- Engine Protection
IMS Bearing Service
1997–2008 affected models
IMS bearing failure can destroy your engine entirely — costing $15,000–$25,000+ to rebuild or replace. This is one of the most catastrophic and preventable failures in Porsche history.
The factory IMS bearing is sealed with no continuous oil lubrication — making it prone to premature wear and sudden, catastrophic failure with little to no warning. We perform upgrades using industry-leading LN Engineering solutions, replacing it with a superior ceramic hybrid or permanently oil-fed bearing engineered to outlast the engine itself.
- Affects: 996 (911), 986 Boxster, early 987 Cayman — M96/M97 engines (1997–2008
- Best time: during clutch or rear main seal replacement — overlapping labor saves significant cost
- We also recommend: rear main seal, clutch inspection & bore scope cylinder check
- Resale value: documented IMS upgrade measurably improves resale price & buyer confidence
- Transmission Care
PDK Transmission Service
Every 40,000 miles or 4 years
PDK fluid & filter service runs $850–$1,200. PDK transmission replacement? $20,000+. Regular service is the most cost-effective protection you can make.
The PDK is one of the finest dual-clutch transmissions ever engineered — found in virtually every modern Porsche. Degraded fluid allows clutch material to contaminate the system, leading to rough shifts, solenoid wear, valve body damage, and ultimately, catastrophic failure. Fluid level must be set at precise operating temperature using Porsche PIWIS diagnostic software.
- Includes: dual-clutch fluid drain, gear oil change, pan removal, OEM filter replacement
- Calibrated: with Porsche PIWIS software at operating temperature
- Clutch adaptation reset: performed as required post-servic
- Interval: every 40,000 mi / 4 yrs — 30,000 mi / 3 yrs for track use
- Overdue signs: rough shifts, hesitation from stops, unusual noises
Every Service Includes a Full Inspection
We don’t just do what you came in for. Every service visit includes a comprehensive multi-point inspection so nothing gets missed and no surprise repairs come later.
