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.

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!

My 2000 Porsche Boxster is now performing like the day I bought it. Over the years I have tried other shops in Sarasota, Bradenton and Venice. Thanks to Renn Haus my search has ended when it comes to maintenance and tuning. From the moment I brought my car in I got the feeling that Guy and his team love cars which is reflected by their knowhow and skill. I like precision work and that's what I got......so my search is over. Thanks again to the team at Renn Haus: and oh yes, I will be bringing my Cayenne S in shortly.

“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.

"If you want the best, look no further, this team knows everything there is about Porsche’s. I had several issues with my 1994 3.6 Turbo due to a bad wreck it was in. We discussed the problems, what was needed, the time that it was going to take, then Guy Covington, the Service Manager ,discussed the costs and I must say they were very reasonable and the car was completed on time within the estimated cost and the car is 100% perfect."
