Porsche Centre Glasgow open

I was told they will be doing MOTs eventually, and tyre fitting etc. Maybe takes some time to get the MOT Testing station certificate and the Testers logged by DoT. It is a great site but not as easy as the Westerton site for me to get to Glasgow when I leave my car for a service..... Still you can't have everything.
Had a look myself, very nice, esp the workshops. New receptionist poached from Audi across the road !!
The GT2 upstairs is seriously nice really head turning.
Best of luck to them
On the subject of Mot's who would you recommend in Glasgow that would be careful with the car ( totaly paranoid now )

So far I have not found anyone with the right equipment. I may not put my RS through MOT this year.... I had the jacking point bent - didn't realise until I came to lift my car up and felt the front jacking point bent [
]. I was hoping theOPC will be set up for MOT [&o]. I need to find a job in England where there are more specialist available to pick from.Harry

You don't need a specialist for an MoT - just someone trustworthy - in fact I'm a strong believer in having the MoT done somewhere where they won't have a vested interest in finding work to do - I previously got the GT3 MoT'd at my local National Tyre fitters - no problems.ORIGINAL: harry

Laterly I've always used Peter at Motortune - he can MoT anything and would know more about your RS than anyone with an official set of Porsche overalls on....
I agree about using people w/o vested interest. The location of Peter's shop isn't ideal. They have fairly high speed bumps bumps and if I remember correctly a rather steep entry from the main road - not keen on anything which may take out the spoilers, otherwise I would have gone to him long ago...

From memory you can avoid his speed bump by taking long route around his car-park. Also, you can get at his road via Station-Road rather than the main road.
Agree he's in an awkward location transport-wise, but the no-hassle MOT makes it worth it for me.
Visited the new Glasgow showroom to see it for myself very impressive huge workshop area ,asked about the MOT situation and was told it would be 9 months away although they have a dedicated bay and ramp in place at present ,also bumped into big Al and a old member from years ago Bob Barr .I wondered around for about 10 minutes and not one person approached me in that time ...not even to say hello apart from the receptionist on the way out .I did observe that 90% of the new cars where all PDK so this is the way ahead it seems ,(always said one day all cars will be made this way ) Getting there and back is a hassle without a car ,the train link into the city was good at the old place .Perhaps we will get a club night visit there soon ...over to you Scott
