Baz posts on here from time to time. Read some of his stuff, it's very knowledgeable and informative. I've never heard a bad word about them.

I have used them since they sourced a 996 for me coming on for a couple of years ago and to be honest I have nothing but praise for them.

Baz has to be one of the most knowledgeable blokes I have ever spoke to on any subject! Grant and his guys really go out of their way to help you - overall first class in my opinion.

I'm on their Lifetime Maintenance Plan which is good value and takes a lot of the worry out of owning the car, in fact, you almost get the feeling that the car is as much theirs as yours, they 'want' to look after it.

what does that cost pa?

if I was local reckon I'd get a warranty from them rather than OPC as they would care more about keeping me happy and a repeat customer.

I'm on the 12,000 mile/year plan and pay about £75 per month by Standing Order which then covers all servicing (parts and labour), the MOT, and all labour for pretty much anything that needs doing to the car through out the year - including wear and tear - you just pay for parts and from experience they appear to charge you a fair price for the parts too, certainly not inflated.

The details are on their site under the Buyers Guide!

I always enjoy reading Baz's posts here .. There's always something to learn from them .. He seems to be a very sound guy. If I was living within 200 miles of them , I would definitely be on their warranty.

I found them to be excellent when they did a service and some other work on my old 944S. Couldn't fault them at all, apart from their stealth security bollards on the way in.

good value, Baz - SW London is dirt cheap for business premises and you'll get a lot of customers!

HI
I bought my 944 cabby from Hartech and did so without seeing the car such was the glowing references they had been given by the Porsche trade.
I live in N Ireland and I made the trip over, collected the car met Barry and Grant and I must say the car is even better than they told me it was.
Barry has been very very patient and helpful when I ask even the most daft questions.
I had a clutch slave cylinder go and Barry posted a replacement by return of post with full fitting instructions
You will not get better, and when I come to change the cabby Barry will be my first port of call
Regards
Steady Eddie.
