njb Posted 20July, 2021 Report Share Posted 20July, 2021 Hi all, I was hoping to see if anyone had solid referrals for a specialist Porsche workshop in Victoria, ideally in the south east. The car being worked on right now being a '74 2.7 MFI. Any recommendations of where you've personally been impressed by both the skill and customer service would be much appreciated. eg Peter Hardt is awesome for 356, but he only works on 356s, SouthernBM for the BMWs.... geez there's no one else I know. Ok, while I'm at it, a classic Fiat restoration shop would be a godsend too. Thanks, James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalai Posted 20July, 2021 Report Share Posted 20July, 2021 I have been going to Stuart at Nine Auto since I bought my 84 Carrera 4 1/2 years ago and cannot fault. There are quite a few independents in the SE but haven't had reason to go anywhere else so can't comment on the other workshops.

Loui at Motion Automotive is your man in South Melb. another 1 for Nick Cascone here too. He is currently re-building my 3.2 - taking it to a 3.4 plus other (ie. PMO, JE Pistons, GE60 cam etc) and he's been excellent at keeping me posted on progress and the quality of his work so far has been top shelf. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmurugti Posted 26August, 2021 Report Share Posted 26August, 2021 Stephen Harrison at RRR. He rebuilt the 356 and it runs beautifully. He also did up the 3.2 and I could not be more pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcg1 Posted 27August, 2021 Report Share Posted 27August, 2021 Another vote for Toby at classic modern Porsche in Hallam. He rebuilt my engine on my 77 and has maintained the car for the last 5 years, always honest and great service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 27August, 2021 Report Share Posted 27August, 2021 Add to these Michael Garner at Autoart. In the end, I’m a big fan of all of these guys. Have have great experiences with most of them and the others I know by reputation. You won’t go wrong wherever you end up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so fortunate in Melbourne to have such a large selection of brilliant independent Porsche workshops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 28August, 2021 Report Share Posted 28August, 2021 A little bit further and South Easter is Spyder in Warragul. Mike knows MFI intimately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
