Hi all, currently looking at a 997 C4S up for sale. The current owner has had the engine rebuilt at Porschtech Basildon a year ago, and there is still a years warranty left.

Has anybody had dealings with the above company? Good/bad experiences?

Basically, do they know what they're doing? smile

ETA the engine had two scored pistons, which is why it was rebuilt, a common problem apparently? And the clutch was also replaced.

I also live locally and haven't heard of them either. That doesn't mean to say they have a bad rep tho.
Re. the engine rebuild and warranty - I would be asking if they did the work in-house or was it outsourced to Hartech, Autofarm or others? Also, who is the warranty underwritten by? If reptuable then all could be good for you...

All the best
