Can vouch for Grant and the team at Autohaus as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted 3April, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 3April, 2020 Thanks all for the responses so far. Interesting that no-one would recommend a main dealer service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read that your car is a 996 Turbo... I'd have no problem taking it to the dealer for annual servicing, that is what I do with my cars anyway. I'd suggest you call around dealers and independents & see who you feel comfortable with using, I have had some pretty unsavoury experiences I am sorry to say, but there is some great operators too. I use PR Technology, for the more involved work like track setup and other mods. They can of course do servicing and have just done my major on a 997 GT3 as well as bunch of other work, but there is not a huge cost difference with any of the independent shops, and the main dealers will give you one year Porsche roadside assist with every annual service, so this decision is really going to come down to your discretion or circumstances. The only reason I don't use PR tech for my servicing is because I live south so its just that bit further for me, so PCSS typically get the oil changes as that is close to home... otherwise I'd have PR Tech take care of the car.

Steve996 Posted 3April, 2020 Report Share Posted 3April, 2020 +1 for PR Tech. Had IMS, RMS and engine mounts done by them last year and they did a great job for a reasonable price. Also gave me a good run down on the things likely to need doing to help with forward planning. You're spoilt for choice though with both PRT and Autohaus both within a short drive.

I’ve had more than I care to think about right now done on the 996 at Autohaus and Mitch did a great job detailing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
