    Best Service for Orange County

    If you had to choose, who offers the best service if you live in Orange County? Would you choose Newport Auto Center, McKenna, or Circle Porsche? And as a follow-up, who is the best service advisor at those locations?

    Thanks.

    Newport Auto Center is a gr8 dealer and almost anyone at the Service dept. is nice. I have bought 6 cars there and have a gr8 relationship with them. If there is ever a problem with sevrice I go straight to the sales manager and he will work it out with the service dept.

    Newport Porsche gets my vote. They have always treated me very well. I have bought 5 cars from them. Never a problem getting a service appointment and cars were always done when promised. And most importantly, the repairs were done right. Lastly, I have been fortunate with my current Carrera and Cayenne......neither have needed service yet except for a replacement key and key programing for the Cayenne.

    If you are out of warranty the best and most honest with the least price that I have dealt with is Alfonso at A&C german auto in Mission Viejo on Madero.

    All of the above re Newport Beach - and I'd stay way clear of McKenna! Walter's in Riverside is very good too.

    I've brought my 997S into Newport Auto Center for the RMS repair (appx 5200 miles) and just last week for the 2 year service (appx 12000 miles). The service is great and they usually can supply you a rental and/or shuttle. Ask for Rick West.

    I don't have any service experience with Circle Porsche although that is where I bought my 997S at.
