Hi Andy
I have been using RLR for the last twelve twelve years or so (I live about five minutes away from them), and have always been satisfied with the work they've done. During that time they have looked after two 911 turbo's and currently a Boxster S for me. I have no hesitation in recommending them. Great set of lads (Simon, Darren, David, Alex, & Adam), very keen, friendly and obliging, and know the marque well. As you may know, as well as servicing road cars, they prepare customer cars for racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB and other championships, and have a very good record in so doing. Great drivers in recent years such as Richard Westbrook, Jonathan Cocker, James Sutton, Danny Watts, Tim Harvey, etc, have all achieved high levels of success driving cars prepared by the RLR team. For the last three years or so they have also been preparing customer cars for racing in the Porsche Supercup in Europe and further afield.
The downside to the racing connection is that they never work on a weekend at the RLR garage, as during the 'season' they are invariably away at a race track acting as 'pit crew' for the drivers, and this can often mean that a couple of them might be away a day or two before the race weekend as well. This is not a problem, as long as you can give them as much notice as possible to sort out a mutually convenient time for your work.
Having said all that, there have been good reports over the last few months on this Forum about work undertaken by Jamie Nelson who I think is Stockton-based, and I understand he is reasonably priced as well. Last time I asked at RLR, I was told their labour rate was £60/hour. Not sure how this compares with Jamie Nelson.
Hope the above helps
Regards
Alan Burton
