About Us

In Boerne, you might not expect to find a specialized Porsche service center, but that’s exactly what Bavarian Auto Repair offers. We bring the high standards of Porsche maintenance right to your backyard. No need to drive into San Antonio for quality care: our Boerne location has you covered with dealership-level expertise and genuine small-town hospitality. Our Boerne team is experienced with the full Porsche lineup, including classic 911 sports cars, family-friendly Cayennes, luxurious Panameras, and cutting-edge Taycan EVs. Despite our smaller-town setting, we’ve invested in the same advanced Porsche diagnostic equipment you’d find at an official Porsche dealer. That means we can tackle everything from a routine service on a 911 Carrera to troubleshooting complex electrical issues on a Cayenne using PIWIS factory diagnostics. We handle common Porsche repairs like cooling system overhauls, oil leak fixes, and brake service day in and day out. And we’re adept at the finer points too. Whether it’s programming a new control module so your electronics behave, or calibrating a PASM suspension after repairs, we have the tools and knowledge right here in Boerne. Being a part of the Boerne community means we value trust and relationships. When you bring your Porsche to us, you’ll likely talk directly with the technician who works on it. We’ll give you straight answers about what your car needs (and doesn’t need). Many of our customers love that they can avoid a trip into the city without sacrificing quality, and they often refer friends once they see the level of care we provide.

Lubrication

Average Service Interval

5,000 miles or 6–12 months

Service Descriptions

Comprehensive Porsche oil and filter change using OEM-approved synthetic oil and filter. This service restores proper lubrication, protects turbochargers and timing components, and ensures long-term engine health.

Porsche engines, including flat-six, V8, and turbocharged variants operate under extreme heat and stress that accelerate oil degradation. Routine oil service is critical to protect turbochargers, timing chains, and internal seals from sludge, varnish, and premature wear. Our process begins with a full inspection of the oil pan, drain plug, and filter housing for leaks. We then drain the old oil, replace the OEM filter, and clean the housing for a proper seal. Fresh Porsche-approved synthetic oil (meeting A40, C30, or Mobil 1 factory specifications depending on model) is filled to exact capacity and viscosity. The drain plug and housing are torqued to spec, and the engine is warmed to confirm oil pressure and circulation. Finally, we reset service reminders in the PCM system and document the service. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles or 6–12 months preserve engine longevity and peak performance.

Air Filter

Average Service Interval

15,000–30,000 miles or 12–24 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche engine air filter replacement ensures clean airflow for maximum performance. Our technicians install OEM-approved filters, inspect the housing, and remove debris to protect your engine and maintain power.

The engine air filter prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering your Porsche’s intake system. Over time, filters clog and restrict airflow, leading to reduced performance, lower fuel efficiency, and increased engine wear. High-performance Porsche engines, such as flat-six or turbocharged variants, are particularly sensitive to airflow restrictions. During this service, we replace the air filter with a Porsche-approved part, inspect the housing for leaks or cracks, and document the condition of the removed filter. For vehicles driven in dusty or high-performance environments, earlier replacement may be necessary. This preventive service helps maintain horsepower, throttle response, and long-term reliability.

Fluid & Filter

Average Service Interval

40,000–60,000 miles or 48–72 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche transmission fluid & filter service maintains smooth shifting and gearbox longevity. Our technicians use OEM-approved fluids, replace filters and seals, and perform PIWIS diagnostic adaptations where required.

Took my Panamera turbo in for service. They went above and beyond taking care of my automobile. After the car was brought back, there was a small issue with the check engine light coming on. They set up a time to come get it at no charge to me and returned it to our home without charging anything as it was something that they thought was fixed initially. I highly recommed Bavarian Auto Repair and will be using them in the future.

I travelled 2, almost 3 hours to take my Porsche here to get serviced for an oil change. The staff and mechanics were very professional and so, so kind!!! Dropping off my vehicle and picking it up went so smoothly. Oh and the office was very clean, stocked with drinks and snacks for their guests and smelt so nice!!!

Took my car here hoping for a better experience than the dealership. While the repairs I asked for were done it took far longer than I planned after telling them I needed it Wednesday. Communication from Bavarian wasn't great & I finally got the car back late Friday.

FAQs

Maintaining a Porsche can bring up a lot of questions, and we’re here in Boerne to answer them. Our FAQ section below addresses common queries we hear from local Porsche owners. You’ll find info on things like “How often should I change my oil if I drive short distances around Boerne?” (we might suggest more frequent oil changes than the standard interval, since short trips and stop-and-go driving can prevent your engine from fully warming up), “Can you code new features or retrofit updates on my Porsche?” (yes, we have the software and expertise to perform many coding and programming tasks, from key fob programming to enabling Porsche CarPlay in certain models), and “Do you handle Porsche recalls or warranty work?” (while we’re not an official dealer, we can perform many out-of-warranty repairs that overlap with known Porsche issues, and we’ll guide you if something is best addressed by a recall at the dealer). We also talk about how we source genuine Porsche parts quickly, even here in Boerne so that your repair isn’t delayed waiting for a shipment. Take a look at the answers below, and if you have a question that’s not listed, give us a shout. We’re always happy to talk Porsche and help you make the best decisions for your vehicle.
