- Sixth Generation – 991 (2012-2019): Larger and more refined than previous models, the 991 introduced electric power steering and the PDK dual-clutch transmission as a standard option.
- Seventh Generation – 992 (2019-Present): The most advanced and powerful 911 to date, featuring improved aerodynamics, an all-digital cockpit, and continued refinement of Porsche’s signature performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mack Motorwerks services Porsche vehicles at 4522 Irvington Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32210, including 911, Cayenne, Macan, Boxster, Cayman and Panamera models. We use Porsche PIWIS diagnostics along with factory-recommended service procedures for maintenance, diagnostics, brakes, suspension and engine repair. Call 904-906-4628 or schedule online.
Yes. We use the PIWIS diagnostic system along with Autel platforms, which allows dealer-level access to Porsche control modules for fault diagnosis, adaptations and service functions. That matters on modern Porsches, where a generic code reader cannot see the module-level data needed to identify the real cause of a fault.
Porsche service cost depends on the model, engine and interval, so we give you a specific estimate after reviewing your vehicle and its history rather than a generic price. As an independent specialist we can often deliver dealer-level work at a lower total cost, and all repairs are covered by our 36-month/36,000-mile parts and 12-month/12,000-mile labor warranty.
Regular items include oil and filter service, brake fluid exchange, coolant service, spark plugs, air and cabin filters, and brake and tire inspections. Common repairs we see include coolant pipe and water pump leaks, IMS and RMS concerns on earlier models, PDK transmission fluid service, air suspension faults on Cayenne and Panamera, and coil pack or ignition-related misfires.
Yes. Jacksonville Porsche owners use us as an independent dealership alternative for factory-scheduled maintenance and repair. We follow Porsche-recommended procedures with PIWIS diagnostics, use manufacturer-approved fluids and parts, and document the work so your service history and factory warranty remain intact.
Mack Motorwerks is an independent Porsche specialist at 4522 Irvington Ave, Jacksonville, FL 32210, equipped with the PIWIS factory diagnostic system and staffed by technicians with more than 50 years of combined European experience. We also service air-cooled classic 911s, which many shops will not touch. Call 904-906-4628.
Porsche publishes long service intervals, but many owners in Jacksonville's heat, and anyone driving spiritedly or attending track days, are better served changing oil more frequently than the maximum interval allows. We recommend an interval based on your model, driving style and storage, using manufacturer-approved oil and a premium filter.
Yes. Cayenne and Macan are among the Porsches we see most often, and we handle their scheduled maintenance, air suspension faults, coolant and water pump leaks, transfer case concerns, brake service and electronic diagnostics with PIWIS. Both models are frequently daily-driven, so staying on maintenance intervals matters.
Yes. With PIWIS we can read module-level fault data across the vehicle, run factory test plans and view live values, which is what modern Porsche diagnosis requires. Generic scan tools frequently report a code without the context needed to identify the real fault, leading to parts being replaced unnecessarily.
Yes. Air-cooled Porsche work is a specialty at our shop, covering pre-1999 911 models. These cars rely on oil for cooling and demand experience with their ignition, cooling tin, fuel and oil systems. We can also set up a time-based maintenance plan for a 911 that is stored and driven occasionally.
