Just thought I'd come on and give a big thumbs up for some excellent work done by Peter at Motortune.
I'd had the car in to the local OPC and they diagnosed the 997 needed three new coil packs and a new O/S silencer for the PSE… £1500 I didn't really want to spend just before Christmas.
Turned out the advice from the local OPC was way off the mark… the O/S silencer wasn't split on the weld, the brackets holding the exhaust flange had corroded so the joint between sections of the exhaust had dropped resulting in a drop in pressure and screwing up the oxygen sensors, which in turn was throwing up the check engine warning light.
Motorotune fitted 6 new coil packs (thought it wise to change them all at once), repair the exhaust flange bolts on both sides, carry out oil service, clean headlamp connections, reset service lights and test car… all for £525. That £1k I've just saved will come in handy this month!
So, big thumbs up for Peter at Motortune, excellent, honest service once again.

What made you go there after you'd been to OPC? Only asking as my first and only experience there was not like yours ( I do believe I actually said I wouldn't go back ). There are however plenty people saying good things about Peter and with 2 Porsches in the drive I might have decide where to take them. My current favoured Indy isn't doing himself any favours? The reason I went there in the first place is he is the closest to me.

Angelus, The OPC had done a report on the car not long after I bought it but had failed to mention the coil packs and exhaust to me at the time. Had they done so, I could have no doubt got the supplying garage to remedy the problems at their cost. I was a little miffed that these weren't pointed out and given my bank account couldn't take a £1500 beating I thought I'd get the work costed out by Motortune. Turns out that I didn't need a new silencer and they did far more work for 1/3 the original estimate.
I'd used Motortune in the past and they had always done a good job at a good price - for example OPC had said I needed new discs and pads on the 987S but Peter skimmed the discs and just replaced parts where required.
I would have no hesitation in recommending their work - give them another try - I would be really surprised if they don't do a good job for you.
