New 997 ownership & Servicing advice

Hi Everyone

I'm seeking a little advice please. I am just about to get back to Porsche ownership again (looking for a nice 997 Cab 2007 or 2008 vintage) after a 10 year interlude.


My previous car was a 993 C4 and at the time there were very limited places to take her for servicing, with a choice for me locally of a good Indy just outside Coventry or the main dealer in Bristol, both being a 60-70 mile round trip from Cheltenham, Glos.

However, we now have a main dealer in Tewkesbury and an Indy called Cotswold Porsche specialist (CPS) at Toddington and another specialist called Peter Chambers in Tewkesbury as well as Pro-9 in Redditch.

I just wondered if any of the members had used any of these sources and could give me some unbiased feedback?

I am hoping to become an active member of the PCGB once I have my new car so any help would be most appreciated.

Regards.




 
Hi,

I live in Tewkesbury and have used 3 of the 4 you mention. I used Pro-9 and was happy with their work, but decided they were too far away to use on a regular basis. I've used Peter Chambers once and although I don't have anything bad to say about them, I haven't been back. OPC Tewkesbury on the other hand have been excellent in everything they've done for me. I haven't been anywhere else since the first work they did for me in February 2015. They even offered to provide support when I decided to replace the suspension myself on my previous Porsche.

Cheers,
Bryan
