Bob and Sunset Porsche...

He rocks. Great guy. Great help. I believe he's the manager..

Generally my experience with Sunset over the past few weeks has been terrific.

I ordered a bunch of RS and euro stuff including wheels, brakes, side skirts, lights, etc. Very honorable, responsive, knowledgeable, and pleasant.

Highly recommended..

Regards,

Maz

Agreed! Bob McCarthy is my contact out there and always comes through for me.

I've dealt with Aaron at Sunset several times. Always a breeze to deal with.

He got me the 3 spoke with airbag kit direct from Germany for the same price that most are sold for used on eBay, etc.. (took 5 weeks, but worth it.)

I have never had a bad experience with them

+ 993 for Bob, great service!

Bob and everyone at Sunset have been very helpful over the years. Highly recommended.

I use Gert, but have used Sunset 5-6 times and they are an excellent company to do business with. Very professional as well. I wish our dealer here had a clue.

The entire crew at Sunset are just terrific. I use Jeff regularly, and Luke was very helpful with my RS motor mounts order.

Shipping sometimes takes a while (even longer than ordering from Gert), and I wonder if it's because the Porsche warehouse (in Atlanta?) ships the goods to Oregon, and then from there it's back to the East Coast and my doorstep.

FYI, they do keep a good supply of Rennlist-favored goodies in stock and ready to ship (e.g. my RS mounts).

Sunset is great. Phil Coy is a great guy there to work with too!

I too have had great experience with everyone at Sunset. The last time I ordered some things from them they said it came out of SoCal..... For me in Canada i actually get stuff faster than my dealer can get it...

+1. I've ordered from them for more than 4 years without a single issue to write home about.

LAPD could learn a few things from Sunset's integrity, honesty, and customer service.

My wife knows Jeff Clark thru the credit card bills....

It's odd how no other Porsche dealer has seemed to figure out what makes Sunset so successful and tried to compete.

No kidding. The dealer here quoted 1 week for a drain plug unless I wanted to spend $30 for shipping. They think the exchange rate is still 1.5. I'm thankful for vendors like Sunset, FD and others.

They are great. And I wish them more business to keep the prices of OEM part 'competitive'.
