Be it your daily driver like the Audi A4 in the foreground or the highly tuned and modified street shark like the 997 twin turbo, a race car like Rick's lightweight #153 911 Carrera RS, to a classic restoration like the slate grey '67 912 or weekend projects such as the little 914 and the awesome orange VW Westfalia Camper, we have your needs covered.

Some absolutely beautiful classic Mercedes-Benzes in for service including a classy 1973 420 SEL, a very rare early SL 550 AMG as well as a cute convertible Audi TT Roadster awaiting an oil change and safety check up.

An onlooker admires the clean look of this tastefully modified BMW 335i Coupe with its coil over stance and horsepower generating turbo upgrades. Just one example of German automobile tuning done right by the Bavarian Rocket Scientists at R & D Automotive.

If not for a few subtle clues, this photo could easily be mistaken as being from the late sixties or early seventies, but in fact is from 2011. The time honored skills and equipment from that early era are still relevant in our shop everyday.

The transmission is removed on a Porsche 996 Carrera 4S to create room to work and allow access to the flywheel side of the engine for a routine intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing upgrade.

Taken from where the transmission normally sits, this photo shows the flywheel side of the M96 Porsche 996 (and 986) engine, with the clutch and flywheel already removed. On top is the starter gear, in the center is the crankshaft surrounded by the rear main seal (RMS) and the intermediate shaft (IMS) access cover is on the bottom. The IMS bearing can cause catastrophic engine failure in some M96 engines so we often upgrade the bearing with a more robust racing style version as a highly recommended precaution. Contact us to find out more about the options and packages we offer for this application.
