My favorite examples of great customer service involve the client that love their cars and have specialized requests. From custom exhaust retrofits to arranging repairs and transportation on 918 Spyder's located 6 states away I love the opportunity to exceed expectations.
I often get asked what Porsche I would buy if I could afford any car? My answer is always the same. "That's not a fair question as I want them all." But as of today, I would state a 1973 RS. The car brings the best of the early air-cooled into one exclusive, fantastic, powerful, and historic example of what a Porsche should be

I'm excited for the opportunity to represent such an incredible brand as Porsche now! Some of my favorite moments with clients are when someone is new to Porsche and I get to absolutely blow them away with how amazing these machines are, sending them home as big a fan as I am. If I could choose any Porsche to call my own it would have to be the 935 Street, which is a 1983 911 Turbo custom build by Porsche Exclusive (the first vehicle made by this division!) as a road going homage to the Le Mans winning 935. I look forward to helping you find your dream machine here at McKenna Porsche!

- I've worked in luxury automotive service departments for 10 years.I have a BA in Psychology from California State University Long Beach.My Favorite client story: A guest drove in on a Saturday without an appointment. She was panicked because her check engine light had turned on suddenly while driving from her home in San Diego to the USC game. I was the only service advisor here that day and helping several other customers at the time. I did my best to get her car checked in, get her into a Porsche loaner car and get her back on her way to meet her family at the game as quickly as possible. She said she was not only grateful that I took her in without prior notice. She was so impressed to see a woman handling the whole department "so quickly, efficiently, and still with a smile on her face."If I won the Lotto tomorrow I would buy a 911 Turbo S

I have been with McKenna Porsche for 3 years and have been promoted to my current job role 12 months ago. My favorite client story is about a loyal customer. He a very sweet man and had recently purchased a cayenne. I loved how he involved the entire service department on his purchase experience. We all took pictures with him and his beautiful new Cayenne. If I were to win the lotto I would buy a charcoal grey 2019 Macan S. I think it is a beautiful cross between the 911 and the Cayenne

I started off here at McKenna Porsche 4 years ago. I love working here because each day is always something different. A unique Porsche collectable comes in, an exciting new client sparks a conversation with me.
I find it hard to just pin point one great client story, every client that I have encountered with is special. In one way or another. I've learned to treat every Porsche owner equal, from 911 owners to cayenne owners. When you own a Porsche its more than a brand it's a family.If I won the lotto I would want one but two Porsche vehicles, Panamera E hybrid turbo S, all black. Would be my daily commuter. 911 GTS 4s carmine red would be my second car. Both beautiful cars, on one I get the hybrid experience & on the other I get the natural feel of a 911 track car but on the street.

Client story -- A guest came in after spending 35 years working in law enforcement. She saved her money all those years to buy her dream car, a black on black Porsche 911. When she retired she brought in a check to buy the car. My family is also law enforcement so I understand her experience. I gave her some Porsche gifts and she was trilled with the gesture. Made both of us very happy.
