"Black Forest Racing was the answer to all of my concerns with my classic Porsche 924 Turbo. So lucky to have found this shop with incredibly knowledgeable Porsche mechanics. John and Cody patiently took the time to explain exactly what I needed to do to get the service my car needed!
Highly recommend Black Forest Racing to anyone looking for a shop with a passion for cars as well as being able to perform top quality Porsche service!"

"These days it seems like the internet is filled with horror stories about businesses that constantly fail to do the right thing by their customers. Having spent my entire working life in and around various aspects of the automotive world, I see it all too often.
My 1990 911 had one of these 'mystery' issues that had more than a few Porsche guys scratching their heads. Many fixes and experiments were tried and many theories fell short. Having already spent far more than I'd wanted to, the last thing I wanted to do was drop the car off at yet another shop for another couple of weeks, only to get it back in much the same shape I'd left it.
I was told John is established and trustworthy among local PCA members and as a last resort, I decided to leave it with him. Over the course of days spent at Blackforest, John and Cody quickly identified various things in need of adjustment, some missed details in previous 'fixes', and a couple of items that were well beyond their 'sell by' dates. This was a starting point and while the car was noticeably better after all of this, we all agreed it hadn't yet reached it's full potential. As a result, John and Cody would ask for more time. It was clear this had become personal for them and I appreciated that they were more interested in solving the problem than finding extra things to bill me for.
A week later, mystery solved. Phrases like "it's a completely different car now" pretty much summed it up. 3 months later the thing starts, idles, and runs like a clock every day - and I couldn't be happier.
Throughout the time spent at Blackforest, the only parts that were replaced were parts in obvious need of replacement. Nothing was touched unless it related to the issue at hand and I'd been spoken to about 'why' & 'how much'. It's an old school approach that's often promoted but seldom practiced.
When it was all said and done, they probably could have charged more but they didn't. They fixed a car, but more importantly, they earned a customer."

First experience with Black Forest was great. Finding someone with experience in repairing Porsche 914's is becoming difficult. Went in for a valve adjustment and new shift bushings. Later found that the transmission had a bottle cap wedged inside. They sent a multitude of pictures (wish others would do this). Then worked with Cogscogs, who has worked with Black Forest, to get a rebuilt transmission with warranty. So happy to have found these two sources for my 79 Porsche 914.

Quality service at a reasonable price. They’ve serviced my Panamera twice and I’ve been pleased with the work.

Tuned my 944 Turbo and make a world of difference! So much more power and better driveability, highly recommended for anything Porsche!

Truly experts at racing and Porsche in particular. So helpful and willing to share knowledge/experience. Top notch!!!

Race Support +++

For my first racing may years I wasn't sure what to expect, wasn't sure what I would need. I hired BFR for support "just in case" but figured I could handle it on my own as i had done in the past...

What en eye opening experience. There was so much I was not anticipating or expecting. Cody was there checking over the car before and after every session. Great sense of comfort knowing a pro is going over things to ensure nothing was missed or forgotten. Once on track Cody was there providing support and spotting, again confidence building. Then after finishing a session, he was there to review data and help focus my attention for the next session/race. Not to mention mechanical support. Cody was right on top of things when I had a mechanical issue (cracked header), He had it out and repaired with time to spare, I didn't miss a minute of time.

Thanks Again!!!! You were there with assistance I didn't know i needed.

The best. Prices are reasonable, work is first class. Saved me buying a dud with a PPI, always happy to answer questions. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

If you have a Porsche that needs some lovin, these are your guys, if you like Porsches, these are your guys, if you want to see some amazing pieces of history, stop by, these are your guys. If you want to talk Porsches, you guessed it...these are your guys.

Cody and his crew are top notch. Racing, street, or garage queen Porsches, they will take good care of you.
