Local Porsche Specialists?

[Guest]

Hi all,

I'm new to the world of Porsche, having just bought my first Boxster S and joined the PCGB. I live on the North East London/Essex border and am looking for a Porsche specialist in the area (rather than an OPC). Can anyone help me?

Thanks
Nikki

Hi Nikki and welcome! I have found Autostrasse to be very good. They are at 31, Priors Way, Coggeshall Industrial Park, Coggeshall, Essex, CO6 1TN Tel: 01376 562922

Thanks Martin. I'll give them a try as they're not that far from us.

I've used Autostrasse on many occasions and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

It transpires there is another Indy near Hockley, GWR Porsche. I only found out about them recently so haven't had a chance to check them out yet. They are only two or three miles from me so could be very convenient....perhaps near to you than Autostrasse, but not much.

JZM at Kings Langley, Herts. J20 on the M25.

There's also Porscheworx in North London. Spoke to the boss, Mario, the other day - he lives in essex and they do a collect / drop off service too.

would always recommend HP Motorsports in Hainault (Bracken Industrial Estate) - talk to Jo 020 8500 2510

Hi All,

As posted in the Boxter forum, trying here as well !

Newbie here...I cannot believe they have forums for this sort of stuff as well as Fantasy Football ![]

My Boxster driver side window stopped half way up recently, and after much frantic pressing and awful glass crunching noises, I gave up and manually pushed it up to the top.

My local garage does not want to touch it as there is an airbag in the door (and I think they are a bit scared to work on a Porsche). Is there a good mobile Porsche mechanic in the Essex (Southend) area, a longshot I know, or any recomended garages in the area if not?

Has anyone used GWR yet ?

Has anyone had this problem, and how much did it cost to put right ?

Another small issue is that the wheel nuts are matt, and they are a bit rusty. What is the best option, new nuts, or some sort of caps?

Cheers in advance, Si.

Have used Autostrasse in the past and would recommend, as Ocean says JZM are very good. Spoke to GWR at the Autosport show and got the impression that they weren't going to work out the cheapest - but no personal experience!

I'm new to Porsche ownership also. I have a 2003 Cab Tip coming up for 4 yr/48k service. I've got an OPC warranty from the previous owner. Can anyone tell me if I need to use OPC for servicing to maintain the warranty?

I keep my cars and do not change them and so cannot understand the cachet of having an OPC service history. My experience with Mercs is that a good independent is better and cheaper. How good are HP in Hainault?

Hi
I use the guys at HP Motorsport and I can only use one word to describe them.EXCELLENT.
They have looked after my Boxsters for 3 years and apart from being spot on with their diagnosis they are polite , reasonably priced and can always fit you in if you have an emergency. Definately worth giving them a try.
Cheers
