Akers is the best. They always do great work at very reasonable prices. The only issue is they are so good that they are so busy and getting an appointment last minute is simply not possible. Plan for service and book ahead.

Exceptionally fair prices and they know what they are doing! I watched them work on my Porsche and they did an honest job on it. He knew what he was doing, he went in, and fixed the issue. No fanfare, no fluff, just got it done. Mechanics of this caliber are hard to find in Seattle. Especially Porsche mechanics.

After a number of years and 17,000 miles in my old 911, I finally got around to an ignition tune up. Akers was the last shop to touch the ignition system back in 2010. At that time, thay replaced my car's nearly new Bosch parts with their own new Bosch parts.. without authorization to do so, of course. Turns out that they installed the wrong spark plugs in the car. Not just the wrong heat range, but the complete wrong application. Akers installed VW Bus plugs, Bosch WR8CC, which are considerably shorter than the correct WR5DC plugs that set the spark closer to the center of the combustion chamber, and run hotter to boot. The correct plugs made a significant difference in the car's driveability. Its too bad that Denny Aker retired prior to my visit, as such a thing never would have happened under his watch. Oh, and Akers install only 5 of these, but installed a WR5DC in the #6 cylinder. Yeah, these guys not only hosed me, they installed the wrong parts. Stay away from this shop.

The cliche about 'the test of time' is so true. I cannot say enough about the integrity and ethics of Denny and Mark Aker. They not only run a great Porsche shop, they are as honest and hard working as I've ever found in any business. And I should know. Denny serviced my 1973 911E and 1976 912E back in the mid-70's/early 80's. Denny and Mark then maintained my 1979 911SC for 35 years! I have taken my cars to them for over 40+ years and they have been rock solid in terms of advice, repair, and care the entire time. I recently bought a 2010 Carerra and parted with my beloved 911SC. Ironically, what brought top dollar and an immediate sale by a broker were the maintenance records that carried the Aker's name. They have both been there for the routine as well as the emergencies. They have always supported the Pacific NW Porsche Club and its activities. I have never met a finer pair and trust them without hesitation. From the moment I walked in and met Denny many years ago, I can recall thinking how great it was that there was still 'old school' service and sage advice/mechanical expertise from Denny, Mark, Doug and the rest of the crew. It still exists and is THE place to take your car. You'll always be treated with respect and care.
