This Rennlist thread in the East US regional forum recommends Repasi Motorwerks to the broader Porsche community. The characterization—"Jimmy (Repasi) is THE guy for any Porsche work on the east coast (or really anywhere)"—captures both the geographic reach and the level of confidence owners place in our work.
What stands out to me is the emphasis on character: "Honest, trustworthy, and top notch work. Very hard to find these days." Technical skill matters, but trust is what brings owners back.
The East US Rennlist region covers a vast geographic area with many Porsche specialists. For someone to recommend our Stratford shop as "THE guy" for the entire east coast—and really anywhere—reflects the kind of consensus that only develops over years of consistent performance.
The thread appeared in the regional forum rather than the CGT-specific subforum, indicating that our reputation extends beyond the Carrera GT to the broader Porsche community. While CGTs remain our specialty, owners of GT3s, GT2s, air-cooled 911s, and other performance Porsches increasingly seek us out.
The emphasis on honesty and trustworthiness resonates deeply with how I try to run the business. Anyone can claim to be skilled; demonstrating integrity requires consistency over time. When owners describe us as honest and trustworthy, they're recognizing that we recommend only necessary work, communicate transparently about findings, and deliver what we promise.
Jimmy (Repasi) is THE guy for any Porsche work on the east coast (or really anywhere). Honest, trustworthy, and top notch work. Very hard to find these days.

The phrase "very hard to find these days" acknowledges something unfortunate about the automotive service industry: trust is rare. Too many owners have experienced shops that recommend unnecessary work, underperform on quality, or fail to communicate clearly. When owners find a shop that operates with integrity, the contrast is notable.
Being described as "THE guy"—with the definite article emphasized—reflects community consensus rather than individual opinion. That kind of characterization emerges when multiple owners share similar positive experiences and word spreads through the enthusiast network.
Geographic reach matters too. While we're physically located in Stratford, Connecticut, owners ship cars to us from across the country. The recommendation that I'm "THE guy" for the east coast "or really anywhere" reflects how we've transcended local reputation to serve a national clientele.
For Porsche owners anywhere on the east coast—or anywhere in the country—this thread provides direction. When experienced community members make emphatic recommendations, those endorsements help owners avoid the trial-and-error process of finding qualified service.
The emphasis on honesty and trustworthiness signals something important: at Repasi Motorwerks, you'll receive straightforward assessments and fair treatment. We tell owners what their car actually needs, not what would maximize our billing.
I'm grateful for recommendations like this one that extend our reach beyond owners we've directly served. Each endorsement introduces us to someone who might otherwise struggle to find the right specialist for their Porsche.
Being called "THE guy for any Porsche work on the east coast (or really anywhere)" is an honor I work every day to deserve. The trust the community places in us—reflected in descriptions like "honest, trustworthy, and top notch"—defines how we approach every car that comes through our doors.
