When Doug DeMuro purchased his Porsche Carrera GT—his all-time dream car—he called me "THE Carrera GT guy" and described Repasi Motorwerks as "nationally and globally known" as the place to maintain, repair, and service CGTs. For his five million YouTube subscribers, that kind of endorsement introduces us to an entirely new audience.
This wasn't a sponsored mention or paid promotion. Doug's endorsement came from genuine experience with our pre-purchase inspection process. That kind of authentic recognition means more than any advertisement.
Doug's CGT purchase video documents a 17-year journey from first seeing a Carrera GT in 2005 to finally owning one. When it came time to inspect his prospective purchase, the CGT community directed him to us.
The day Doug visited our shop, we had eight CGTs in the facility simultaneously. Doug mentioned that concentration in his video—it illustrates the volume of work we handle and the trust owners place in us.
What meant the most to me was the specific language Doug used:
"Repasi Motorwerks is the place to maintain, repair, and service Carrera GTs, nationally and globally known."
"Jimmy is THE Carrera GT guy."
"When you buy a car that Repasi Motorwerks has looked at or serviced, you can be confident in that car."
Doug uses the definite article deliberately—not "a" CGT guy, but "THE" CGT guy. That precision in language reflects how seriously he takes his recommendations. He's built trust with his audience by being honest about what impresses him and what doesn't.
Doug's relationship with us continued after the purchase. He's planning to have a KW lift kit suspension upgrade installed—work that will bring the car back to Stratford. That ongoing relationship means a lot to me.
Special thanks to Repasi Motorwerks—the place to maintain, repair, and service Carrera GTs, nationally and globally known. At the time of my car's inspection, Jimmy had seven other CGTs in the shop—eight total in one place. When you buy a car that Repasi Motorwerks has looked at or serviced, you can be confident in that car. Jimmy is THE Carrera GT guy.

Doug DeMuro's platform reaches millions of automotive enthusiasts who trust his judgment. He's built that trust through honest reviews that don't shy away from criticism—when something disappoints, Doug says so. His enthusiastic endorsement of Repasi Motorwerks reflects genuine conviction.
The observation about eight CGTs in our shop simultaneously captures something important about how we operate. Maintaining that volume requires systems and expertise that develop only through sustained focus. Each car teaches something; having multiple examples in various stages of service accelerates learning.
I'm grateful that Doug took the time to acknowledge our work. His endorsement introduced Repasi Motorwerks to a much broader audience—potential future CGT owners who might be years away from their first purchase but are already learning about what ownership requires.
For the CGT community, Doug's endorsement amplifies recognition that already existed within the owner network. But it also introduces us to millions of automotive enthusiasts who might someday own a CGT themselves.
For current CGT owners, Doug's experience validates the approach the community has long recommended: have prospective purchases inspected by specialists who understand these cars deeply. The cost of a proper inspection is trivial compared to the cost of missing significant issues.
I want to thank Doug for his kind words and for trusting us with his dream car. When the most prominent automotive voice on YouTube makes an emphatic endorsement, it's humbling and it motivates us to maintain the standards that earned that recognition.
Doug DeMuro calling me "THE Carrera GT guy" reached an audience of millions who had likely never heard of Repasi Motorwerks. For those already in the CGT community, the video simply confirmed what they already knew. For me, it was an honor to be recognized by someone whose automotive judgment is trusted by so many.
