Porsche specialist Doncaster.
Independent. Dealer-grade. Warranty-safe.

911 (996/997/991/992), Cayman/Boxster (987/981/718), Macan, Cayenne and Panamera all serviced regularly. Each has a service profile that needs specific tooling and specific knowledge — a general workshop that treats a Cayenne like an SUV misses the point entirely.

The 987 M97 IMS bearing story is well understood — inspected and LN Engineering IMS retrofit quoted where appropriate. The 991.2/992 3.0T flat-six has coolant and oil-separator considerations. The 718 flat-four turbo has carbon-buildup considerations and specific plug intervals.

PIWIS 3 — the dealer-level Porsche scan platform — is on every visit. Coding, adaptations, firmware updates and live-data logging done properly, not with a generic scanner.

The workshop is at Unit 4/6 Woodbine Court, Wantirna South VIC 3152 — about 15 minutes from Doncaster (3108) depending on traffic. Doncaster sits alongside Doncaster East, Templestowe, Bulleen in the 3108 catchment, and owners from all of them use the workshop.

Most Doncaster owners book a day ahead, drop the car in the morning and arrange their own transport onward; there is a customer area if you would rather wait. Pickup and drop-off is available by prior arrangement, subject to location and availability — we do not offer loan cars.

Routine servicing is usually same-day. Larger work — transmission servicing, timing-system repairs, cooling repairs, intake cleaning or turbo work — is quoted with a realistic in-and-out timeline before we start, so you can plan around it.

Every Porsche service includes a proper multi-point inspection — not a tickbox sheet. These are the platform-specific items we look at as a matter of course, photographed on the hoist and quoted only if action is genuinely needed:

• IMS bearing (987 M97 early)

  Inspected at service — LN Engineering retrofit quoted where appropriate.

• PDK fluid

  60–80k km interval — not 'lifetime'. Correct spec, factory procedure.

• Rear main seal & AOS

  Known 996/997 items — inspected, replaced with OEM or upgraded parts.

• Coolant lines (Cayenne/Panamera)

  Age-related failures — inspected every service, replaced proactively where cracked.

• Carbon buildup (718 turbo, 991.2)

  Walnut blasting around 80–100k km on direct-injection Porsches.

• Water pump & thermostat

  Standard maintenance items on a Porsche — inspected and replaced with OEM.

COBB, EcuTek, PIWIS-adjacent flash tuning where the platform supports it. 991.2 and 992 turbo flat-six respond very well to Stage 1 with correct calibration; 718 turbo four is similar. Naturally aspirated flat-sixes (997.1 GT3, 987/981/718 Cayman GT4) we service and maintain — modification is generally not the correct path.

Track-day prep — brake fluid, pad choice, alignment, coolant — handled properly for 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4 clients running Sandown, Winton or Phillip Island.

Send your rego or VIN through the quote form or call 0483 939 216. We look up your car's build spec, come back with a written, line-itemised quote — usually the same business day. No surprises, no 'we opened it up and now you need more'.

Drop the car in the morning, or book it a few days ahead. On arrival we do a full PIWIS scan first — every module, stored and pending faults — before any spanner touches the car. If we find anything beyond the original job, we photograph it, quote it in writing, and only proceed with your written approval.

You leave with a stamped log book (where applicable), a completed service and inspection sheet, and a plain-English summary of what we did and what to expect at the next interval.
