Will replaced the rear wheel bearings on my 2012 991.1 S. He did great work, very knowledgeable, and upfront. I will be going back to him to service the PDCC reservoir and I'm sure more future work on my car. Great guy, great shop, highly recommended.
Will did quit a bit of work on my 2010 Cayman. Fixing a problem caused by another shop. Bringing everything up to par, new pads, rotors, even painting calipers. I'm glad he is Ocala. I will not let anyone else work on my now 2014 981S. Will is a perfectionist and a Certified Master Porsche mechanic.
Nice clean shop and his years of experience show! He found a few things that I didn't even know where a problem. I will definitely use Will for my oil changes and required services when they are due.
Always a great experience, very helpful and knowledgeable. If you want the job done right come here!
Mr Tucker is a class act! Extremely knowledgeable, thorough, professional and up front honest. Thank you for the terrific diagnosis and repair of my electrical issue!
I called William a few months ago to discuss getting some work done on my car. After a few conversations, I decided to have William do the work instead of the dealer. His work was great, the shop was clean and the price was extremely reasonable. I will absolutely be taking my car here instead of the dealer going forward.
Quality work in a timely manner. Had a great experience and would highly recommend for all automotive needs!
Quality work and his experience speaks for itself! Will has been taking care of our vehicles for years, saves us a lot of money with our Porsche Cayenne S by NOT having to go to the dealer. Highly recommended for anyone that has a Mercedes/BMW/Porsche… from vintage to new he’s your hard to find trusted shop.
