Has anyone used him for the basics - oil change, brake fluid change etc?

Can anyone recommend a good independant Porsche Specialist in West London?

Hi, I used to live in Fulham and used Chelsea Carrera on Seagrave Rd and Jaz up in Wembley and can recommend both - CC will even collect and deliver locally. Nothing against Charles Ivey other than their pricing was near OPC levels (not sure how they will compare now):

Hey Pep.. 2 of my mates use him and a one of their fathers has been using him from way back. They all say he's great and have never had any issues with him. Ive not personally used him but i would trust their judgment.

All the best

Koll.

I'm not sure referring to Charles Ivey as "him" is appropriate anymore - the man himself retired and moved abroad a few years ago. He may still have a share in the business, but is more likely to have a sangria in his hand than a spanner these days. smile

Used to live a five minute walk away from Charles Ivey. Used them once.

I drove 40 minutes to JAZ in Wembley ever since.

They had a half page ad out in Porsche Post this month.

Think I'll pass em up and go with RSJ instead.

All I will add on this subject if you use CC is check your wheelnuts after collecting the car. 'Nuff said rolleyes

FWIW The real Charles Ivey was a Porsche racing genius ............the business changed hand many years ago and there is absolutely no connection................in any way !
