I've always been an avid exotic car enthusiast and have spent most of my career in the customer service and sales professions. My favorite aspect from all of my experience has been the relationships I have built with my customers. The trust one can build with satisfied customers is very rewarding for me. I believe that the greatest satisfaction at this level is making a customer for life. Then there are the cars. I fell in love with Porsche as a young boy. To me, Porsche is the highest level of Performance and Pedigree. Who knew I would be able to enjoy both for work. So, I guess you could say that this is a dream job come true.

Shima Fukano is Truly Outstanding, a 10+++++! !! Shima (pronounced "Sheema") is a top professional, steeped not only in the history of Porsche but also in the technical aspects of each model. He !! Shima (pronounced "Sheema") is a top professional, steeped not only in the history of Porsche but also in the technical aspects of each model. He listened to our needs carefully and helped my husband and I find the perfect car. After driving only BMWs and Mercedes, we are now Porsche aficionados. Shima does not "hard sale"; rather, it is his patience, expertise and truly impressive knowledge that led to our Porsche conversion. From our first interaction with Shima to taking delivery of our custom ordered Porsche, everything was perfection under Shima. The Danbury Dealership is run beautifully and the service, professionalism and knowledge are second to none. We have always bought our cars from dealerships in NYC...now we go to Danbury Porsche and ask for Shima. More

In my experience this dealership does not stand behind their work and correct their mistakes. I would recommend finding a different Porsche dealer to conduct business with. Here is the situation. I purc their work and correct their mistakes. I would recommend finding a different Porsche dealer to conduct business with. Here is the situation. I purchased a CPO Cayenne Turbo online in July 2021 trusting the dealerships CPO certification process to deliver a mechanically sound vehicle. I then paid a friends college age daughter to pick it up and deliver it to my summer home 4 hours away in northern VT. The Cayenne arrived at my home with a severely chattering transfer case (Porsche calls is a transfer box) and a chassis fault (PASM malfunctioning and would not go into Sport Mode). it is possible that the chassis fault occurred on the trip from dealership to my home but the transmission chatter from the failing transfer box (a common known problem in the Cayenne) indicates that the dealership never even test drove the car in the CPO certification process. Awful. Now the worst part, they declined to make it right and come get the car, repair it and return it to me. They also declined to arrange delivery or transportation for me to Bradley airport when I offered to fly in and out of there to get the car close to them on my own time and expense (there are no Porsche dealers in Vermont and Canadian border was closed). They simply refused to make the repair process easy for me and make me whole for my out of pocket expenses (never mind the huge inconvenience). I will NEVER EVER do business with Danbury Porsche again. I ended up getting the car to Hoffman Porsche near Hartford and they were EXCELLENT and even offered to pay me back for the Porsche Roadside excess towing charge to get it them even though it was Danbury Porsche's fault. I highly recommend Hoffman who went out of their way to make the process convenient for me including delivering the car close to Bradley to make my retrieval simple and fast. More
