Carrera GT Service

Carrera GT Specialists

More Carrera GT owners trust us with their cars than nearly any shop in America. We've built that reputation one engine-out service at a time—solving problems other shops can't diagnose and developing solutions Porsche never offered.

Our Stratford, CT facility stocks CGT-specific parts, tooling, and fixtures, so most services don't require waiting on Germany.

Why Owners Choose Us

The Carrera GT rewards expertise and punishes shortcuts. With only 1,270 built, finding a technician who truly knows these cars is difficult. Finding one who has worked on dozens is rare.

James Repasi has serviced more Carrera GTs than he can count. Owners ship their cars from across the country—and internationally—because his diagnostic instincts and repair quality are trusted throughout the CGT community.

This isn't a side project. Carrera GT work is core to what we do.

Engine and Driveline

The 5.7-liter V10 is a masterpiece that demands proper care. We handle everything from routine maintenance to complete engine-out service.

  • Camshaft replacement: addresses the pitting issue that affects many CGTs. Our solution is permanent—we warranty it for life.
  • Clutch service: carbon-ceramic clutch replacement with factory and upgraded options that improve drivability and pedal feel. Multiple configurations kept in stock.
  • Cooling system: inspection of radiators, hoses, expansion tanks, and auxiliary pumps that keep this mid-engine car from overheating.
  • Fuel and ignition: injector refurbishment, coil replacement, and fuel system cleaning to keep even low-mileage cars running as they should.
  • Compression and leak-down testing: baseline engine health documented and tracked over time.

Chassis and Dynamics

The CGT's handling defined a generation. We restore and refine that experience through methodical setup work and careful diagnosis.

  • Corner balance and alignment: race-derived geometry tuned for confidence, using camber, toe, and ride height adjustments to eliminate pull and improve turn-in.
  • Damper service: support for original Sachs units or upgrades to modern motorsport alternatives with axle-lift compatibility for real-world use.
  • Vibration and creak diagnosis: suspension bushings, driveline components, and interior trim sorted so the car feels solid rather than fragile.

Carbon and Body

The Carrera GT's carbon-fiber tub and body panels require specific care. We maintain bodywork and interior to concours standards.

  • Carbon panel care: assessment of UV damage, clear coat condition, and structural integrity with OEM-spec repair methods.
  • Paint protection film: full coverage installation with panels removed where appropriate, eliminating visible seams and wrap edges.
  • Interior refinement: leather care, switch function, and trim fitment so the cockpit feels as special as the drivetrain.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Buying a Carrera GT without a proper PPI is gambling with six figures. We inspect CGTs for buyers nationwide, often traveling to the car's location.

  • What we check: clutch wear percentage via PIWIS, cylinder condition via borescope, cooling system integrity, suspension bushing condition, service history, and cosmetic presentation.
  • What you receive: 400+ photographs, written findings with cost estimates, and a phone consultation to discuss the car—usually delivered within 24 hours.

Our PPI has saved buyers from expensive mistakes and confirmed when the right cars were worth pursuing.

Documentation and Provenance

Carrera GT values depend on documented history. We create records that protect your investment for decades and support future valuations.

  • Torque logs: every critical fastener recorded during reassembly, proving work was performed correctly.
  • Photo documentation: engine-out work and major services captured before, during, and after with hundreds of images.
  • Service reports: detailed findings, recommendations, and completed work added to your permanent CGT file.

Parts Availability

Waiting months for parts from Germany isn't acceptable for a car this significant. We maintain inventory specifically for Carrera GT service.

  • In stock: camshaft sets, clutch components, suspension pieces, filters, fluids, gaskets, and common wear items, plus exhaust options for owners who want more V10 presence without losing character.
  • Sourced quickly: vendor relationships and an owner network that locate rare components faster than dealer channels.
