OPC Swindon said:
I thought you might like to know that we are now offering our customers a complimentary car cleaning service every Saturday in the run up to Christmas at Porsche Centre Swindon, between 9am and 4.30pm.

During this time, you are invited to bring your Porsche to the Centre where we will treat it to a thorough hand-wash and vacuum. Whilst your car is being cleaned, we will be offering lifts to The Outlet Village or alternatively you may like to view some of the Driver’s Selection by Porsche Design, on display at our Centre. The product range includes clothing, luggage and lifestyle accessories, a few examples of which can be seen below. We will also be serving fresh coffee and invite you to make full use of the facilities in our customer lounge which includes free WI-FI.

All complimentary wash and vacuums must be booked in advance and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Please call us on 01793 615 888, or email info@porscheswindon.co.uk to book your car in.
Free lift to the outlet village! In a GT3? :-)

Just emailed them. Clean car and a lift to work on a Saturday morning. Can't be bad!

It's a car dealer, one would imagine it's a given and wouldn't need mentioning?

Glad I didn't change my MOT test to Saturday. Much prefer it when I have the place nearly all to myself when booking in during the week!

On the other hand. Great idea by Swindon to get lots of people through the door. Setting up a good relationship with customers and customers children can only bode well for the brands (and this OPCs) future. This particular OPC always seem to do this kind of thing well.

Oh, and to agree with the above post, if the car is in for a couple of hours they've always asked if I needed a lift to go anywhere local.

Its a long way to Swindon from me - but on the other hand a nice drive down - get the car washed for nowt and then a blast all the way back up to meadowhall in a GT3 sounds a good way to waste a Saturday .

Swindon have always offered this with a service. Offering it when you're just out shopping is a bit different. I'd feel a bit cheeky taking them up on this.
