galah66 Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Carlos from Cavaco Motors is excellent. If on the North side Autohaus Hamilton are also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 It will really depend where the car is located ..... is it in Sydney or outer areas.If you give us a suburb, it will help a lot ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonN Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 As said, it depend on location. if close to Northern Beaches, PR Technology is a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D2000 Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Concord. I think this is west of SydneyWas thinking VIP Automotive Solutions?Cavaco will be the closest specialist to Concord I think. For transport, I recently used CEVA for covered transport from Adelaide to Sydney and was reasonably satisfied with their service. Car was a little dustier than I was expecting (just a light layer) and for some reason the battery was flat when it arrived. Price was reasonable - about $900 depot to depot.

SimonN Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Was thinking VIP Automotive Solutions?While they seem to have a very slick, glossy service with nice colour pictures, I wouldn't go anywhere other than a Porsche specialist, even if they don't give you the glossy photos. The other factor of who to go to is what sort of car - air cooled, water cooled and what era. Whatever it is go with a specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks D2000I have used CEVA before. I'm not sure which actual parts of the transport were covered as the car got rather dusty as well, and seems like they may contract the work out. I was happy overall with their service and agree their price was reasonable. Prix car transport was meant to be covered, and being to the door I was at odds when the car came (perhaps just from the depot) uncovered, along with dust inside and out, and cooked...

JB Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Steve I got mine from qld, and was going to enclosed trailer it back, but after looking at $2k for the privilege I took the time off work grabbed a mate and drove it back. Not only did I get to enjoy and experience the car, it created memories and an experience in doing so. Best thing I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboT Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Autohaus just did a PPI on mine. $450 and to say it was detailed would be to underestimate what I got. As the seller i wish I'd gone somewhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidmarks Posted 23October, 2016 Report Share Posted 23October, 2016 Autohaus. Think about driving it back. I did and it was a great way to get into the car. Nothing better than a road trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 24October, 2016 Report Share Posted 24October, 2016 Drove my 964 home from Brisbane, was one of the best 3 day experiences I've had. Flew up with my fiance and often reminisce about how great the journey home was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveC Posted 24October, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 24October, 2016 Melbourne to Sydney for me - (only three hours spent on Highways) - still one of the best trips I have takenI've done this a few times and only in a rushTwice i flew up to Sydney after work, picked up the car and drove dark to day to Melbourne so i could work the next day at 830am. Not sure why I did it the second time. It was sort of hard work - air con on full cold, windows down just to stay awake. I agree it would be nice to pace it out.
