Service

Post by SteveSAS »

Hi,

Just to say how unimpressed I was with Porsche Centre Tonbridge regarding service quote for my 968.
They don't list cost on website for starters (only Boxters, 911's & the new breed lol) & when I phoned to ask price was told they would have to get back to me on that one as they weren't sure. 5hrs, yes 5hrs later I received a message saying it would be some silly price over £600 for just a 12k service. It felt like I just asked them about servicing a make they had never heard of instead of a bloody Porsche. Well sod the thought of getting a nice courtesy car I phoned up Project Nine & had a good chat to a nice enthusiatic guy who advised to renew brake fluid at same time (2yrs better than 3) at cost of just over £300 includes VAT. Booked up.

Before I sign off anyone know the law regarding driving a car to get a service without tax or MOT then going to get MOT few days later?? Car is on a sorn at mo so shouldn't be on road but would rather get serviced and deal with couple advisories from last year before putting in for MOT.

Cheers Steve

Steve, book an MOT at where ever you're driving it to & you'll be covered make sure they make a note of the reg. Doesn't matter if it is SORN'd or not.
