Camtune?

[noumenon]

What are people's experiences with Camtune? I've received a personal recomendation, but no harm in getting more opinions.

I'm on my second car from Camtune: I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are approachable, well connected and (best of all) superbly located.

Excellent service all round. Used them to buy/sell and for 3 years of servicing.

Specialists like this are one of the big pluses owning a porker imho.

I looked at a car there, recieved the best service out of all the garages I visited.

Trade-in offer wasnt great (it never is) and car was okay.


Though I did end up buying privately in the end, I wont hesitate to consider them again.

Bought my blue RS from Camtune, was a mint car and they handled the deal well.
Would do business with them again.

Had two services done there so far and a rear suspension link thingy repalced. I can't see any reason to go anywhere else.

Not the cheapest but you get a courtesy car. (about £63ph, loads cheaper than an OPC and better workmanship)

Not for anyone north of Watford Gap!

They were on my list of indie sites to check every day or two when I was looking for a 993 and they seemed to come with a good reputation from the reading I did.

Got my RS from them. Friendly, professional and have handled a car glitch with aplomb.

Recommended.

On my second car from them. No issues with their cars. But they annoyed me in terms of customer care. I wanted to px the first car i brought from them against the second, offered me £17k px in 2005 for a 70k polar 993 with £££s spent on it, I got £24k from another indie (as an outright sale). Then went to ask about px for my GT3 against a GT3RS they had - around 6 months after i bought the GT3 off them, wanted to offer me £15k less than i paid.

I know px values depend on what the garage wants at the time etc etc, but when you have a twice returning customer, you expect at least the values you'd get at another indie!

Ajit.

I found them business like and efficient, although not overly welcoming (ould be something to do with the fact I only have a tatty old '944 which they keep the labour rates low for..)

looks like they run a tight ship and and have some very handy guys who know their porkas though.
you're not likely to get an invoice with any nasty surprises as they have a pretty good idea of how long most jobs will take them.

Noumenon - think it was me that recommended them to you; Just dropped my car round for the week for a minor service and the alignment checked as well as a few other bits and pieces. Still wouldn't go anywhere else - and they're right next to the station to get back to Waterloo.

I've just spoken to Tim and booked the car in. I see what you mean. His experience and knowledge is superb. OK, so it's a bit dangerous to diagnose over the phone, but I think we're onto a winner! Much appreciated.

[noumenon]

Yep, they're a top notch crew. I'll be back for servicing, mot and any repairs in future.

Thank you all for the recomendations.

Thank you Camtune.
