UPDATE Jan 2019 Mom no longer makes these she is 90 and her vision is not good, but contact Perry Kiehl here on the world. He has taken over making these. His screen name here is IronHillRestorationsUPDATE Jan 2009 Mom has changed to a more thicker style cover. Please see pictures
This is a service cover for a Porsche 914 hand made by my 798081828384858687 year old mother. This covers both sides of the car from the rear of the doors to the bumper and most of the rear trunk lid. A flap goes over into the engine compartment to help protect the lip edge of the trunk lid and there is a tool pouch also. This is made from black vinyl that has a cloth type backing to it to protect your cars paint. She also made a storage bag for the cover. What can I say, mom has skills!
These covers will fit cars with flairs also.
Price is $100 each which includes shipping in the USA. I will ship anywhere in the world
You can check http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=ST&f=18&t=37205 for testimonials from members on this site that have purchased one.
Since mom doesn't stock these they will be made only per request. I will need the money up front and will have the cover shipped with in two weeks of placing the order.
PM me with your request or post here. Thanks everyone

I bought one and liked it so much that I purchased a second for the mechanic that does all the "stuff" I cant.
GO MOM
LOL the first one I bought was for my mechanic, he loves it.. Then I just bought another one for ME>>>>>>
This is a great cover !! Had the car in the local shop for a tune up and that cover protected everything ! Really nice workmanship, good looking, and functional. This is a great way to keep from scratching paint while working in engine area. The bag is a very nice touch too !
I got mine yesterday - great product and thanks for the quick shipping!
Garold,
Did I buy one from you at the FFC? I can't remember.
These covers are really great. Stop using shop cloths and makeshift covers - this is the best on the market!! I bought some to carry for sale as well. Mom does some nice work!

Garold, just thought you would like to know that the 2nd one I got is getting alot of service. I gave to my mechanic for XMAS. He also uses it when working on Boxsters. Let me know if Mom is still planning on a 911 cover. I may buy a few, as I have friends asking me about them.

Brad Mayeur at 914ltd worked on my car earlier this year. I said, "you know, a guy in the world's mom makes cool service covers." To which he replied, "I know. We used one when we worked on your car!"

Michael
Just wanted to add my to a great product
just received mine from garold.
all I have to say is : "holy smokes, this cover rocks!"
no more worries when tinkering on the car. place it on the car and dig-in.
now only if it had a cup hold for my beer......
Let me know when they are available again. I need one.
Make that two. Please let me know when it is back in stock.
Just got mine and they are great. Tell your Mom thanks
Hey guys, Mom was having a little vision problem, so she felt she couldn't do them until her eye problem was cleared up. She is doing better now and feels that she can make them again.
Please note she has changed her material. She now would rather use a nice thick quilted material instead of the vinyl she was using because the cost of vinly has gone up and the quality has gone down, at least below her standards for it.

I will PM when they are ready. I would expect within the next week.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Mom still can't beleive that us "car guys" really like them.
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear your mom is feeling better.
This is truly a great product, tell Millie thanks...
Michael
As of 4/23/08 Mom has stopped making these covers for a while. She is having vision problems brought on by 40+ years of diabetes (sp?). While I feel her sewing is just fine, she doesn't. To quote her "I don't want to make crap stuff"
So for now everything is on hold, sorry no new orders. I will update here when (if ) her vision gets better.
Thanks everyone.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Give her our best. Hope things improve for her soon.
I got a call from mom last night that she has made two more covers and wanted me to check them out to make sure they were as good as she used to make. I took my cover over and I can't honestly tell the difference. The quality of the news ones are just as good as the ones she made in the past.
So I have two more covers for sale for mom. If you would like one please send me a PM.
Thanks!
I'll take one. PM sent. Glad to hear she is feeling better.
Garold, Glad Mom is feeling good enough to make these again, even if it is just a few at a time. Hey Guys, Millie is the BEST and you can't get a better service cover, PERIOD.
Say Hi to Mom for me.
T.C.
ooh, i want one, can i have it? is there one still available?

Mark,
mom is on vactaion. I spoke with her and when she gets back next week she will make some more up. I will contact you once they are done.
-Garold
Hello,
I am interested, please let me know what is needed to proceed.
Thank you,
Mike
I saw this product when I first joined months back and I think it's about time I buy one before any paint carnage occurs! So sign me up and PM me with details on how to finalize purchasing one?! I like that it comes in a storage bag too, it can be brought in the front trunk on road trips!
Forgive me if this was already mentioned but I couldn't find details on how the sides of this cover secure along the body line of the 914 beneath the side pillars? Are there magnets sewn inside of the cloth or perhaps it attaches to something else?
You are next in line. I will PM you the payment details. To answer your question, yes there are magnets sewn in the sides to help hold them up.
I have one more cover in stock so no waiting.
Mom's car needs a fuel pump replace ($650, have to drop the tank to get to it ) So she is in need of extra$$ (won't take money from me ) so if you have been thinking about a cover now is a good time to get one.
How's that for begging
Hey Garold, PM me with the cost for one more! I think I'm going to give one away for Christmas this year. As a matter of fact have you ever done a group buy for these yet? PM me if not and I'll get it started so Millie can get her car fixed!!!
One of the best products I have ever gotten for my car and it has a small tool pouch...LOVE IT......and use it all the time .even for travel a blanket in the rear boot
MikeC
The best thing I have bought for my car!
I have one more in stock.
I just sold my 914, so my "Mom's" service cover is for sale. Only used it 3-4times so it's perfect. $45 shipped.
Ken
Id like one if available!thanks,SMA
Ken , say it ain't so !! After all that hard work you put into it ?? Maybe get another one , huh ??
Jack / Jaxdream
Yeah...I know...wasn't an easy trigger to pull. Probably shouldn't have. Depressed over some of those life issues that always come around form time to time, and just not feeling up to enjoying anything. Put her on eBay during a low moment, and now she's headed to France. Did get about $11,000 for her though...not bad.
for Mom. I have more in stock
put me down for the last one!
Can I snag one of these still?
-Ross
I too would like to know if they are still available.
Ross, just sent you a PM.
Kenny, I will have more ready by the weekend. I will PM you with payment details.
Thanks guys.
Garold

My cover is amazing!!! I LOVE it. only issue is that where I was worried about messing the paint up before, now I'm worried about getting the cover dirty!
Just received MY cover
Got my cover today, thanks for providing a great product and the outstanding service.
I'll recommend them to everyone with a 914.
Thanks
Jeff
How do I order a cover? I am 3 blocks from Disneyland, Anaheim, CA. Wish I would have found out sooner
Fred
I am also interested in a cover. This somehow is new to me.
We bought 3 covers, a long time ago, and use them on every 914 that we work on! Very nice protection!
Rich Bontempi
These covers are the best!
Send one on over! Take my money!

Thanks again,
Mike
Hi,
I was wondering what the price for the service cover would be?
thank you
randal
Hi Garold,
What's the current price and availability on the covers?
I'd be in for two of them.
Thanks,
Luke
I have some covers in stock. These make great Xmas gifts.
I just had mine out while swapping out my battery
These covers are great, if you are thinking about buying one do it, you won't regret it
Garold - I would like one of the service covers when they are available. Let me know and I will PP the money to you. I love to keep our senior citizens busy.
Thanks,
Michael
Great service cover and really nice work. It fits great and love the storage bag it came with. Thanks for the fast shipping.
The continuing question, "Are these covers still available"?
Just finishing my car after ten years and will be needing one.
Thanks,

oops posted to the wrong thread! Mom's covers are great!!
Great Product, I love mine.
Hey Perry, post some information on these cover, colors, price. Best Mark
You all likely already know this, but if you can get your hands on one of these covers you will never regret it. I use mine every time I work in my engine bay. It is the best! I love the pocket that holds tools and small parts too. Thanks again Garold and Garold's mom.
What Cairo said - finally had the opportunity to use mine for the first time last week. it just takes a lot off your mind not having to worry about the paint when you're leaning into the engine bay....good stuff.
I just got a batch of 7 service covers. @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=13770 Price is $95 mailed to a US address, only one color:gray.
The only problem I have is I can’t ship until later next week. Too much to do and not enough Perry to go around!
Sign me up for one Perry.
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10753 I hope to get both within the next two-three weeks, but it could be a bit longer. Very hectic for me, trying to move and wrap up some 914 projects too
Is anyone supplying these? I messaged Iron Hill and never received a reply.
I need one of these! Perry, let us know if you have them available. Thanks.
I would like one as well. Let me know.
The umbrellas are a must have item if you park outside. Sun or rain. They don’t take up too much room when folded neatly.
I want to say the service covers are great! I have had one for years. But I do have a couple of suggestions for improvements.
1. Make it long enough to completely cover the rear of the car. Right now if something rolls off of the cover, it rolls onto the painted trunk lid.
2. Add magnets to the lower rear corners to hold it down in the wind. Adjusting carbs with the engine running can't be done in a garage, and the wind plays with the rear of the cover. I had it almost blow completely into the engine compartment with the engine running!
Mine is worn from much use. I am thinking about a replacement.
Just to make sure Perry sees this... @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=439
I would like one of these if available.
Cheers,
John
I would like to purchase one of your covers. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks!!
Cheers!
Howie
And me also, please perry.
I would of course pay for the shipping to the uk!
I have passed the service covers on to another member here who has gotten a commercial sewing machine and has started making these service covers and the 914 Umbrella Covers. Send mlindner a PM and he will make a cover for you.
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=13770
Thanks Perry. Pictured below are both the 914 Engine service cover and the 914 Umbrella top. Please see post at the top of page. (mlindner.914@gmail.com) or (mark.werks914@gmail.com)

I ordered an umbrella top in Silver!
Matches the car and should be a bit less heat gathering than the gray.
That can be important down here in Hell!
@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=13770 is super easy to work with, quick to respond, and refused payment until the top was "in process".
Looking forward to mine...
Other colors might be available. My suggestion is to hit him up.
I like spending my money with folks who are a part of the 914 community!
Just ordered the service cover! Thanks Mark!
