Looking for a good independent Porsche garage in London

[Neo]

My car broke down over the weekend due to a major coolant leak and I ended up taking it to the Porsche Centre in Chiswick, West London. It seems that the water pump may have gone. I'm covered by a third-party warranty, but it only covers labour at £80 per hour. The Porsche Centre charges £144 per hour. So, I'll have to pay £64 out of my own pocket for every hour spent on it.

I'm happy to sustain this on this occasion - however, it would be useful to know of a good independent Porsche garage in London somewhere (preferably East London or as close to Canary Wharf as possible) that doesn't charge full approved Porsche dealer prices.

Any recommendations anyone? My car is a 2006 Cayman S. Thanks! []

Thanks, guys. Jaz Porsche is quite close to where I live in London at the moment, so that might be worth a try. However, I was recommended Tower Porsche which is near to where I work and where I will be living soon. The Chertsey one is not so far from where I bought my car (Cridfords of Ripley near Woking), but I don't really want to go back there as 1) it's a little too far and 2) their customer service stinks as I found when my car became faulty shortly after I bought it!

HP Motorsport in Essex. Its on the central line so its an easy commute back into central London as well.

They are very good and labour is £65 an hr. Very happy with work done on my 964 recently.

WTF! That's why I stay away from OPC's - all rip off's and don't often understand older 911's (they are just not specialists as they think they are).

Drop down to the A3 and you've got GT-One near Brooklands at £67/hr labour. If you Fancy a drive out then RPM Tecknik near Tring (@ same rate). There is another well known in Essex somewhere - back of any Porsche Post will have it.
