I've recently acquired a 2001 986 2.7 after a five year 'Porsche hiatus'. I have previously owned a series of 996/986/987 over the years. However, having moved down here from the Midlands since owning the last one, I don't seem to have had much luck in finding a specialist round these parts. Fortunately I'm a fairly competent DIY-er (qualified tech in the 70's lol) but as I get older I'm less inclined/able to get underneath and tackle some of the more involved stuff so It would be good to find someone to turn to for such things!.

Could anyone point me at somewhere around the Plymouth area that knows what they're doing when it comes to Porsche?

Cheers Chris

ps - I tried a forum search but couldn't see anything - apologies if I've missed it

Thanks but they're still over 2hrs away from here so I'm hoping for something a little closer if possible.

Williams Crawford? - https://www.williamscrawford.co.uk/porsche-servici...

I have no idea on the competency of their work or their reputation, but they always have some proper tasty Porche parked outside when I go past!

I know some owners in the area and both SCS and Williams Crawford are used so both worth investigating further. As you say WC is close.

These are my closest too (further south) and I have not heard anything bad. I had mine serviced at SCS during covid and a local friend takes both his to WC. I have also bought a car from WC before.

I still take mine to the East Mids once a year but that is only because they have known the car for twenty years.

Thanks for all the responses/ recommendations. I’ll probably call in to WC and have a chat as it’s only 20 mins away.

Cheers, Chris
