Caliper refinishing service

check out PMB Performance (https://pmbperformance.com/products/ferrari-dino-308-rear-calipers-restore-yours?srsltid=AfmBOoqZxv-HjhU6vU_sgfEb4HH-4-gqBkxad7uu6cQpOAYe7yNdtCpH)

They did an awesome job on my calipers last year. Although it looks like they are all about Porsche, F308 calipers are shared with Porsche (and some other makes).

 

Yes PMB is great, it was black and dirty when I sent it to them for a rebuilt and this is how they sent it back to me.

There’s also another place here in SoCal that does the same thing as PMB plus they can color match the calipers.

PMB cost me hundreds of dollars in needless repairs by installing an incorrect emergency brake part. All they offered was to send the correct part which was insignificant in terms of cost.

So I can’t recommend them, if anything I’d say stay away from anybody who refuses to stand behind their work better than that.

 

I just got my front calipers back from PMB and they were absolutely amazing to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend them and will be send my rears to them shortly.

I do not know the details of your issue however it sounds like PMB tried to correct the error in the work that they did and you are unhappy that they would not cover some or all of the costs associated with the consequential expenses you incurred. Generally speaking any company that would is a rarity and in no way represents what is accepted in the industry. Full coverage comes when you take your car to a mechanic and they assume all the risk with the job. It is part of their hourly rate and a big reason people try doing stuff themselves. Just about any parts supplier I have ever dealt with limits their liability to the cost of parts and not to anything beyond that. I think that is totally reasonable.

My experiences with PMB have been great and they are very well regarded in the Porsche community. I have zero hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

 

I would have expected some offer of a partial refund on their bill beyond the offer of merely replacing the incorrect part that they installed, which was relatively insignificant. Remember, they installed the part in the caliper when they rebuilt it, not my shop. My negative opinion hasn’t changed.
