Servicing and body repairs
Why do we not have our own service facility ?
By using a network of experienced specialists we can match the car to the best suited garage. The people who service a 3.2 Carrera for us aren`t necessarily the optimum choice for a 997 model 911 and visa versa. It also ensures a qualified third party casts their eye over our cars prior to their delivery. If you do your own in house servicing the temptation to turn a blind eye every now and again is often too strong to ignore.
That said we pride ourselves on our technical knowledge and for a car dealer our noble leader wouldn`t make a bad techie! We have our own full diagnostic facilities in house which allow us to interrogate all models up to and including 997, Cayman, 987 Boxster and Cayenne.
If you want to know where to get your Porsche fixed then these non franchised people may be of some use. We haven`t used them all but where we have we`ve included a few comments. If you have had experience of any other chaps then let us know and we will let the rest of the world know. As with all things make your own minds up with them, for every one who sings praises there will be someone else who moans, we don`t judge, we just pass on the info !!
