FACTORY MAINTENANCE
Your Porsche is a brilliant piece of automotive engineering. Regardless of what model you own, Porsche sets extremely high factory maintenance standards to help owners achieve the best possible performance and driving experience out of their vehicle. This is why it is imperative to follow the maintenance schedule for your specific model down to a “T.”
If you’re unsure what your vehicle’s maintenance schedule is, don’t worry — that’s why our certified independent Porsche maintenance technicians are here! The team at HOUSE Automotive is passionate about servicing all Porsche models, and we’ll know exactly how to service your vehicle based on its age, mileage, and overall condition. Save time and money by avoiding the dealership and visiting our independent Porsche service center in Los Angeles.

PORSCHE FACTORY MAINTENANCE IN LOS ANGELES, CA
To get the best performance and longevity out of your Porsche, you’ll want to closely follow factory maintenance standards. As certified independent Porsche technicians, you can count on us to do our work by the books.
WHY GO TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP RATHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP...
Whatever Porsche model you drive — from the rugged practicality of the Cayenne to the timeless quality of a classic or collector’s Porsche — you can trust HOUSE Automotive to take exceptional care of your vehicle. While we aren’t Porsche mechanics at a Porsche dealership, we prefer to think of our independent Porsche repair and specialized maintenance services as a good thing — as the owner, you’re getting the same (if not a higher) level of service without the typical dealership upcharges. Sure, maintaining and owning a Porsche can be an expensive affair as it is…but look at what you’re driving! It’s worth paying more to own and maintain a beautiful, high-performing Porsche than your typical, run-of-the-mill commuter car.
SPECIALIZED SERVICE
While we appreciate every model that Porsche has produced over time, HOUSE Automotive also understands that each Porsche model is different, and therefore requires specialized service. Obviously, a Carrera GT necessitates a different maintenance schedule and repair jobs than a Cayenne or Panamera. This is why our certified independent Porsche mechanic team follows Porsche maintenance schedules by the book as mandated by the Porsche brand itself. Again, we’re not an official dealership, but we possess the same up-to-date knowledge and skills as other Porsche mechanics around the world, and so any services at HOUSE Automotive will be performed with the same or even greater level of precision and quality as you’d find at your local dealer.

SELECT YOUR MODEL TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SPECIALIZED MAINTENANCE
Curious about what Porsche’s official maintenance schedule is for the particular model(s) that you own? Choose your model below to learn more about what needs to take place (and when it needs to take place) in order to keep your Porsche in optimal running condition. As passionate about Porsche vehicles as our fellow owners are, HOUSE Automotive is proud to keep Southern California’s Porsche community running strong for miles and miles to come.
PORSCHE CLASSICS
If there’s one thing that Porsche owners love to do, it’s turning people’s heads as they drive by. All standard Porsche models are incredibly striking vehicles in both their design and performance, but a classic Porsche really stands out from the crowd. As any classic Porsche owner (or just about any classic car owner in general) knows, even going for a short drive down to the grocery store on a nice, sunny Sunday afternoon is sure to garner some well-deserved attention. However, as nice as it is to own a classic, these models require special attention to Porsche maintenance and repair jobs due to their older status as vehicles. That’s why HOUSE Automotive offers classic Porsche service at our independent Porsche service center in Pasadena.
Here are some of the classic Porsche models we specialize in servicing:
- 1985-2/92 Classic 944
- 1985-95 Classic 928
- 1987-88 Classic 924S
- 1989-94 911 C2/C4/RS/Turbo (964)
- 1992-95 Classic 968
Sharing your passion for classic Porsches, we have respect for your Sunday driver — or even your daily driver if that’s how you roll! Of course, the last thing that you want to happen is roll to a stop on the side of the road because something went wrong underneath the hood. If you’ve gone too long or put too many miles on your classic Porsche since you last went in for service, you could very well find yourself in a situation such as this. By visiting HOUSE Automotive for regular classic Porsche maintenance and service, you (and whoever is enjoying the ride up front with you) can enjoy miles and miles of carefree driving. To us, that’s the way that it should be.

'95-'98 911 CARRERA/TURBO™ (993)
In terms of setting the standard for good-looking and fun-to-drive vehicles, the 911 Carrera is, in our biased opinion, the car out there that consistently turns heads and floors passengers back in their seats. Whether brand new just off the lot or a tried-and-true classic such as the 993 series, every 911 Carrera and Carrera Turbo ever produced is just fun to drive and fun to own. That’s one of the many reasons why HOUSE Automotive enjoys working on these incredible machines — we know that we’re supporting a machine that brings you joy when you drive it.
Replacing the iconic 964 model, the 993 marked the end of air-cooled 911 Carreras across the Porsche brand worldwide. HOUSE Automotive also respects and acknowledges the fact that the 993 is, more or less, considered as the best and most desirable model of the 911 series — which is saying a lot! When you consider the pure beauty and jaw-dropping raw performance (even by today’s standards) of such a vehicle, what you’re left with is what many Porsche enthusiasts call the “King of Porsche” and “the last complete ‘modern classic’.” We agree.
To no surprise, Road & Track magazine wrote an article highlighting the true beauty of this high-performance machine. Believed to be built during a golden age for Porsche during the heart of the 90s, writers from the magazine even described the 993 as a car that “actually lives up to the hype.” Which, again, is quite the statement when you consider that many cars are hyped up, to say the least.
Truly, the 993 is a special machine that requires special maintenance from a team of classic Porsche service specialists in Pasadena that you can trust. At HOUSE Automotive, we firmly believe that we are that team. Read more below about what service items to keep in mind for your valuable 993, and feel free to get in touch with us directly with any questions about upkeeping your classic 911 Carrera.
