Porsche Fairfield created a video showcasing a Carrera GT engine removal, highlighting my Porsche Gold Meister certification. The 60-second time-lapse captures one of the most complex procedures in automotive service—removing the CGT's V10 engine—performed by their certified technician.
This video from my time at the dealership demonstrates the kind of specialized work that would become the foundation of Repasi Motorwerks.
The CGT engine removal is one of the most demanding procedures in the Porsche lineup. The V10 unit sits in a carbon fiber monocoque, surrounded by complex systems that must be carefully disconnected and managed. What appears in 60 seconds of time-lapse represents hours of methodical work.
Porsche Fairfield chose to document this procedure for their social media, highlighting both the technical complexity and the expertise required. By naming me specifically—"Gold Meister Certified Technician Jimmy Repasi"—they connected the work to demonstrated credentials.
The Gold Meister certification represents Porsche's highest technician achievement. Earning that certification required years of training, examination, and demonstrated competency across all Porsche systems. Combined with specialized CGT experience, it represents the foundation of expertise that owners trust.
This video captures a moment from before Repasi Motorwerks existed, when I was building the experience and reputation that would eventually support an independent operation focused entirely on the most demanding Porsche models.

Engine-out service on a CGT requires not just technical skill but deep familiarity with the model's specific requirements. Every connector, every mounting point, every system interaction must be handled correctly. The consequences of mistakes range from minor annoyances to catastrophic damage.
The dealership's decision to create content around this procedure reflects understanding of what makes it remarkable. Most Porsche technicians never perform a CGT engine removal. Having someone on staff who handles these procedures routinely—and documenting that capability—differentiated their service department.
The Gold Meister certification provides credibility, but the CGT-specific experience is what enables confident, efficient work. Both together produce the kind of capability that owners of significant cars require.
For CGT owners considering major service, this video illustrates what engine-out work looks like in capable hands. The procedure isn't something to fear when performed by specialists with appropriate experience and facilities.
For those researching my background, this video provides documentation from before Repasi Motorwerks—evidence of the dealership-level experience and certifications that preceded independent operation.
I'm grateful to Porsche Fairfield for creating this content and for supporting my development as a specialist. The foundation built during those years enables everything we do at Repasi Motorwerks today.
Porsche Fairfield's video showcasing a CGT engine removal—with my Gold Meister certification highlighted—captures a formative period in my career. The skills demonstrated in that 60-second time-lapse represent thousands of hours of accumulated experience that now serves CGT owners through Repasi Motorwerks.
