Across the street from your Porsche Dealer in Bend, is a road leading up a hill. On the right near the top of that hill, is one of those building structures that houses several different 
kinds of businesses, and at the very back, is a VW/Audi/Volvo mechanic shop (you will likely see Vanagon's parked outside. I used Google Maps to find the Porsche Dealer
(Carrera Porsche) on 97, and you can see the road going up to the 2 buildings, and the cars/vans parked outside, across 97 from the Dealer:
