Who we are, About Praznik Motorworks

Where Passion Meets Precision

At Praznik Motorworks every Porsche that enters our shop is treated as more than a machine — it’s a piece of design, engineering, and history. Our philosophy is simple: combine old-world craftsmanship with modern performance insight to deliver service worthy of the world’s most exclusive 911s.

Our Story

Founded by Levi Praznik, a lifelong Porsche enthusiast and craftsman, Praznik Motorworks was born from years of hands-on experience with some of the most respected names in the Porsche world.

Levi began his career right here in the Ozarks, working at Porsche of Springfield, where he spent five years mastering Porsche diagnostics, service, and repair. That early experience built a foundation of technical precision and customer care that still defines his work today.

Driven by a desire to push his craftsmanship further, he relocated to Southern California, where he spent the next 8 years contributing to world-renowned Porsche restoration and performance programs, including Singer Vehicle Design and Gunther Werks. There, he helped bring to life some of the most celebrated air-cooled 911 builds in existence — projects that blend artistry, engineering, and passion at the highest level.

Now back home in the Ozarks, Levi brings that world-class expertise to Praznik Motorworks, offering the same level of attention to detail and mechanical excellence to local Porsche owners throughout Ozark, Springfield, and the greater Midwest.

What We Stand For

At Praznik Motorworks  our work is guided by three core principles:

1. Craftsmanship
Every repair, rebuild, and modification is handled with precision and pride — no shortcuts, no compromises.

2. Authenticity
We honor the Porsche heritage, respecting the balance between originality and thoughtful performance enhancement.

3. Community
Our shop is built for enthusiasts, by an enthusiast — a place where Porsche owners can trust their cars are understood, respected, and treated like our own.
