Carl’s Place

I only wished I lived in Las Vegas so I could have these great people work on my air-​cooled 911. I recently had the experience of working with Tony, Diana, and Ramon as a result of my purchase of a 20 year old 911. What an exceptional team they were to work with. I had them do a pre-​purchase inspection on the car that I eventually ended up purchasing in Las Vegas.
Because they knew the car and prior owner so well Tony told me that I could save money on the inspection and not do it because he knew the car was truly perfect. Since I have previously owned older Porsches and knew of the kind of unseen problems they can have I decided an inspection was still good insurance. As it turned out Tony was right. The only issues on the car were a difficult to lock glove box and a non-​functioning dome light (resolved by the seller). As a result of my very positive interactions with Carl’s Place, their reputation and their prior familiarity with the car, I decided to have them do some modifications to the car before it was delivered to me in AZ.
They did an excellent job in every respect. Tony and Ramon kept me fully informed of the progress of the work throughout. The end result of the complex re-​setting of the car to Euro or what is known as Rest of World height using OEM lowering springs was done perfectly with them setting the car to a lowered stance but not so low as to lead to bottoming issues, something that I had experienced on a previously owned 993 model Porsche.
In every respect I couldn’t be more pleased. The people at Carl’s Place are obviously very experienced with Porsches and their love and appreciation of these cars is evident in everything they do. They absolutely deserve the highest Unilocal rating

Tony and Diana are awesome and so are the levels of service, knowledge and understanding of Porsche 911. It is as good as it gets. Service? Absolutely the best I’ve ever experienced out of any automotive repair facility. Last November I took a working vacation to Las Vegas in my newly rebuilt 1984 Porsche Carrera. The morning I was to leave traveling back to California the car started missing and I couldn’t get over 40 mph. Ever been on any LV freeways at 40 mph? Fortunately I was able to get back to my motel and get a room, which was in North Las Vegas and grab the phone book. I looked up Foreign repair and Carls just stood out from all the rest. I talked with Diana, who was wonderful and understood my situation and handed me over to Tony. He patiently listened to my woeful story and said to have the car towed and he would see what he could do. This was around 9:30 am. By 5 pm my car was ready to go and running perfectly. Tony drove to my hotel and picked me up and then explained in detail what had gone wrong, a sensor on the flywheel that was overlooked by the engine rebuilder.
I was pleasantly surprised when he gave me the charges because I knew I had interrupted their day. It was more than reasonable. The best car break– down experience I’ve ever had in 55 plus years of driving and I was 500 miles from home.
I sure wish I lived closer.
This is what a repair facility should be.
Thank you Tony, Diana and Crew.

I got central rocking and alarm system problem on my 968.
Since I had a bad experiences with another service shop who doesn’t have good knowledge on Porsche, I tried to find a good one this time.
Yep, I found the best one!
When I brought my car to the shop, Diana gave me a tour in the garage and back yard with full of the legend Porsch. From electric powerd 914 thru 944, 928 and 911s.
Tony gave me a free ride back to my house and picked up when the car was ready.
Brant did a excellent job on my car. He showed me every single broken pieces that replaced and explained what are those.
I will go back again for the next service and recommend to all the Porsche owners to this place.

I came to vegas on a trip with the family on a 2009 Cayenne. On my way back to L.A. my driveshaft started acting up and had to come back to L.V. looking on Unilocal found Carl’s place. Tony is amazing and went an extra mile to help me to fix the issue. Unfortunately due to the short time and being Dec 30^th it was hard to get the part I needed to get my Cayenne fixed. I wish I stayed longer and get it fixed with him. Btw his shop is closed for the holidays and he was still helping me out. Incredible!!! Thank you Tony! God bless.

The service at Carl’s place can not be matched anywhere in Las Vegas. After taking my 928 to multiple shops, and dealing with mechanics who only made problems worse, I stumbled upon Carl’s place. When you call Carl’s place, Diana answers the phone. She is extremely helpful, and knowledgable. Even if you are calling about something they can’t do, they will tell you who can! Tony dropped me off at home, all the way in Henderson, and picked me up when my Porsche was done! Brant always worked on my car, as he owns a 928 himself. He does everything the right way, and never took any shortcuts. When I was doing diy work on the car, they were more than happy to answer any questions I had! There is not a friendlier staff around.
if you own a classic Porsche, I wouldn’t recommend taking it anywhere but here!

As good as it gets and really nice people too. Drop you off and pick you up even while you live the other side of town. Tell you when they are not the best deal and how to get the best deal and best of all they really know their stuff. Trust them with my Porsche — is there any better comment!

Tony and his team are great porsche guys. You can count on them to provide you candid answers to your porsche needs. They have provided me with assistance on my 996 and 944s.
