what we do

service

We work on Porsche, VW, and BMW — air-cooled and otherwise. Valve adjustments to engine-out jobs. No upselling, no guessing.

parts

Sourced, stocked, and specified for the cars we actually work on. IMS solutions, timing kits, torsion sets. If we sell it, we've used it.

goods

A small collection of things worth owning. One tee. A field guide. A workshop bag. Nothing superfluous.
