- Prior to picking up his new @Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, MotoMan went behind the scenes at Porsche Santa Clarita to learn how they prep, inspect and service a brand new Porsche prior to customer delivery. The answer is FAR more in depth than expected as we learn on the Pre-Delivery Inspection test drive with the very man tasked with blessing this particular Porsche 992 GT3 touring for the road. A behind the scenes look into an area of the car world we rarely talk about and never see!

Mike's candor and professionalism have allayed the majority of my concerns when it comes to acquiring our first Porsche. Which, I am pleased to say, may be sooner than I had anticipated!
Having been involved in the Auto Industry for over twenty five years has truly been a blessing and curse. More often than not, I lean towards the pessimistic side of caution when proceeding with the dealership.
In fact, I was a former employee at the Penske Ferrari conglomerate back in the day and I must say the Porsche techs were _always_ top notch. They treated you like an equal regardless of your paygrade. The Jaguar techs on the other hand were, shall we say...carefree at best. Ferrari only had two techs, one of whom _still_ works for the dealership. Albeit in North Scottsdale now.
Unfortunately, I had very little interaction with the technician(s) for Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, etc. I think there was only one Aston Martin tech at that time but I digress.
Out of the entire dealership and the many banners they held, the Porsche guys stood out the most. Turns out that the majority of the Porsche techs are Porschephiles themselves. So their natural love and passion for these cars was exemplified through their excellent work ethic. The entire time I was employed there, I _never_ saw a Porsche tech hot-rod a customers car. I wish I could say the same about the others.
Nevertheless, I am LOVING this series on your new GT3 Touring. I welcome any and all content you are willing to share with us. Congrats again George!
Stay classy my friend.
Thanks for the great back story and insight. Appreciate the reception to these episodes . . . more to come!
"I treat every new Porsche like a gift to myself" nice way to put it. Great content as always MotoMan.
I thought that guy was Jonny Lieberman.
"Meet Mike.." says George in the intro.
Mike says, _"Hello!"_ with a smile.
Seems like a perfectly missed opportunity to say, _"Hi there!!"_ with a wave like Lieberman.
Stay classy my friend.
He would work for a body double 😂
Sounds like him too.👍
What a gentleman technician!
I always wanted to say that driving my favorite car was like getting too close with my wife but did not think it would be appropriate. But sir you said it and I couldn’t agree more 😊
Very cool seeing your Porsche 911 GT3 Touring being prepped, nice personal touch!
Just shows old world values. Quality in, Quality out!! Mike's values and attention to detail are evident and he has a wonderful future and clearly shows why Porsche has high quality ratings and repeat buyers for decades!!! In fact the quality is only matched by Motoman, you can see in every video how prepared and detailed he is, and it lets him tell a story and still lets folks ponder facts and relevance!!
Thank the driver for his service.
Interesting vid MM. I enjoyed it. Thanks/cheers, B
One of the best ideas for a video😍😍
True story: The plan was just to shoot the one premiere episode you already saw and include a clip with the 'tech' from in the car. However, now that you see that the 'tech' turned out to be the one and only Mike, he was just so good I had to set him up with his own episode. None of that was scripted or outlined.
Love it, very nice to see and hear how all this works, neat, thank you
Great video. Thank you for sharing. And the technician is a true gentleman.
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful car, we have a 997.2. Congratulations!
Beautiful car!
7:03 California gas prices are insane.
You're right. So that $50, I spent to fill up on 93 would cost me over an $100 there.
Also you should do more CZcams shorts, they seem to go viral easier. MotoManTV = Best car channel!
Glad you get to borrow it. 😉 10:03
That's some great insight to how Porsche techs go through the process of inspecting used and new vehicles, before giving it to their customers.
Your GT3 is awesome sir !
I wonder if Porsche will make a GT4 touring in the future?
I agree with Mike that the spec on that car is perfect... 😁👏👏
I enjoyed this. Lets me see what went happened before I got mine. What goes on behind the scenes….. thanks MM!
Love
31!!??? I was expecting him to say he was in his 50's. The beard along with the grey in it adds decades
I have never thought about the process before delivery.
Awesome Contant as always❤. This makes me wonder about lower priced cars and what their preparation is, from a more volume manufactures. My brain gears started turning on why destination charges are what they are, and what other companies do. Thanks for sending me down this rabbit hole.
Nice upload, I even learnt something. Thanks. e.g I have scrapped the under tray a few times, but not the nose as I have nose lift.
I wish my dealership took this same pride in delivery. My car was filthy dirty and scratched on pick day. Took me hours to clean it when I got home. Pd off!!
Congrats nice specs ❤
Congratulations! I am happy for you. Thank you also on your sage comment about living a debt-free life.
Elektra.
Please name your new Porsche Elektra because that Gentian Blue looks electrifying.
M, I appreciate you taking us through the journey of acquiring your dream car in this series.
So, M, did they let you keep the damaged diffuser?
Much respect to Mike.
Yes! They did . . . just picked it up. Will clean it up and hang it up in the hangar. Speaking of, at long last, you guys are getting a tour of the hangars tomorrow over at TFL Classics!
@@MotoManTV sweet!!
Looking forward to the tour tomorrow.
What does he mean by assisted clutch? That there is no clutch bite to the car?
Thank you for another fine vide-- Wait! WHAT? My wife - OR girlfriend?! Lololol. 🤪
Loved this episode. Very insightful and nice to see a bit of what´s going on behind what one can see at Porsche.
Thank you for confirming that the clutch is assisted, I've always wondered why there is almost no clutch feel on my 991.2.
Do they(porsche) often informed you of what damages your car gets during PDI or most times they keep quiet and just replaced the damaged stuff without you knowing...in your case, because you knew the dealership and you get to keep the skid plate.
Will you drive your beautiful GT3 before the new part comes in?
I never had to. I had a business trip the very next day after this shoot was wrapped so they kept the car and when I picked it up two weeks later, the car already had the new part installed.
You need to do a follow-up video specifically on that guy's beard.
Dream job.👍
(As long as he doesn't get into a fender bender. ) 😉
Hi, I’m Mike the Technician in the video. I have actually been T-boned in a customers car by a driver who ran a red light. Thankfully I can say the Porsche I was driving that day kept me safe and I can also say it was thankful that the car only suffered minor damage and we immediately notified our client.
@@richardson172 Glad you were okay! 😁👍
What is the new break in procedure now?
500 miles of no high rpm driving and as the mileage comes up the DME will unrestrict the rpm.
What’s with the brake squeal?!
Common on Porsches. As the brake pads and rotors bed together and wear the squeak will go away
More Porsche content pls 👍
MoneyPenny's first chaperoned outing
That was my choice of Bond Girl names when he proposed the question during the debut video.
Great minds think alike.
Stay classy my friend.
I love Porsche ............ I've had 4 over the years. My first was a 1970 White 911 Targa, followed by a 1972 Charcoal Gray 911 Coupe and then I purchased a used Gray 1972 914-6 (which I
raced at Sears Point Sonoma & Laguna Seca Monterey) and my final Posche was a 1980 Red 911 Turbo. I currently drive a 2021 AUDI SQ8 but watching you enjoying you're 911 GT3 is
giving me the itch for a new Porshe! Damn You 😊 By the way, how's the leg George? You look great my friend!
Haha not at my dealership.....
Audio a bit rubbish on this one eg 5:30
How is a brand new Honda prepped before delivery: Sign the papers and this is a coupon for a free machine car wash, two blocks from here...hope to see you soon !!
I spent the majority of my career working for Acura, then a little time with Porsche, and now I am a Lamborghini technician. The PDI process is pretty much the same for anything.
Can barely hear the guy
