Hi Guys,

Im new to porsche and new to the site.

My 54 boxster is coming up to its 48k service and im looking for a cheaper alternative to servicing it than porsche itself.

Are there any good guys around here who would service the motor for a reasonable price.?

The only one i can see is in YORK, and thats a two hour drive away.

I live in sunderland

thanks guys

Perhaps we need a seperate section for TIPEC members called David!
This could get confusing...

Anyway, Dave is correct, we meet at the Sporting Lodge from 7:30pm and the next meeting is this Sunday 1st February.

Sure someone Norff of Watford will add to this but I think the one I've heard of up there is Red Line Racing? Hartech would be my other thought, but in Bolton so a fair haul.

In Gateshead there is Tom Ferguson, who is probably the closest to PhysioDave and is also a club member and TIPEC technical helpline provider.

Then we have Red Line Racing in Thornaby and Car Tech and Care in Northallerton.

Apologies if I have missed anyone out.
