I have taken multiple Porsches in for repairs and sorting and this team has a top attention to detail. Be confident that these folks will take great care of you and your car.

Did a really nice job on a PPI for a vehicle I was looking to purchase. Went above and beyond coordinating the pickup of the vehicle.

Matt, Tom and Greg are awesome! They treated my Porsche with great care. They are so knowledgeable, kind and make any service a great experience. Makello's is so much cheaper than the Porsche dealership. The work they do is meticulous and they do honest work. They are an awesome team and I am so glad I found them! I'm looking forward to not going to the Porsche dealership anymore and visiting them!

Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable with Porsches. I take both my air cooled and water cooled 911 to Matt and Tom.

Best customer service I've ever had for any of my vehicles! Much more reasonable prices compared to dealerships, but way more attention to detail. Will definitely be the only place I bring my GT4 to moving forward!

We are very glad to have found Makellos! Greg gave us excellent service including a tour of the shop. We truly felt like they provided personalized and comprehensive service for our car without doing a "blanket" or generic service solely depending on mileage. We also know for a fact we saved probably at least 25, probably closer to 50% off from what we would have paid at the dealership. We value expertise paired with personal customer service compared to being just another number walking into an overpriced dealership. No disrespect to the dealerships, we are just happy we have found Makellos, and don't plan on straying for our services from now on!

Great with classic Porsches both from technical competence as from service perspective

Where to begin! From several larger and more time consuming services to "fixing" a bunked detail job, Makellos is truly the best for any Porsche owner! You know you and your vehicle are in the hands of the most well-trained Porsche mechanics and aficionados in San Diego county! 5 Stars ++!

Makellos Classics is THE ONLY place to go for top-quality Porsche repairs at a great price! We have taken both our Porsches there several times. Tom is such a kind, honest, professional and capable mechanic...a true rarity these days! He always finds time to get the job done, and the costs are CONSIDERABLY less than at the dealerships! Recently he helped me with my oil change, got a guy to fix a ding (while my car was in for the oil change), and helped me locate a reliable and affordable company who could ship my car across the country. I can't thank them enough for their assistance, and am only praying I can find a mechanic HALF as good after our move! Keep up the great work, guys!

My car, 87 930, owner 12 years. Allow me to wax philisophical for a for a moment. With all variables in life when a standard must be determined, be it good, bad, ugly or indifferent it can only be done when the question; "compared to what" is answered. Through my search for the care of my car I have definately experienced the bad, ugly and the indifferent. I previously lived in the Temecula area. In my search for a "replacement" resource I drove the 40 miles to see the Makellos operation. Met with Tom (Mgr) who introduced me to Mark (my main wrench) and Matt (owner). Right from the start I had a good feeling about these fellows and the facility. All I could see were 911's. After some Q&A, I asked if they had a key drop for an unfortunate time I may have to drop off non hours. Matt, gave me his Ph#, and said; "If that happens, call me and I'll come down and put your car inside". My car had required some "special needs" (engine out) work. As well as "bad" work corrected. The car has never run stronger. By my standard, the "good" is as good, as good can be! As the adjective denotes my car is Makellos.

Had an absolutely superb experience at Makellos once again. Months ago I was searching for a used 911 and, upon finding a 996 Turbo, had Makellos do the pre-purchase inspection. Matt and Tom handled the vehicle as if it were their own and were excellent at talking me through the process of the PPI. When it came time for a fluid change and some tweaks to the radio and wheels, Makellos was my top choice. They were able to work around my crazy schedule and got my 996 Turbo sorted out. Thanks guys!

Spoke with Matt and Tom at length today and was thoroughly impressed with their obvious passion for classic Porsches.

I don't write many reviews but my experience with Makellos Services was incredible. I had a fairly complicated fix with my newer 911s cab and took a chance of using a local trusted mechanic instead of the dealer. All I can say is.. wow. Price, quality, detail, communication, customer service.. I've never experience anything like this from a mechanic shop. I almost wish they serviced more than Porsches so I could take the rest of my vehicles there but.. that is their specialty. If you are looking for any mechanic to work on your beloved Porsche.. it would be unwise to go anywhere else. Love these guys.
