future Porsche mechanical needs in the PHX area I would not hesitate to engage his services again.
Dan performed a PPI on a 997 for me. He was very thorough with the inspection, identified issues, and provided feedback/insight on the issues. He was very open to answering questions and took time going through his findings in detail with me. I highly recommend this shop. Thanks again Dan!
After purchasing a 1988 928 S4 a few years ago, Dan was recommended by two different acquaintances, on two separate occasions. How often does that happen?A year ago I purchased a 1986 944 Turbo. I found out quickly, that he knows as much about them as the 928s. I have recommended him to friends and they are equally impressed. They own 911s and Audis.Upon meeting Dan, I was immediately blown away by his knowledge and willingness to share information. I like to do as much of my own work as possible. This did not phase him. Most shops would see this as completion or a nuisance.Dan is obviously driven by a love for these cars and ensuring they are preserved. He has gotten me out of more than one bind, with a timely repair, part or advice. And in doing so, not only has he ensured that my cars are in tip top shape, but he has made me a better amateur mechanic.
I have had my vehicle in A few different times for different repairs and the service has been amazing. Awesome pricing and the most intricate attention to detail. I highly recommend Exotic Motorwerks if you want the job done right!
I have been taking my cars to Exotic Motorwerks/Dan for several years now, and will continue to so. He was highly recommended, and as Ive come to know him, I truly feel that he is one of the best mechanics Ive run across. His attention to detail is amazing.You might not always like to hear that something else needs replacing when it wasnt the reason you brought it in, but to me that shows that he has the best interest of the car in mind at all times, and is truly interested in keeping them in top shape. I never feel like hes trying to rack up the bill, he clearly shows you what he found, explains the potential impacts, and lets you make the decision.I can honestly say that my 2 928s and small flotilla of 944s are in much better shape due to his care, and again, highly recommend him.
I am a repeat offender when it comes to buying classic European cars. I found Dan after I purchased a 1986.5 Porsche 928s that was barely running. He gave me two options: Fix the basics and get it running quickly, or turn it into more of a long term project and be patient. I chose option 1, but then changed to option 2 after getting to know Dan and his work a little better.What immediately struck me about Dan is his comprehensive knowledge of every part and piece of any car he takes in. The more I spoke with him, the more I realized that he does this work for two reasons. The first is that he is passionate about the cars. The second is that he is passionate about doing each job correctly and completely.When Dan does a repair on my car, I know he is not just fixing it, he is partially restoring it to new condition. Even something as simple as a brake job involves working on components that are more than 30 years old. Dan knows exactly what needs to be replaced, what is something to check on again after some time, and what is holding up well and can be left alone.The difference between a regular 9-5 mechanic who works at a shop or dealership and a professional mechanical technician like Dan is that when Dan fixes something, the car is not just repaired, it is improved from how it was when new.Not everyone appreciates this level of care, but they should. These cars are becoming rarer and rarer, and the kind of work Dan does guarantees the cars he touches will be around for a long time.If you have a water-cooled Porsche from the 1970’s through 1990’s, there are less than a dozen really talented independent shops in the country to take them to. Dan and his Exotic Motorwerks is at the top of that list.
Dan (owner) is awesome and really knew the 944. He was really honest,, explained what was wrong w my A/C, called multiple times with updates, and was able to solve it at a fraction of the price for what I was quoted elsewhere
Best place to take your Porsche Dan is the best Mechanic!
Dan is the best. He has preformed exceptional work and treated me fairly and honestly. I would not consider taking my 911 anywhere else.
I was very close to booking with this place until a gentleman over the phone said something that turned me off. I simply stated that from a sales perspective the work I needed would be a decent sale for them (around $4000.00).He disagreed saying that particular job was “very labor intensive” and could be a problem.With an attitude like that about doing a more labor intensive job, I could only visualize an upset/frustrated person working on my car.No thank you!
Exotic is a great shop for Porsche and Mercedes service. Dan and his crew do a great job. They are honest and know the cars. Dan has kept my Porsche running well for more than 10 years.
The service here is fantastic, the people here do amazing work for a great price! I highly recommend them for all your cars needs!!!
I have had my Porsche serviced with Dan for over 12 years. He is trustworthy, honest and does excellent work at a fair price. I have recommended many people to Dan and they have all had an excellent experience. He is the best!!
Ive brought my cars to Dan at Exotic Motorwerks for over 10 years. Hes a brilliant mechanic, honest and reliable, and also a really nice guy. Highly recommended!
Dan is in my opinion the top 928 specialist in the valley. Whenever I have issues (which come more often than I would want, but thats what happens with classic cars!), he is always willing to take a look, and return in a timely manner with the problem either resolved or detected. There is no one like him, and his shop is very clean and spacious that makes you feel safe that your baby is there :)
Owner Dan Warner is one of the best Porsche mechanics in the country, a true technician.
We have had our all of our Porsches serviced by Exotic Motorwerks over the last 14 years. They provide excellent customer service, Porsche service and have great attention to detail. Highly recommend Exotic Motorwerks!
My experience with Dan Warner, Exotic Motorwerks, runs all along a mechanical continuum from “simple” maintenance to restoring and customizing Porsche cars, both old and new. Dans attention to detail and knowledge of automobile mechanics in general and Porsche automobiles in particular is unequaled in the industry.
Exoticmotorwerk is the best independent Porsche in Arizona, Dan Warner owner and Sr. mechanic is one the kind specialist old and new Porsche generations. his hand crafting dedication and knowledge provide AAA class service, I highly recommend Exoticmotorwerks/Dan for all Porsches owners and real enthusiastic about design passion. simple the best Independent Porsche Shop on the region.
This place is excellent. Dan, the owner, is a master technician, and equally important - he is honest and runs his operations with high integrity. I took my VW Passat here and couldnt have been happier with the results. My car was fixed in a timely manner, at a reasonable price, and they made me feel like I brought in a Porsche instead of a VW. At the end I was provided with a detailed explanation of everything that was done to the car and things to watch out for. It is good to know a mechanic you can trust.
I have had many Porsches and Dan is the only one that cares about my car more than I do. I love his attention to detail and honesty.
Highly recommend awesome knowledgeable staff.
Make an appointment to get in on advance and you will be amazed by the quality and pride of work. Hands down much better than going to the local dealers for service!
The ONLY place I trust to work on my Porsche!! They have a customer for LIFE!!
