I have a Gen 1 911 C2S that I've owned for c9 years. I live in the Sevenoaks/Tonbridge area of Kent and am looking for a change of service centre. My two local Indy service centres are La Rose in Kemsing and Brooklands in Swanley. I've used La Rose all the time I've owned my car but since it changed ownership a few years ago I've felt I wanted to try somewhere else. It's due a service now and I was just about to book Brooklands in Swanley when I saw that they too have now been brought by the guys who now own La Rose.

Now, I don't have any complaints about La Rose whatsoever. They've been very professional and have done good work. I just want to try something different. I liked when La Rose had a small, family run, tight-knit feel to it and I'm looking for that again. I prefer smaller, friendly places where you feel the owners/technicians are just as invested in my car as I am. I feel La Rose is now better suited to more modern Porsches where there's more money to be found. No criticism at all and I will pay for whatever my car needs, I just feel I need someone with a sympathetic eye and an awareness of how to treat a 18 year old car (e.g. not like a new one).

So, any ideas for Kent/Sussex that might fit my ask?

Thanks in advance

Project Nine in Marden?

Run by Cliff who used to be head tech at La Rose, going back about ten years

I’ve not used them since I sold my 964 but they were always good when I did
