Hi all,

As the subject really, can anyone please recommend a specialist or (if there is such a thing) an authorised specialist around Basingstoke rather than an official dealer?

Cheers,

V.

Thanks Slippy, by the time I've cabbed it back and forth as necessary it probably works out the same as using the Guildford or Newbury dealers.

Don't need anything special doing, just maintenance and servicing on my Macan, nothing too exotic!

Cheers,

V.

Thanks Trevalvole, TDT also recommended them above.

Geographically Northway looks to be the closest too.

Cheers.

As above - Ray or Wrightune (Wallingford), slightly further from 'stoke but near civilisation if needed.

Thanks Jonno, I’ll bear that in mind, as you say, if needed.

I take mine to Ray at Northway, from South Wales.

Worth travelling to.

Ray and his team at Northway have looked after a 996 and then a 997T for 12 years for me. Perfect service and support!

Okay, thanks all, I get it, Ray is the man! hehe

And the bonus is that Northway is the closest of the several recommendations.

In the past I've had to always travel significant distances to get to the right people for previous cars, what a pleasant and handy change this is!

I've just spoken with them and arrangements have been made.

Sincere thanks again all. thumbup
