Our services

Motorscience offers a comprehensive range of Porsche-only services, from specialist guidance at the pre-purchase stage to regular maintenance, unexpected repairs, bespoke customisation, and full restoration.

How we work

We formulate a plan with you and prioritise according to your needs and budget. Our factory-trained technical experts complete the work to the highest standards, and we keep you updated at key milestones. Unlike larger, more commercial workshops, you have direct access to the lead technician working on your vehicle. We provide clear visual documentation of work carried out and maintain an ongoing log for each vehicle on our system.

  • If you are lucky enough to be looking to buy a Porsche, we can offer guidance on what to look for and, when you are ready, provide a Pre-purchase Inspection. It pays to be clear which model or specifications you are looking for and to have a reasonable understanding of the vehicle's condition.

    We have up-to-date diagnostic tools and our technicians are often familiar with the vehicle's history. Email us to discuss your needs.

  • Regular servicing goes a long way. If you want to decrease maintenance costs in the longterm and maximise the overall lifetime of your Porsche booking a regular service is the smart move.

    As an authorised Warrant of Fitness agent, Motorscience is fully equipped to have your vehicle serviced, freshly WoF’d and back to you - in time for your holiday road trip. Email us to discuss your needs.

  • Repairs aren’t planned. It’s why we try to keep room available for unexpected events or drive-in enquiries - with five hoists, plenty of work bays and a dedicated engine room.

    We have a loan car available on request, booking in advance is recommended to guarantee availability as we have just the one. Email us to discuss your needs.

  • Your dream engine and gearbox modifications are within reach. Motorscience can take your Porsche beyond the factory options to deliver a vehicle attuned to your desires. Explore our recent bespoke commissions on our Special wishes page, or email us to discuss your next move.

  • When it comes to Porsche classics, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more expert team. Whether you’re interested in a full restoration or ongoing care, we’re considered one of the most experienced workshops in New Zealand.

    Members of our skilled team were Porsche factory trained on the classics, so you know you’re in good hands. Email us to discuss your options.

“Our international supplier relationships are second to none. We hold exclusive industry connections with skilled craftspeople worldwide.”
