Portiacraft experiences

[911god]

Seem like a very genuine straight up bunch of guys. Anyone had any experiences??

I haven't purchased from them, but used them for new discs/pads and other small service issues - really helpful, easy to deal with guys.

When I'm next in the market for a Porsche I would definitely consider buying from them.

Known Portiacraft for many years. I've bought and sold a number of Porsche's over the years with them and likewise a number of mates to. Never had any issues with them. Good guys as far as I am concerned

I had a very bad experience, and I'm not sure 'genuine' is a description I would use.

However, after stating that; as long as the motor is pretty modern with no known faults, you can get a car from them that is normally cheaper than at most other Specialists..

Have dealt with these guys for years and on my 4th car from them would not go elsewhere, their mechanics are brilliant and most of the time I do net get charged for work if is small jobs, I often pop in for a coffee with Martin and Ollie on a Saturday. Very straightforward.

Seem a little weird to me. Could barely understand what the guy was saying when I called him. Haven't been there so can't offer much more help. Certainly cheaper than the rest. I would expect prep would suffer as a result.

Just do your own prep work simples

Anyhow I've just bought a car from them so lets see how it all pans out :-)

Hi, I have just traded my 2009 Boxster for a 2012 Boxster from portiacraft I dealt with Harry,
I found him to be straight forward and no nonsense He gave me a fair price for my car and the 2012 Boxster was £2000 cheaper than I had found anywhere else,I even got a cup of tea but don't count on it. In summary no nonsense sales and if you want tea and biscuits go somewhere else but you will need deeper pockets.

Did you buy the white PDK Boxster...?

If so, that looked very nice and good value, I'm glad it sold quickly to stop me looking at it!

I purchased my 996 C4S Cab from them in 2012, I dealt with Harry and also found them to straightforward. Still have the car...
