Sorry - stupid topic really,

My car is booked in with Northway for a 48k Full Service and Geometry

I've just read a good review about GT-One (based in Chertsey) - I work in Chertsey!

Are they better - the same, not the same...

any views greatly appreciated

thanks

Shan

I've heard good reports about both

If you're in Chertsey you might as well use GTone

If it's booked in at Northway, take it there this time.

Ray is a top bloke, i'm involved with the Thames Valley region for Tipec and many of our members use Northway and wouldn't go anywhere else.

I've been using GT One for the last 5 years and never had a problem with them. They are always there to explein exactly what they plan to do and are very nice people in general. Definetly know their Porsche stuff smile

If you're in Chertsey, why don't you just pop over there for a chat with them? If you've booked your car in for his week somewhere else, then take it there but go and have a chat with the guys at GT One and give it a go next time around smile

Quite agree, used Northway a few times, always straight & good attention to detail.

GT-One, Northway, Tognola -from perceived feedback, all as good as each other! But Toggy prob the most miserable!!! biggrin

Guess I'm biased to GT-One (01932 569911/944)as I've been taking my Porkers to Craig and Peter since their Ruf days in Weybridge.

Northway have a new state of the art Geo set up too so your Geo will be bang on. They are a top bunch of blokes, i've used them for 5 years or so, they even fitted the 993tt engine in my 930 so not afraid of a big job smile

GT One have also got this as I was told when mine was done earlier this year that they'd upgraded to the latest technology. It's great we have so many good independents within a small radius smile

Northway are really top guys..

I've had my 968 serviced there since i've owned it and they have always been great and did a real above and beyond the call of duty job to get me to the Le Mans 24hrs a couple of years ago..

I haven't used either, but if you've booked it in and Northway have reserved space and manpower for you then its a bit unfair to chop and change at the last minute just because you've found somewhere nearer - they have a business to run and make money.

Why not use Northway this time, GT-one next time and see which you prefer ?

Just my 2p.

Totally agree with your Diesel, Hence - the car is there now.

And I have to say, more than impressed with the honesty, communication, and menu pricing.

Ray is certainly a top bloke.

The only caviat is that I work 100 meters from GT-One!

But I'm Happy for now, thanks for all the responses. I guess a thread like this is started because we really do love our cars, and want the best.

Thanks again

Have used both. Both are excellent. If its booked at Northway might as well keep it there.

I've use Northway. Happy with them.

I'm on the cusp of my decision to leave the OPC system for everything and get Northway to maintain the car.
