Servicing and maintenance

A nine-ramp workshop with the latest, regularly updated dealer-level diagnostics, a dealer-level Beissbarth four-wheel laser alignment system and a small team of dealer and independently trained technicians. Fixed-price servicing, MOT preparation, pre-purchase inspections, and a maintenance plan that runs for as long as you own the car.

Fixed-price servicing

Standard service schedules are available for cars under ten years old and follow the appropriate Porsche main dealer service list, with some additions, at a lower cost.

Cars from three to ten years old, depending on annual mileage, may prove more reliable, less expensive and better to drive on our more comprehensive Gold service schedule, which is comparable in price to many competitors’ standard services and provides eligibility for the Lifetime Maintenance Plan.

Cars over ten years old are looked after on the Gold schedule only, as that is the only way to look after them properly. It includes so many discounts for common replacements that it can often be cheaper than a standard service elsewhere. Experience has shown that this approach reduces running costs by protecting the car from the more expensive age- and mileage-related failures, while preserving how it drives and its resale value.

The Lifetime Maintenance Plan

A modest monthly payment that covers future servicing charges in full, an annual MOT, and the labour for most repairs including wear-and-tear items. Running since 2005.

Cars we sell are automatically eligible and receive a free period of initial cover. Customer cars first go through our Gold Major acceptance service, which generates a report outlining any work necessary for the plan to apply, or that can be excluded from it.

The plan only works because the quality of our preventative maintenance stops small problems escalating into expensive ones. It spreads the cost of regular servicing and reduces the cost of any necessary repair to the parts, or sub-contract, cost, so that whatever happens you never face the kind of bill you would from any other source. There are no get-out clauses, and the plan does not end as age or mileage increases wear or failure rates. Our plan price stays the same regardless of the age of the car or the miles it has covered.

We know of no other provider who backs up their own work in this way, which is in itself probably the most reliable recommendation you could have.

Pre-purchase inspections

Before you buy a 986, 987, 996 or 997, have it looked at by the people who rebuild their engines. Ring to arrange an inspection.
