Originally based under the iconic Five Arches in Shepherd’s Bush, our name was inspired by our location beneath the 5th arch—a fitting nod to our humble beginnings. As we grew, we moved to Willow Vale before settling in our current home on Colville Road to better serve our expanding clientele.
At the heart of the business is Sam Katsaros, a true craftsman with an extraordinary passion for Porsche. Sam began his career in engineering with a background in aeronautics before transitioning to the automotive world. After gaining automotive qualifications, he chose to specialise in Porsche— a marque that embodies the same blend of performance and engineering excellence as his earlier work.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Sam has become a trusted name in the Porsche community. His philosophy is simple yet profound: treat every car as if it were his own, ensuring it runs at its absolute best. Whether it’s maintaining a daily driver or pushing the boundaries of performance for a track car, every project reflects Sam’s dedication to craftsmanship and perfection.
Sam’s passion extends beyond the workshop floor. In his limited spare time, he has personally restored several Porsches, giving these vehicles a second life rather than seeing them scrapped. His extensive knowledge spans Porsche’s entire history—from the iconic air-cooled models, to today’s cutting-edge water-cooled masterpieces.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of customers. From luxury car enthusiasts enjoying their vehicles daily to adrenaline-seekers pushing their Porsches to the limit on the track, our garage has been part of their journeys. Sam and his team thrive on the excitement of seeing these incredible machines perform at their peak and are committed to ensuring every Porsche leaves the workshop in optimal condition.
At our garage, history meets innovation, and every car becomes a testament to our commitment to excellence.
