Anyone use PARR Porsche Specialists in Crawley, Sussex?

[aaronc]

Hi guys,

Being a newcomer to Porsche and with the used Boxster S i've just purchased requiring a Major service (45Kmiles), I'm looking for somewhere to service it. Im in West Sussex and first choice is naturally Paragon but with their prices on the rather high side for a pretty simple oil change, pollen/air/oil filters, Im looking at other choices...

So anyone used PARR specialists in Crawley, if so whats their prices/service like? And anyone have any other suggestions of other specialists in the area?

Many thanks

Parr were absolutely first class but not cheap when I used them

I always used Sussex Performance Centre in Horsham for my Boxster S and got great service. Andy Brown also offers a discount on labour if you are a member of TIPEC.

They setup my 996RS every year. They're expensive but good. I once got a £3000 grand bill from them and they added £3.95 for a Porsche magazine I picked up in their reception... nice.....

Do a great job though.

Parr are a very well run outfit. They certainly know what they are doing in terms of car prep both on-track and off-track. They look after a good number of Pheaders race and road cars. Certainly not at the cheap end of the spectrum but cheaper than OPC labour. I can personally recommend them but it all depends on your priorities?

Parr are great.

I know PARR well and they are Excellent about a dozen or so people I know use them and I have never heard a bad word.. you'll will no doubt also get Steve Rance on here shortly singing their praises..

Right wheres Paul Robes number - I think that deserves a free service

Another thumbs up for PARR. Get my GT3 serviced there and have never had a problem with them. In addition I've had a brake upgrade, a track orientated suspension set up and a remap done there. Not cheap but have never had a problem with them.

The best thing about Parr (apart from Steve's superb customer services) is their honesty. You can trust what they are telling you to be totally 100% correct. I have been taking my Boxster S to them for over a year now and its the only place I will take it. Yes the labour charge is a touch more than most standard garages, but you get what you pay for. Plus they do a courtesy car loan while your car is being worked on. I am booking my Boxster S in for a new clutch and fly wheel shortly and it is pricey, but no where near as pricey as Porsche. Porsche charge £2099 inc VAT just to change the clutch. But Parr are charging me £1499 to change the clutch and fly wheel. They are also very friendly on the phone. 9.5/10.

You should also give Ken at 9e a call for a price comparison. I've used them and am happy to vouch for them. Can't go wrong with Parr either tbh.

£300 for a major service seems ridiculously cheap IMO - they're always busy mind.

Haven't used Parr but can say only good things about Precision. Sam in the bodyshop is great and Jonny in the workshop with his team are a great bunch. Lots of work with them on my 986 box and very happy with the service;

I use Parr. They are very good. They've done all my mods and are very knowledgable and trustworthy. I'd like a Capristo exhaust for mine but will probably go with a Cargraphic one so Parr can do the work, they are really good.

Only heard good things about 9E too. Ken is very nice on the phone and knowledgable.

Will find out if there customer service is good or not soon;) Returning some tips that was bought from them that don't fit.
