Porsche Inspection in October

I seem to recall seeing something in the Porsche Post about free inspections at one's local OPC some Saturday in October. Are these worth participating in? Mine will have just had its MOT but presumably this is more Porsche specific? Thanks in advance for any views. Best regards, Andrew
 
No such thing as a free lunch. I suspect they do these as invariably they will find something on the car which needs doing either under warranty (which is fine for you as you will not have to pay) or not. I tend to take my car to an OPC only when I need to!
 
So cynical :)

I've been to several of these free inspections, they're excellent. You'll get a mechanic put the car on a ramp spending 45 minutes or so looking over your car with you. You can ask loads of questions and get to know how it all works, common problems etc. Any small sundries need replacing they'll do that FOC. They'll also check your tyres for you and write a report. Then you can decide to get a warranty (with the inspecting fee now waived) or just say thank you and that's it.

It really is a free lunch.
 
So I rang Tonbridge OPC who tell me that this is just for 996's. Did I misread the advert or are they off on a frolic of their own (I dont have my Porsche Post to hand)?
 
Not for 996's only, or any other vintage of 911. I've just booked my '88 Carrera into my local OPC for the free check and they welcomed the chance to look over a "proper" Porsche.....
