Testimonials

From the moment I met Chris Moore, I was extremely impressed. What struck me the most was the sincere interest he took in assisting me, a total stranger, with locating my first Porsche. Once I purchased the car, he spent time with me to discuss my plans for it, and never once made me feel like he had better things to do. Chris provides education when needed and sound guidance in the form of suggestion…never leaving me feeling pressured to do anything.

I live in S.E. Michigan, which has a number of reputable Porsche mechanics, but it’s very much worth the trip to Rocky River, OH to have Chris perform his magic. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my car with him and can’t imagine going anyplace else…no matter where I may live. I can emphatically say that Chris is an expert in his craft, his integrity is evident in everything he does and his attention to detail is unmatched. Perfection is what leaves Autobahn Extremist and Chris makes certain…

Chris and Deb,

Thanks for all of the work on my car. Although I haven't been able to drive it, I noticed how much better it tracked on the way home, the idle doesn't seem to cough when the clutch is pushed in at a light like it used to. The clutch itself seems to come out all the way now. I am hoping that I can get a warmer day so I can take it out to drive it more before I cover it until spring. I haven't even had the time to crawl under it and check out the heat exchanger yet! The sound pad looks great! I'm confident that Chris got everything fixed! Chris , thank you very much for the time spent talking to me about what needs done, is wrong, etc. To me that is worth a tremendous amount, and that is what will keep me coming back!

These folks do great work.  They have taken very good care of my M3 (installed Brembo caliper kit) and my mini (installed Koni adjustables on all four corners plus Hotchkis suspension parts). Never a problem. Always done right, done promptly.

I met Chris in 2002 when I started turning a 924S street car into a race car.  He's been a huge help in making ---and keeping---the car trackworthy.  I have confidence in the car because I trust Chris and know he won't let the car hit the track until it's safe and fast.

Chris has a remarkable ability to tune all of the systems on the car.  I had another 944 years ago (before I met Chris) and it never ran like this one.  Chris made my car run and handle way better than what I thought was possible.  Experiencing perfect engine tune, perfect alignment, and perfect brakes was a real eye opener.  It all adds up to a very tangible difference in how the car runs and drives.  I'm amazed by how good an older Porsche can be.

PS: I like Debbie too, but Chris is a way better mechanic than she is!  Sorry Deb.  

Chris has been taking care of my '83 911 Targa for five years.  In that time, he's done everything from oil changes to suspension work to exhaust upgrades, so when I purchased an '01 Audi S8 six months ago there was only one shop that was going to work on it.....Autobahn Extremist.

There are other foreign auto mechanics in the area.  Chris has three qualities that make him the only person I let near my cars with a wrench.....he knows these vehicles inside and out, he has a passion for perfection and he's honest to a fault.

Want more horsepower or better handling?  Chris knows how to do it.  Have an annoying noise that shouldn't be there or an intermittent idle issue?  Chris will find it and fix it.....and he won't sell you a $5,000 fix when a $200 part will do the job.

I've been to the other shops.  Never again.  If you want the best for your Porsche, Audi, VW or BMW there's only one…

I was recommended to see Chris Moore at Autobahn Extremist by Cleveland Porsche racing legend and long time customer David Bruce, after I recently purchased a 1991 911 C2.  My experience with Chris was first rate on all counts: his knowledge of all things Porsche is unbelievable, his commitment to speed and performance borders on religious exaltation, his shop is super clean and totally state of the art, and his personality is totally my kind of vibe (unlike the other shop in town, Steinel).  Thanks to Chris' wife Debbie, the shop is totally focused on service and communication as well, which makes the whole process smooth from start to finish.  Chris took my car and really transformed it from a decent car that ran fine to a car that sounded fiercer, handled much better and was totally dialed in for overall performance.  MY trips out on the Shoreway and through the turns Downtown at >110 mph are so much more fun now, thanks to Chris.  The Greater Cleveland Porsche community…

Hi Guys!   I can't tell you how great the car runs.  It's like driving a 2011 car!  It is such a great feeling to just drive and not worry. Looking forward to lots of sunny days this summer. See you in the winter to talk about some of her "cosmetic procedures" (now that her insides are perfect) Thanks again...no one else will ever touch the workings of this car! Autobahn extremist is a PERFECT name for your shop.  Secretly...I think (my boyfriend) likes my car better.  Faster...Stronger...his might be a little cuter (Porsche 356), but that's it.  In addition, he never complained about how is car drove until I started looking at cars with you guys. He'll be drinking the kool-aid too!   Sue

It was a pleasure driving home last night.  It is much improved!  I aslo appreciate all the stories and information you shared on the business and Chris's love for Porsche.  I will be in touch soon to schedule work on the remaining items on Chris's recommendation list.

I have a '83 SC that I drive every day, even in the winter.  Chris hates that and never misses a chance to remind me.  It doesn't bother me because how often do you find a mechanic who cares that much.  Deb saw me at a gas station -- filling up with a brand of gasoline that Chris doesn't like--and pulled in just to chew me out.  You can't find that level of commitment anymore.  The attitude is backed up with superb technical service.  First class maintenance and creative solutions for problems.  Chris overhauled my engine and the car runs better now than when I bought it nearly fifteen years ago.   I am looking forward to the next 200,000 miles and I wouldn't have the car worked on anywhere else.

When it came for a decision of either replacing my 15 year old 928, which I use as a daily driver and for some occasional track time, or having it brought back to the performance it had when new, I took the car to Autobahn Extremists for diagnosis of all that would need to be done, at what price, and the viability of doing the work.

Chris went over the car from front to back, and came in with a recommendation that the work would be entirely practical, and at a realistic price.

Suspension, electrical, power train, and a few incidentals were on Chris’s list, and when I got the car back, I was amazed at the difference.  I had a new 928.  It went like stink, cornered on rails, and was a total pleasure to drive.  The results were truly amazing.
