Pursuit of Excellence

One of the most formative experiences in my career was having the privilege to start early in a Porsche repair facility that also serviced Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and Audi. I was allowed time around each marque and the premier auto technicians that serviced each one. It was here that I witnessed the most remarkable passion that Porsche technicians took to their trade.

I still recall the time when I mounted and balanced my first set of Porsche wheels and tires for one of the senior technicians. I was allowed to install them back on the vehicle, and when I was done I simply walked away and continued my other tasks. I was immediately recalled by the technician! Whatever could I have done wrong on such a menial and simple task I wondered to myself? “Look at the center caps,” the technician said. I did, but could notice nothing amiss. Seeing my confusion, he informed me that whenever I did wheel or tire work on a Porsche, the bottom of the Porsche crest that was embossed on the center cap should always point directly at the valve stem on each wheel. I remember thinking to myself, what an uptight individual. But time would only show me that every one of the Porsche technicians wanted the exact same result. I remember wondering to myself if they were that particular about wheel center caps, how detail oriented were they on the more technical repair aspects?

This experience stuck with me for a very long time, and it’s something that I’ve taken with me to Motoring Unlimited and endeavored to instill in everyone who works with me. Porsche technicians pursue their work with so much passion and sense of ownership, it is hard not to be attracted to that purpose and sense of pride in the way everything is approached. Motoring Unlimited was started with the goal of providing that sense of service to Porsche and Audi automobiles. We promise to always strive to provide the best service and experience we possibly can to your vehicle. That pursuit of excellence is our service guarantee to all of our customers.

Be Proactive

Talk to almost any auto technician, and they will tell you the key to keeping vehicles running well, today and down the road, is routine and scheduled maintenance. Yet many drivers tend to stall when it comes to keeping up with some everyday auto basics. Recent automotive surveys have found:

• 38 percent of cars had low or dirty engine oil.

• 54 percent had low tire pressure.

• 28 percent had inadequate cooling protection.

• 19 percent needed new engine belts.

• 16 percent had dirty air filters.

• 10 percent had low or contaminated brake fluid.

Most of the checks and services described here can be done at little cost, especially when considering the long-term cost of major mechanical failures. Motoring Unlimited provides premier service for Porsche and Audi vehicles. Stop by anytime and have one of our technicians check your tire pressures and fluid levels.
