I have been taking my Porsches to Fred for roughly 10 years. Don't let the shop's small size and "rough around the edges" look fool you. Fred and his guys know what they are doing, and he will work with you on any project so as to not break the bank. Just would like to add that Fred is the guy other bigger Porsche shops in the area send their cars to when they can't figure out how to fix them.
Fred and his mechanics are the most honest and hard-working Porsche mechanics I have found. Fred is a master with these cars, with a lifetime of experience - though somehow makes you feel like you’re the only customer in the world, & works on your car himself until the job is done right. He doesn’t take any shortcuts, is a transparent and hasty communicator, and he and his team’s passion for Porsches is infectious, confirming the reason I fell in love with these cars in the first place.
Fred has rebuilt the rear and front suspension of my 912-6 3.0, with bigger torsion bars, adjustable spring plates, Bilstein shocks, setting the height & stance beautifully. He also installed a 930 brake master cylinder, steel braided lines, a Carrera oil cooler with a bigger Ferrari fan to keep it running extra cool, and plans to install front and rear sway bars, RS flares, Boxster brakes, and so on. The car is a completely different machine, and I look forward to years of improvements with Valley European.
We visited this shop after getting quoted for expensive service at the dealer, and the team at Valley European performed a thorough inspection and recommended a separate, but related fix for the same issue. They single-handedly saved us $1200 and performed the service that was actually needed, and gave us full transparency along the way. At pick-up, they had washed the car for us, which was a really nice detail that makes a difference! Note that they do not accept credit cards, but do accept checks, cash, and Zelle. We will absolutely be back here for future service.
Just had such a wonderful experience with Fred, Rico, and this shop. I had a real mystery problem with my BMW that the BMW dealership had problems figuring out. Months later, after they said they found the reason, I got a pretty outrageous quote to fix. At my brother's referral, I brought it to Fred for a second opinion, and he was able to diagnose and fix the issue for me. The warmth, kindness, care, and commitment out of this shop is just so special. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you so very much for helping me through a really stressful situation.
I had a fuel leak with my BMW and his shop was the only one open, which was a lifesaver. Fuel filter and hoses were replaced, but to the tune of ~$900. Later on I did the job myself on the same model (different car), and realized it cost under $100 in parts and 2 hours labor max. Appreciate the quick turnaround, he’s friendly and knowledgeable but felt it was a bit too expensive.
Had a stalling problem with my VW Tiguan, which two other local shops couldn't solve, even after one place replaced the turbo. Fred's shop has a diagnostic software system that plugs into the car which is so much more sophisticated and comprehensive. He was able to get two malfunction codes that pinpointed the problem area and ran a smoke test to find any leaks, etc.
As a result, no more stalling.
Very friendly and helpful. Totally recommend.
Fred is a Porsche professor. Excellent work knowledge and great attitude. I wish everyone was like him.
Brought in my wifes BMW for service after the dealer quoted me about $800 and Fred did the service for half the cost. Super nice guy, very knowledgeable and very fair prices. I will definitely be using him again.
