MARK BUIK
PORSCHE
SPECIALIST
ADELAIDE

Mark Buik founded Rennen Motorsport after more than thirty years working with Porsche at every level — from factory-connected training through to building the only dedicated independent Porsche specialist workshop in Adelaide.

His workshop has been featured in 911 & Porsche World, Classic Porsche magazine and in Retromotive — the premium automotive print publication distributed across 600 Barnes & Noble stores in the USA. Dan Furr, editor of 911 & Porsche World, described Rennen as feeling "less like a workshop and more like a true Porsche sanctuary."

Mark's approach is simple: if you own a Porsche, you deserve to speak to someone who has spent their entire career with Porsche. Not a generalist. Not a franchise service technician. Someone who genuinely cares about what happens to your car.
