Established in 1997, Autobahn Extremist has grown into our 7000 sq. ft. facility packed with the equipment to do the job right the first time. We offer a full range of service and maintenance for your Porsche.  Our customers have been with us for for a long time.  They've become our friends and our best sales people.  There's a camaraderie in this shop that you'll never see at a dealership.

We do the easy stuff and the really hard stuff too. And we go one step further - we can do the things that most people say can't be done.  We've lost track of the number of times people have come to us with problems that their other mechanics have given up on.  It's not magic, it just comes from an intuitive understanding of you car.


At Autobahn we can customize turbos, carburetors, exhaust systems and headers, build balanced and blue printed race and street engines, powder coat calipers and offer brake upgrade kits that can make you stop on a dime.  We can install fuel injection systems, lowering suspension kits, and performance components.  We offer track alignments, corner weighting, custom roll cages and fender lip rolling. Engine conversions, engine management systems and dyno services in our in house Mustang eddy current dyno.  We can rebuild your transmission, We can change the gearing for racers, and offer easy access to change transmissions track side. We install full 28-piece carpet sets, can color match and leather dye.   We are now slotting rotors!


And if you're just into styling we do that too! From Bumper to Bumper.


Autobahn Extremist has a Passion for Porsche, and Perfection is Realized!


 
 
  • The car guns great and the brakes are fantastic!  Nice to have a stable steering wheel too! Autobahn does EVERY kind of mechanical service for any Porsche - well equipped including dyno!  Engine building a particular strength and full racecar services.  Very satisfied with results - a Porsche service goldmine.  No "parts changer" - REAL mechanic!

  • I am the third owner of my 1958A Porsche coupe which I purchased in 1967 in Pasadena, CA.  I have lived in 5 different states and my car has been tuned and had major/minor engine work done by numerous mechanics over these 42 years.  Chris, at Autobahn Extremist in Rocky River, OH has been the sole caretaker for the last 6 years and my car has never run better since 1967!  Chris is just fantastic in what he does so that I get maxiumum enjoyment when I drive my (non-show) car out and about.  As I retire and move to New Hampshire, I know that when I need engine work, I will be tempted to tow my car back to Ohio just so Chris can do the work.  He is that good!

    Two added benefits when dealing with Autobahn Extremist is interacting with the receptionist, Debbie (C's lovely wife), and seeing in and around the shop a full range of Porsches which include regular and high performance street cars…

  • Chris,

    I enjoyed the drive home in the Boxster. Really did feel like a new car.  I was so impressed that I kept working on it when I got home.  Treated the leather, worked on the inner part of the wheels and cleaned and detailed the wheel wells.  There was still hard-caked mud in there from when my son drove it.  So now it's all detailed and ready for the season.  Thanks for your good work on the car. It feels great and safe.

  • 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 of Autobahn Extremist saves the day!  I was visiting from Boston and had a freak accident where my oil cooler got punctured.  It was a Saturday and the local Porsche dealer could not help me until Thursday of the following week.  I was truly out of luck.  I had to be back at work on Tuesday.  My cousin told me about this shop where the owner was a true Porsche "enthusiatic" and a good guy.  My cousin and I hopped in the car and showed up at Chris' home Saturday evening.  Absolutely inappropriate and rude, but I was desperate. He came right out and took a look at the car and politely told me to come to the shop first thing Monday morning.  Monday morning Chris finds an oil cooler all the way across town.  His wife Debbie, who is a wonderful person, goes out of her way to pick up the part rather than wait for it to be delivered - just to save me time because I had…

  • Chris is the only one I'll let touch my car.  He knows how to get the performance I want out of my 944 based on the way I drive it.

  • I stopped going to dealer repair shops when I met Chris and Debbie Moore. Their work is reliable and timely.  But, more than anything else, they are honest.  Chris doesn't try to replace parts that still have life in them.  He doesn't try to pad his bill with bogus charges.  He's down to earth and takes the time to explain why something needs to be done.  He's creative and is always cooperative.  Chris and Deb treat my cars like they treat their own.

  • Hi Chris,

    I just wanted you to know how pleased I am with the car.  I already have over 400 miles on it and things are great.  Frankly I don't ever remember it behaving so well.  I certainly don't remember it smelling like this.  I use the heater a bit in the mornings to keep the windshield clear as it has been a bit foggy at 6 AM on my way to Barberton and go figure it doesn't smell like oil.  As a matter of fact it never smells like oil.  I park it in the garage after work and it doesn't smell like oil.  You did put oil in it didn't you?

    So I wanted to thank you again for the great job you did on this car.  I know we had our moments over the last 7 months but the bottom line is that no one in the past 10 years has ever been able to do what you just did.  Thank you again. (complete engine…

  • 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 and Deb and Staff,

    Thank you for a job well done.  My car never ran so good, its fun to drive now, I just have to watch out for the speed traps and the Akron police.  Thank you also for treating me like a human being instead of a bank account number.  More and more places look to see how much money they can get from you for unnecessary work.
