Thanks again Pete and RENN HAUS for your help in diagnosing the problems with my 2005 Audi Allroad. I will certainly direct any inquires for mechanical work on German made autos to you.

So I go to Mercedes Benz of SRQ and tell them I'm having problems with my convertible top...their response is, "You need a new hydraulic pump, that will be $2,400.00" My response, "No thanks."
I take it to Renn Haus on Clark Center Avenue and they say, "You need fluid, and that will be $220.00" I highly recommend Renn Haus to anyone needing service on their cars. Great Experience

Thanks for the great service. I was very impressed that when I took my 2006 Mini Cooper S into Renn Haus for a second option (after visiting the dealer) you found the core issue and repaired it at a fraction of the dealer quote!

Recently I had issues with my 2001 Porsche Boxster, after having new tires installed and an oil change.
The next day, every time I started my car white smoke would pour out the exhaust. The place that had changed the oil drained and replaced the oil to the correct level while I observed. No change - still smoked when first starting and while driving.
Took my car to Renn Haus, and Pete Conry quickly diagnosed the problem as “Someone over filled the oil on the initial oil change”. They drained the oil and checked the compression on all cylinders and found them to be way too high (235 -250) when they should have been around 180. Pete, conferred with the Porsche Guru, and was told to drain the oil over night along with the oil separator and retest the compression the next day.
All was as it should be and my car now runs beautifully. The mistake of overfilling damaged the Oil Separator, and fouled the spark plugs and could have caused serious damage to the engine had it not been caught in time.
My “Grateful Thanks” to Pete and his crew. All my future service will be at Renn Haus no matter how minor like a simple oil change.

Thanks for the good news about Pete. I just visited your office on Friday and the first person I saw was Pete and he called me by my name! He is truly dedicated to serving customers and he does it well. You couldn't have chosen a better man than Pete.

After experiencing the customer service excellence of Renn Haus’ team, I will not be taking my BMW anywhere else for service. Honest assessments, fair estimates, and a welcome experience from every member of their team--owner to technician—are the reasons why.
Thank you Guy and team!

Guy, I do want to let you know how much I appreciate the results of the effort Pete and Steven put into my '73 Benz.
As Pete may have told you, I brought it in for an R134 freon conversion. During the course of the conversation, I mentioned to Pete that I also had a hot starting problem that none of the internet Benz experts had any idea how to fix. My problem was that I literally could not restart it when it was hot. I tried a few things myself like a fuel pressure regulator, but no luck whatsoever. But I told Pete we'd worry about that once the AC was cold again.
Next conversation I have with Pete, he tells me that Steven had broken the distributor down and traced the problem to the trigger points.

I did not want to forget to write this thank-you.......
Jeff and I picked up my car about 2 weeks ago and promptly left for a short vacation in the mountains of NC (to cool off!), so I didn't get a chance to send a thanks for the supreme service I received (and my car) from Pete....

I am writing to thank you for the outstanding job your expert mechanic, Steven Jones, performed on my 1997 Porsche 993. I bought my 993 back in 2005 and the car has never run right despite being taken to multiple dealerships and local Porsche shops. I have finally found a place where my car was properly diagnosed and repaired. Prior to bringing my car to your shop, I wanted to sell it and rid myself of its misery. Finally, it now runs like a new car. Your mechanic has done what no other mechanic had been able to do. It runs and handles so well I now intend to keep it! I would go so far as saying it runs as well as my 2010 GT3! Thanks, RENN HAUS, you saved my 993!

"RENN HAUS performed their ECU upgrade/flash on my Mercedes with a K&N air. Results were a healthy increase in horsepower (25hp) with a boost in acceleration especially in 2nd through 4th gears. It is a lot more fun when merging on the Interstate now. Off the line acceleration has improved and highway cruise gas mileage has improved. Normal driving is seamless, smooth and transparent to the driver. But put your foot into it and the result is immediate and smooth. The responsive interplay between the ECU management of the engine and the 7 gear electronic transmission results in GO! GO! GO!!!!!
GUY COVINGTON and his folks at RENNHAUS made this customer happy!!!!!!!"

Thank goodness for Renn Haus and Guy Covington and staff. Our '89 Porsche 928 had been in storage for 4 years and when put back on the road was not functioning correctly. A dealer had quoted an astronomical amount to repair the transmission, a/c, and various other maladies, so I contacted Guy for his opinion. After his thorough examination, it was determined that what was really needed was some electronic repair to the engine and a complete tuneup.Now the car runs like new and the price was astonishingly low compared to what the dealer had quoted . We are most satisfied with Renn Haus and recommend them highly.

“You get what you pay for.
The work service and personal attention given to me far exceeded the cost of the work I received. My 2001 Boxster had intensive engine upgrades with each one documented on the dynamometer. Also had a GT3 body kit installed. I am so pleased with the performance and looks of my car and the technical expertise in helping me in my decision making. I will be continue to be a customer and always recommend Renn Haus.”

“Honest, Economical & Reliable Service
Over the past 2 years, I have taken my 1993 Porsche 968 to Renn Haus several times for routine service, parts replacement and a wiring issue. Guy and Stephanie have treated me respectfully as a valued customer and friend each time. The service has been excellent at a reasonable cost and I will continue to take my car to Renn Haus for all its needs.”

“Great, trustworthy experience
I heard about Renn Haus through a friend who had a great experience with his Mercedes service. My experience was no different. Guy and Stephanie have helped me maintain my E500 through careful review and explanation of each service repair. I have recommended Renn Haus to other friends and co-workers and will continue to do so in the future."

"I live in Fort Myers and there are only two places I go for my Mini: locally to get my oil changed and Renn Haus for everything else. I can honestly say now my Mini runs better than stock! The welds on my exhaust were beautiful. My experience with Renn Haus has left me with the feeling of the professionalism you expect from a dealer and the in-depth knowledge you expect from a high-end aftermarket tuner."

“Courteous and Professional
We are in West Florida on vacation and have our 2002 Audi A4 with us. While on a daytrip to Miami, our car began making ugly noises. After a phone discussion with Guy at Renn Haus, we had the car towed back to his shop for repair. Guy was extremely nice and went out of his way to help us. He even arranged for a rental car to be delivered to his shop since we were not expected until well after 5 PM. After a thorough exam and review, the problem was diagnosed and repair completed. Guy and Stephanie were courteous and professional throughout. The shop is spotless. What started out as a harrowing experience ended with smiles. We would recommend Renn Haus absolutely."

"Renn Haus gave me the real truth on the necessary repairs for my 2004 CLK500 and saved me over $2,000.
The starter on my car stopped working so I had it towed to one of the largest repair facilities in Sarasota. They gave me the estimate to replace my starter along with an estimate to repair my dangerous front end suspension that totaled over $2,000. This didn't seem right to me as my car has only a little over 45,000 miles. So I had that shop fix the starter and took my car to Renn Haus to look at the suspension. Their technician could not find one thing wrong or needing to be replaced on my front suspension and Renn Haus didn't charge me for their time.
So from now on I will refer all my family and friends to Renn Haus."

“Like having family in the business . . .
When Guy and Stephanie Covington opened Renn Haus, ownership of my Mini Cooper increased several fold. Not only did I no longer have to drive an hour and a half to Palm Harbor for service, I have found that everyone at Renn Haus (with whom I have been dealing for over a year) treats me as if I were family. Guy always tries to get me parts at the very best price and once took about an hour running me through a few notable features of my vehicle that I knew nothing about. More than once Steve or Pierre has "talked me down" by phone from some functional error. And, most remarkable of all, my mpg have increased 20%."

“Honesty, super service and personable...
I have several cars that are in often varying degrees of needed repair. Guy and Stephanie have helped me keep them tuned up, oil changed, rattle free, leak free, etc. Occasionally when I am traveling, Guy will stop by to pick up my car. They have always been straight with me and given me options to consider. Their "customer is king" attitude works for me. I never worry anymore whether the pricing is fair or the repairs unnecessary, They want business for the long term. I love going there because of the personal touch and quality of his service! His service team is top notch for my BMW.”
