Culmination Motorsports

Last year I inherited a low mileage, well kept, 2004 Porsche 996 Cab. From what I had heard in the community CM was the shop to use for inspection and repairs. Shortly after I took ownership of the car, during a spirited drive, I heard a pop and the dreaded “check engine” light came on. The car was not idling well, power was way down and it sounded horrible! I brought the car to CM and Ralphy quickly diagnosed the problem and informed me it was going to be a fairly major repair. He provided a detailed estimate, ordered parts, which took time to arrive due to back orders, and repaired the vehicle. Honestly, I thought the problem was terminal but Ralphy and his crew were able to fix the car. I am quite certain it is running smoother and better than it has since it left the Porsche fact

I paid for a pre-purchase vehicle inspection and could not believe how useless the information provided was. I’ve had other places in town do such inspections (including Arctic Import and Dean’s Auto Service) and felt like they all provided a usable report so a buyer could make an informed decision. This place just said everything was bad and it all needed to be replaced with their unnecessarily expensive parts. Not surprisingly, the vehicle did not need everything replaced (and certainly not with their unnecessarily expensive parts). Waste of money and time.

The Culmination team was amazing to work with! I brought them my 1971 911S for the start of a restoration process and they did amazing work, they communicated great, and helped me make a plan on how to proceed with my vehicle to suit my unique situation with the car. The knowledge this team has on these classics is unmatched and every time I come in I learn something new. This was a truly exceptional experience and I hope to get to do more with the team in the future, see you at the next Porsche Club event!

Asked these guys to fix the fuel line on my 1995 Mercedes. After paying over 5,000$, my car was returned with an excessive amount of smoke coming from the exhaust. I was told that the smoke pouring out of the exhaust was some leftover oil mixed in with gas and that it would eventually go away. Turned out my car was returned with a cracked cylinder. I was then told that I need to pay to have the entire engine replaced which would cost more than the car was worth. Was not an issue originally until I received the car back from these guys. Terrible customer service. Makes me feel like these guys care more about making money than helping people. Also the owner of the company tried to convince me to donate my car to him which drove the knife even deeper...

I own a 1987 VW Vanagon that I've had for over 5 years. I had heard about Culmination from another Vanagon enthusiast, so they had already come highly recommended. Over the years, my van has needed some TLC and the folks at Culmination provide that. I've had new brakes, new suspension, new tires, and a new truckfridge installed by Culmination, as well as oil changes and a few other random things. I really enjoy the level of detail Culmination provides, as well as the friendly customer service. Ralphy and his team are top notch and I know I can count on them to be there for my Vanagon needs. There's doing a job, then there's doing a job right and Culmination falls in the category of doing the job right! Thank you, Ralphy and team!
