Hi there,
Has anyone had experience with using Mobile Porsche Specialist (based in Maidenhead) to service and maintain their car?

Be interested to hear from anyone who has and their thoughts and experience using them. Thanks in advance.

 
I thought I'd share my recent experience of 'Mobile Porsche Specialists' and just give some heads up/warning. Thought it would be very convenient to get things sorted from home, but far from it. Not one aspect of servicing my car did they manage to not screw up. I was greeted by a low oil warning and a brake pedal that went to the floor post service. The garage was left in a state with leftover parts, nuts/bolts, mess, property at the back of my garage splashed with staining oil.
They decided they needed to take the car away to do some of the suspension work, it came back plastered in sticky tree sap. They wanted to charge in full before the work was completed and the car handed back (who does that?), and tried to do so aggressively, I insisted otherwise.
When calling them back to deal with post-service issue's, they denied any problem and accused me/the MOT garage of lying about said issue's (why would both parties do that?) and tried to charge me again for looking at it (with further aggression).
The suspension work they did started knocking badly. I didn't want them back again so took to another local specialist who found things dangerously under-torqued and have corrected their work.
Aggressive, unpleasant, incompetent, apparently hard up for cash. Avoid.
 
I got a quote for work once.

Unpleasant and condescending to deal with and once priced with same genuine parts against OPC they were approx 15% more expensive.

They appear to make their money out of using cheap parts and “under cutting” proper dealers or specialists.

For me. Not only NO but **** NO
