Driving route to the workshop
Benahavís sits a few kilometres inland, up the Guadalmina valley from the A-7, and the road in is the kind people buy a sports car for: narrow, climbing and properly twisty. Beyond the village, estates such as La Zagaleta have long, steep private roads of their own. It's no surprise that 911s, Cayennes, AMG G-Class and V8 biturbo Mercedes are a common sight on the driveways up here.
That kind of life is hard on a car in particular ways. Coming down mountain roads every day takes it out of brakes and brake fluid well before the service schedule expects. Short runs to the village or the golf club rarely get the oil properly up to temperature. And plenty of cars here belong to second homes, sitting for weeks at a time, which is how flat batteries, flat-spotted tyres and slow leaks go unnoticed.
Porsche and Mercedes-AMG are among the makes we see most, along with BMW, VAG and Jaguar. We handle servicing, diagnostics and repairs, ECU remaps, custom stainless exhausts TIG-welded in-house, and suspension work. We also work on supercars: Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Maserati, Bentley and Aston Martin. Message us first with the model and the problem so we can plan the job.
To be honest about the distance: 65 km is a long way to come for an oil change you could get done nearer home. Where the drive makes sense is specialist work, such as a fault nobody else has pinned down, tuning set up for your particular car, or an exhaust made to measure. Modifications are done to your spec, and keeping the car legal for the ITV or MOT is the owner's responsibility.
What Benahavís owners usually come in for
Mostly Porsche and Mercedes-AMG: fault-finding, servicing, brakes, remaps and custom exhausts. If you've got a supercar, tell us the model before you set off and we'll let you know whether it's something we can take on.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work on supercars?
Yes. We work on Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Maserati, Bentley and Aston Martin. Send us the make, model and what it needs, and we'll come back to you with a quote.
What tends to go wrong on a Porsche driven in the hills?
Brakes and brake fluid take the most punishment on mountain roads. Beyond that, the IMS bearing on 996 and 997 generation 911s is well known, as are coolant pipe problems on some Cayennes. We do all of these jobs in-house, including the IMS bearing and Cayenne coolant pipes.
My AMG sits for weeks at a time. What should be checked?
Battery, tyres (they can flat-spot when a car isn't moved), oil and coolant leaks, and the condition of the brake fluid. It's worth a proper once-over before a long trip or the summer.
Can you collect the car from Benahavís?
Yes, we can collect and deliver the car. The price depends on where you are, so ask us for one.
Do you make exhausts for Porsche and AMG?
We fabricate exhausts, downpipes and cut-out valves in stainless steel, TIG-welded to your spec. Bear in mind a modified exhaust can affect noise limits and the ITV or MOT.
