Is anyone who has used them willing to have a quick chat offline about their experience good or bad? I need to get some objective insight.
Cheers!

Mine is all good, a BS-free independent that really know their transaxle cars.

Don't expect good coffee or stunning receptionists though.

PS They prepared a 924S trackday car for me.

EMC are absolutely top guys. They spend more time stopping me spending money than they do charging me.

They know 924/944/928/968's better than anyone in this country.

Can't speak highly enough of them. Completely safe hands to put your car in.

The owner of the purple people eater? If so, I gather it's some 968!
I am hoping to visit EMC next week to talk about a 944 / 968 track day / race car. Looking forward to it.

yeah it was unfortunatly named by Steph, so I cant complain lest she remove my 'taters'. The car isnt 'quite' finished yet.. still a bit of work in progress to get finalised.

As SS7 said, dont expect quality cofee or big breasted receptionists ( unless Ben counts?? ), and go fully prepared to be called a name or two.

Hi,

They have a good reputation among the porsche specialsits i deal with, had some parts for a 968 and were a pleasure to deal with.

biglaugh With Kev it seems to relate to how well he knows you, you feel more like an extended part of the family then a punter.

Very much a BS free zone but they have their way of doing things and theirs only, I am sure Kev could have made a lot more money if he was an ego stroker, but its really not his style.

Just walk around the pits at a PCGB race and look at how many cars seem to have one of Kev's cages i.e. an EMC motorsport shell, its very illuminating.

Will we were discussing your old 968 and its recent misfortune at the hands of its new keeper. Kevin mentioned something about a trip to Southampton to drop off an M3...??
