What an incredible experience buying from Santa Barbara Porsche! My process started by finding the vehicle online. David was responsive to my many questions and emails as I live 5 hours from the dealer. Upon arrival on pickup day the car was ready to go. It was displayed inside in a room on its own which made it feel so much more special. The financing/leasing process was fast. And Skylar’s onboarding process to the vehicle was super helpful. Upon driving away Skylar; David and the sales manager congratulated us and cheered us on. In my long history of purchasing vehicles I have NEVER had such an amazing experience. Thanks Porsche Santa Barbara! You have made me a customer for life.

I came in without an appointment to check out a car in their inventory and not only was a treated exceptionally but David took time out of his afternoon to consult me on what he thought was best for my needs and answered every single one of my questions with pride. Looking forward to doing business with David and the dealership as a whole.

From the very beginning of my journey to owning a Porsche 911 Turbo S, I was drawn into the orbit of Porsche Santa Barbara, specifically, their extraordinary saleswoman, Tracy. At a time when inflated markups were the unpalatable norm in the auto dealership landscape, Tracy was a breath of fresh air. Promising no markups, Tracy planted a seed of hope in me. Her commitment to maintaining Porsche Santa Barbara's principles amidst a greedy market struck a chord, yet a trace of skepticism lingered, shaped by my previous encounters with other local dealers(Newport, Irvine, Palm Springs, Riverside, Beverly Hills). As time elapsed, Tracy's steadfastness dissipated all my reservations. True to her words, there were no hidden charges, no unwelcome surprises – a stark contrast to the deceptive practices rife elsewhere. The integrity of Tracy and Porsche Santa Barbara sets them apart, standing tall in an industry too often shadowed by broken promises. Porsche Santa Barbara isn't just about their magnificent machines, but their extraordinary people, with Tracy leading the pack. They understand that value lies not just in the vehicle, but in the relationships they foster with customers. They sell more than cars; they sell trust, creating a unique bond that extends beyond the showroom. In the labyrinth of dealerships, Porsche Santa Barbara stands as a beacon of authenticity. My gratitude to Tracy is immeasurable for making my dream car a reality, free of any inflated costs. Her integrity and Porsche Santa Barbara's commitment to customer service have made me a lifelong advocate. I encourage those weary of dealing with deceptive local dealers to make the journey to Porsche Santa Barbara. It is a testament to their service that even though I live two hours away in Newport, the drive is absolutely worth it. The joy of driving home a Porsche free from unfair markups and the assurance of being part of an honest dealership are unparalleled. Driving my Porsche 911 Turbo S is not merely an exhilarating experience, but a constant reminder of a purchase journey that was as transparent and pleasant as one could wish for. And the cherry on top? The car is an emblem of Tracy and Porsche Santa Barbara's unwavering commitment to their customers. It's certainly worth every mile of the drive. Thank you, Tracy. Thank you, Porsche Santa Barbara.

I bought my 2025 911 from SB Porsche and they are next level on service!! Skylar Starks set my car up and I just sat and watched while she worked her magic. Don Sucich always gets me in for service (without delay). David Z. sold me my car and helped me pick out all my features. Like I said, they are the best!

Sarah in service is so attentive and so kind and patient with all my idiotic questions. My macan is like my child and she treats my car like it’s her own. She’s attempts to always get me in and get me a good loaner car. If she leaves I will go with her.

My name is Shelby Linka and I am writing this to express my shock and disappointment in the treatment I received recently at Santa Barbara Porsche. On 8/9/25, I sent an inquiry for a 2023 Shark Blue Porsche GTS which had been on their lot since 4/8/25. Dylan, a new sales representative, responded to my inquiry with a leasing option for the vehicle. On 8/21/25, I again contacted Dylan about this vehicle as I saw that the dealership lowered the price. I indicated to Dylan that I was still interested, but I was looking at another GTS with similar specifications. Further, I stated I would be interested in his vehicle if they could match the monthly leasing payment of the other dealership I was in contact with. Dylan then stated his manager, Rene, was able to lower the lease factor rate an additional $70 a month. He stated they were all in at this point and no further discounts were available. On 8/22/25, I requested to speak directly with Rene to directly discuss all options and pricing. I was told that a call could be scheduled the following morning. Unfortunately, the call was never scheduled because Rene was “too busy”. On 8/27/25, in a further attempt to negotiate with Rene, I sent Dylan and Rene information on a lease for the same car from another dealership. On 8/28/25, I was contacted by both Rene and Dylan. Rene began the conversation by indicating that he is very busy and does not have very much time. At this point, I stated I wanted to make this deal happen. We finalized the leasing contract, and I sent the dealership my license and filled out a credit application. At this point, I planned to make the 2 hour drive that afternoon, once the car was detailed, to pick up the car before close of business that day at 6 p.m. When I arrived at the dealership at 5:15 p.m. Dylan asked if I would sign the paperwork for the lease before driving the car, as they were closing in 45 minutes. I stated that I wanted to test drive the car before signing any paperwork. Surprisingly, when driving the car, Dylan and I immediately heard a loud banging noise coming from the steering wheel. At this point, not knowing the extent of the issue, I decided not to sign the paperwork until the car was checked the next day. I received a text from Dylan the following day indicating that he would contact me as soon as he knew the status of the repair. I asked to speak with Rene at this point. After several hours of no contact with the manager Rene, I sent an email to Rene’s manager Bill Fogg asking for him to contact me. Only then did I receive a call from Rene who indicated Bill Fogg asked him to contact me regarding my email to Bill Fogg. I expressed my frustration regarding the events that transpired the day before. It was clear to me that the vehicle was not ready to be leased, yet, both Rene and Dylan proceeded with the contract knowing I would be driving 2 hours to complete the transaction. Rene did not apologize for the events from the day before, took no responsibility for attempting to lease a car that clearly had not been inspected, and offered no assistance moving forward to complete the transaction. He minimized the inconvenience this situation caused me by saying things happen, they are working on resolving them, and they would follow up with more details. Please consider my experience when determining where to purchase/lease your Porsche. The dealership should not be allowed to continue these unprofessional and deceptive practices to any future clients, and I hope they will be held accountable for the treatment I experienced.

My first Porsche, and the team at Porsche Santa Barbara was terrific. They are all very professional, engaging, informative , and thoughtful. Everyone was really on their game from the Sales Manager, Rene, to Gage my Brand Ambassador, Skylar the Sales Concierge. Each of them were always personable and helpful.. The best collective experience I have ever had at an automotive dealership. Great team!

My experience at and with Santa Barbara Porsche has been nothing but a pleasure. From My Salesman to Service. I have bought Two Porsches in a year and a half from the same Salesman Extraordinaire Tom Siegel. I consider Tom a Friend because He is so kind, respectful and knowledgeable in all things Porsche. He is very upfront with everything. I built a (2024) 718 Boxster on the Configurator and the second one a (2026) 911 Carrera S that was built with options that I believe fit Me perfectly like I had built it Myself. (Such a Beautiful Color) I checked every Porsche Dealer from Monterey to I believe all in the Los Angeles area down to San Diego for a certain color and I saw something that I could not believe. The Price! All Others were at least $20,000 to $50,000 above MSRP. This is not the way that it is here in Santa Barbara. I received a fair deal with both cars. I have been Punching so many ”fun tickets” in both vehicles. Having such a great time. The cars are so Beautiful that I am constantly getting People telling Me “what a car” or “great build!” Where ever I go. My Girlfriend is getting jealous. I yell back “but what about the redhead ! ! !” SANTA BARBARA PORSCHE IS ONE CLASS ACT AS IS TOM SIEGEL. Thank You Tom, Todd and Skylar! You all are much appreciated. True Professionals R J Mello, Sr.

I had an excellent experience with Porsche Santa Barbara, especially thanks to Skylar Starks. She was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process of helping me set up and connect my vehicle with the My Porsche app. Skylar took the time to create a support ticket for me, followed up directly with Porsche on my behalf, and made sure everything was handled smoothly. She clearly explained each step, kept me updated, and was genuinely kind and patient the whole time. Thanks to her help, everything is now set up perfectly. Customer service like this truly makes a difference. Skylar went above and beyond, and I’m very grateful for her support. Highly recommend Porsche Santa Barbara, and especially working with Skylar!

I had an amazing experience at Porsche Santa Barbara. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was professional, welcoming, and truly passionate about what they do. I especially want to give a huge thank you to Gage in sales and Skylar, the product specialist. Gage went above and beyond throughout the whole process. He was honest, patient, and never made me feel pressured. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made sure every detail was handled smoothly. His knowledge of the vehicles and commitment to customer service really stood out. Skylar was also incredible. He explained all the features of the car in a clear and easy way, making sure I felt comfortable and confident before leaving. His attention to detail and enthusiasm made the delivery experience even more special. If you’re looking for a luxury car and a top-tier buying experience, I highly recommend Porsche Santa Barbara—especially Gage and Skylar. They truly make you feel valued and taken care of from start to finish.

I had a truly exceptional experience at the Porsche dealership in Santa Barbara. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Sarah, who was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout my visit. I came in for a repair, and she immediately made sure I was well taken care of. When she returned my keys, she had added a beautiful Porsche keychain — a thoughtful and memorable touch that I really appreciated. Sarah also connected me with Skylar, the Porsche Pro, who guided me through the features of my vehicle. She was knowledgeable and patient, and helped me discover several features I hadn’t even realized my car had — including the heated steering wheel, seat memory controls, and many other premium options. Although I did not purchase my car from this dealership, the level of service I received absolutely deserves recognition. It’s clear that outstanding customer care is alive and well here, and I would gladly recommend them to others.
