Mark G. and his team took excellent care of us with our first ever Porsche PPI. Their attention to detail & customer service absolutely gave us the confidence to purchase our first Porsche, sight unseen! Many thanks to Ron B. as well for his personal seal of approval and help.

In 1979 I was 12 years old. I have no idea how an off the showroom floor 1979 Porsche 911 felt to drive. I do know how my 44 year old 911 drove prior to the engine and transmission rebuild by you guys. This is a totally different beast! All I can say is wow! My 915 gearbox is now unbelievably smooth and accurate, no missing a shift thanks to the Wevo gate shift kit out back. The motor (3.0 enlarged to a 3.2) pulls hard on acceleration and the sound of the SSI’s and GT3 style exhaust is intoxicating. Now when I put it away for the night, I can’t stop thinking about driving it again. I love this car more than ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My Porsche needed new tires and minor service work. Because of their fine reputation, I decided to take my car there. I am very satisfied with their service. Mark, the Service Manager, kept me apprised of their findings and progress. My invoice was reasonable. I definitely recommend Barnaba Autosport for any Porsche service need. They also have a great selection of pre-owned Porsches for sale. Check out: barnabaautosport.com

The Barnaba team is a class act all the way around. I had the most enjoyable and pleasant buying experience when I got my 2005 911. It felt like doing business with a good friend, and has continued to feel that way with the occasional service I have them do. This is a genuine family business and they make you feel like "one of the guys" and care about your experience. I will continue to work with them for the foreseeable future for my current Porsche and any others I may get.

I can’t say enough about Barnaba. Mark spent a lot of time with me discussing each detail about my car. This was a very different experience than going to the dealerships, all in a good way. I found my new go to for Porsche service or repair.I also found it great that they will help with suggestions if you are a DIY’er. I enjoy working on my car and these guys don’t mind if you do something yourself unlike the dealerships.

It was such a pleasant experience to buy a vehicle from Chris and the folks at Barnaba. From the first call right to post delivery follow ups, Chris has been super responsive, helpful and patient for this first time Porsche owner. The car was prepped with such great detail that it looked and ran better than I could have asked for. I'd highly recommend them and would gladly buy from them again in the future!

Not only was this my first remote online only auto buying experience, it was hands down the BEST auto purchasing experience ever, in over 40 car purchases.With enthusiasm, patience and no hesitation, Chris and team went above and beyond to provide me with everything I needed to allow me to make an informed decision, and I asked for a lot.The end result was a perfectly sorted georgious dream car delivered to my door with my expectations exceeded on every level.I will be back for my next P car and will also highly recommend Barnaba to anyone looking to buy a Porsche.

I wanted to share my experiences over the last 6 months with Barnaba and John Greco servicing my 2015 981 GTS. This is my first Porsche and I am ecstatic about it. Barnaba is the only servicer that has touched my car since I’ve owned it. They did a purchase inspection (the GTS was/is in pristine condition), detail, minor door dent repair, tires, tune, V1 hardwire install, and more. Barnaba and John have been the best car service experience I’ve had in years. John has been great and his team, equally great...friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating on dates and times for drop offs and pickups. John will take a text or call for consult and plans just about any time, any day. I plan to only work with John and Barnaba for years (and hopefully many more Porsches).

I think I found my shop! This place takes the best from the dealership experience (professional, on-time) and that talent you get (if you're lucky) from a masterful independent Porsche technician and combines that to give you exactly what you need: A car that drives right and the confidence you get from knowing that the right people worked on it. I was in search of a Porsche tech for nearly a year. A friend referred me to Barnaba Autosport and I called and spoke to Mark in their service department. I own a 997.2 4S and was convinced I needed all sorts of maintenance as part of a service interval. Mind you, I called two other indie shops and got quotes before speaking to Mark at Barnaba. Mark advised that I didn't need all of those things and took his time to explain to me why. I was still a bit skeptical, so I did a bit of research and everything he advised was exactly right. I took my car to Barnaba, they gave it a thorough inspection, I gave the go-ahead on a few more items and made a plan for the rest. Fantastic customer service and an overall pleasurable experience, I highly recommend.

Better experience than at any Porsche dealership or independent operator I’ve been to. Chris offered an unsolicited guided tour of the operation, and Mark patiently answered all questions and explained what procedure and servIce my vehicle needed. Seeing Porsche legend Ron Barnaba actively interacting around the complex was reassuring. Not many places make you feel as welcome or valued and mine is NOT a high end vehicle relative to their incredible inventory. I’ll be getting all of my service done here on my RS 60 Spyder and when I’m in the market for another Porsche, Barnaba is where I’ll begin.

I always appreciate the helpful advice and prompt attention of Mark at Barnaba Autosport. Porches are never cheap to service, the 911 4s is not an exception when it's my daily driver, but these guys are better than competitive with the dealer network where you are just another license plate.

Mark Greco and the team at Barnaba are best in class for all things Porsche! They’ve treat my 993 like their own and always provide accurate and insightful info about my car. It’s great having a local (Porsche only) group local here in the Fox Valley. If you need help with service, sourcing a vehicle or part or just wanna talk cars give them a ring (or better yet stop in and see their shop and all the cars!)

The only downside to having your Porsche serviced at Barnaba is that you want to drive home with several more. Sitting in their customer lounge is like sitting in a dream garage. You’re surrounded by classic 911’s, 924’s, 993’s and other 9-somethings from every decade in various stages of restoration to being ready to go to their new owner. It’s impossible not to take pictures (I’ll post a few here). But while you’re dreaming of your next Porsche, Mark and his team do a fantastic job of taking care of the one you have. I have a 2017 Macan S which I now bring in for all scheduled maintenance. But what really made me a fan is that they helped diagnose and resolve a drivetrain issue that the dealership couldn’t pinpoint and wanted to replace the entire transmission. What could’ve been a major costly repair turned out to be a faulty valve, and Barnaba saved me enough to start my own “Next Porsche Fund.” I am so glad I found these guys. And I can’t say enough about how friendly they are and how honest they are about the work that actually needs to be done. They will sit down with you, pull out an engine diagram, and really help you understand your car. You can even hang out and watch your car while it’s being serviced. It’s also reassuring to know that both Mark and his lead technician both came from the dealership where I purchased mine. Suffice it to say, they know Porsche’s better than anyone. But back to their showroom… I actually find myself looking forward to my next service visits just so I can check out the latest inventory. It’s an ever-evolving Porsche museum!

After forty-some years of hard work and striving to be able to afford a lifelong dream of mine, I finally found myself in a position to purchase that Porsche 911 that I have always wanted since I was 12 years old. I watched as 8 generations of the 911 evolved from the first model that debuted in the same year I was born, to the state of the art iconic sports car it is today. I eventually came to the conclusion that I could get all of the options that I wanted in a modern 911, if I bought a pre-owned vehicle.Oh, ..It was fun at first, browsing through all of the used car websites, checking out the local dealerships, etc. But it quickly became frustrating, as I realized it was becoming difficult to find that special car that checked all the right boxes regarding, performance level, colors, miles on the clock, the vehicle’s history, and most importantly, pricing. So, I thought to myself, if I have waited this long, I can surely wait a little longer and be patient with finding the right car for me.After a few weeks of relentless searching, I came across a beautiful 2012 991 Carrera S on a website from Barnaba Autosport, which is located a few miles west of Chicago. Everything about the car looked great on paper and checked all the boxes for me. Although I was a little apprehensive with purchasing my dream car from a dealer that was located over 350 miles away from me, I must say that I was quickly set at ease after reading and watching the video on their website. This obviously is a professional family of knowledgeable, and experienced individuals that have a passion for Porsches.So, I decided to call Barnaba Autosports and I spoke with Chris Barnaba. Chris was very pleasant and answered all of my questions regarding the car and its history. He also sent me a link to a detailed video walk-around of the car. Chris was very helpful and took the time to speak with me on a few subsequent phone conversations over the next day or two. After my decision to move forward with the purchase, I called Chris to let him know that I needed to schedule a flight to Chicago and get my finances in order to complete the transaction. He assured me that he would not sell the car and would hold onto it until I booked a flight and flew out to see it.Once I arrived in Chicago, I arranged an Uber ride to Barnaba Autosports, which is approximately 36 miles from O’Hare International Airport. Chris was already waiting for me and had everything ready to go. First order of business was meeting the car in person for the first time. It was everything Chris relayed to me, and more. Chris accompanied me for a quick test drive and pointed out the features of the car and provided welcome tips for ownership along the way. After spending some time with the car, we went back inside to sign the paperwork and close the deal. Once inside, I met Ron Barnaba (Owner, and father of Chris). Mr. Barnaba sat down with Chris and I and had a pleasant conversation about Porsche cars for a while. They made me feel at home and very comfortable with my decision to buy this car from Barnaba. They meticulously inspected the vehicle, and provided all the up-to-date maintenance, as well as a fine detailing. To wrap things up, before I drove away in my dream car, Chris assisted in setting up my cell phone and navigation system for my trip. A few quick pictures and I was off, with confidence that the car was well prepared and ready for my journey home. I had an awesome experience with purchasing my first Porsche with the Barnaba family and would highly recommend future Porsche owners to check them out.You won’t be disappointed.Thank You Ron & Chris, for providing this new Porsche owner a memorable and happy experience.SincerelyRon Klein

I recently bought a Porsche from them. It has been a dream of mine to own a 911 since I was a kid. They were FANTASTIC and accommodating. I live in Nashville TN and the communication and honesty I experienced with Chris was unmatched. I HIGHLY recommend if you are looking for ANY Porsche, give them serious consideration. Somewhere inside of me there a child smiling and giggling from ear to ear. Thank you Barnaba for helping me fulfill a childhood dream.
