Give Chris at GCR a call on 0116 2780900, he looks after my GT3RS and my previous 964RS.

Fred at Motawerk in Saddington near Bruntingthorpe is top notch 0116 2402979.

Thanks for that. Also heard the OPC in Leicester was very reaonable. I work just down the road from there. So it would be very handy

Deffo go and talk to the guys at OPC Leicester,they give a great service,a real bunch of enthusiasts,the tech that works on my older pork drives a 964 himself,they have a brilliant workshop that is spotless and always has aircooled,early water cooled and even frontrunners making regular visits,one of the benefits that is important to me is the factory recalls (at no cost),i have had a recall done on my 964 relatively recently that involved a heavy looking steering part and it didnt cost me a bean.
Chris the service manager is a top bloke worth speaking to,pop by and i bet he will show you around the workshop and talk prices for whatever you have in mind.
Enjoy your car,weather has made a turn for the warmer!!!

second that, much rather give my $$$ to a passionate independent like Chris, maintained my 3.2 for a number of years. Great service.

I believe Leicester OPC have a separate rate card for older cars as well, we bought the wifes boxster from there last summer and the whole experience was fantastic a real breath of fresh air for main dealer service experience.

great, thanks for all that. Cant wait to pick it up tomorrow.

have fun

as you can see we are well catered for in Leicester for people looing after our Pork.

OPC is the best I have been too, and taken and bought my Porsche from them, also had work done at GCR in the past on my cayman.
