Porsche Partner Network Members

[Inbox]

I saw a reference to an independent Porsche specialist being a member of the PPN.

I did some googling to see if there is a published member list so I could confirm but came up short, does anyone know of a current list or do I need to contact Porsche to check?

Considering what it offers to potential customers you would think it be easy to check a specialist is a current member but then again it is Porsche...

There are only 4 or so in the UK. Full details of what it includes is here: https://www.nineexcellence.com/service/porsche-ser...

So does that mean if I get my car serviced there whilst under warranty it is treated as serviced by Porsche ?

[SV_WDC]

No.

I thought that it did ... otherwise what is the point ??

The great indies generally know more than the OPC's about the older cars that are out of warranty ... ???

Depends on the Indy and age of the car...some are not as good as they used to be.

When Steve McHale retired the expertise on the older cars walked out the door at JZM and hasn't been replaced (to my knowledge). I haven't gone back....

I wrote to them.

Seems yes approved for service but they are not able to handle warranty claims.

I've not seen a published list and I doubt Porsche GB would release one. I think the best they would do is inform you of the closest one to your post code. There are quite a few indys around that claim PPN status but I've had no contact with most of them.

Some explicitly state that they can perform warranty work, which would be an odd claim to make if it wasn't true. "If any fault is found that is under the customer’s warranty as a PPN member, with communication with the customer, we can perform warranty work."

I have asked 2 on the above list re servicing on my 2016 car and the answer was no in respect of a claim under the extended warranty. They would, of course, be happy to service the car.

I believe the situation may be different for cars under the manufacturer's warranty where the former EU rules apply i.e. the manufacturer can't restrict you to their own dealers providing, I assume, that the garage is competent and uses the correct parts and tools etc.

The extended warranty provider sets their own terms which we either agree to or not.
