Just had an OPC service...

[lingus75]

And it was great!

Used Swindon where Simon dealt with me. From start to finish it was a really good experience.

Had a Cayman PDK overnight, even though I supplied my own oil and I negotiated a rate which was not much more than the local Indy (£100 extra or so). For me the extra was worth it to keep the OPC history in place as the car is only on 6.7k mileage.

It's definatley worth asking the question about price on servicing if your due. I don't think OPC will match the Indy, but if it's not far off then I think it's worth it. I know lots on here say Indys are better, but seeing the varied stuff they were working on I think the level of knowledge must be very high.

I also recommend a visit to Lovett Ferrari nearbye. It's is astonishing!! f40's, min 4 of them in garage, 2 enzos, f50, think I saw a 250gto. Loads of speciale, f12 etc.... And a carerra gt. I was also told interesting stuff in upstairs showroom also, but didn't get there.

Finally, my car flew through with the only thing mentioned being a call scheduled to me next year as rear tyres may need looking at!!

Overall, after booking yesterday off work in the sun to deliver the car, having a drive of a new Porsche and noseying around lots of top end stuff it was a thoroughly nice 24hrs.

Did you get the free 'mole grips'?

Hi, I have always been impressed with the level of service at the Swindon OPC over the years but have opted to use Tewkesbury OPC for my car's major in a few weeks as it is more convenient for Cheltenham location. Any major reason you opted for swindon as opposed to Tewkesbury?

That's all well and good but was the receptionist tasty?

The car had a big service before I bought it (3k+) and Swindon knew the last owner, and the car.

It's also quite handy to my parents where I knew I was going to be this weekend.

No other reason really but I'm glad I'm did as it was 1st class.

Not bad but Tewksbury wins on that front!

What could have needed doing on a sub 6k miles car to command a £3k service? Tbh, I doubt they've done so much as wiped a rag over it, knowing it was all done a couple of k miles ago.

I bought my car from Swindon and it's been back a few times for various bits. They've always been excellent as far as I'm concerned, just a shame its a bit of a trek.
