Excellent experience from start to finish. I was buying a used Porsche and used MPC to get a pre-purchase inspection done. They got back to me right away to my first enquiry, and great communication right throughout. Their PPI process was extremely thorough and the report at the end was detailed with pictures. Overall a great experience and it was clear that these guys really know their stuff.

From the very first phone call and throughout the experience the team at MPC were fantastic. The communication was excellent, with Aimee sending status updates throughout the day. The service I requested was to install both front and rear brakes, rotors and sensors. The labor charge was very competitive and so much cheaper than the dealership. They're already my recommendation for all my friend and family and will definitely be coming back for future services!
