General information

Servicing – Your car’s health check
To maintain optimum performance and safety, your vehicle needs regular maintenance. We recommend an annual check to suit your needs. Only genuine Porsche and OEM parts are used. We service a range of makes with the same thoroughness and attention to detail.

Diagnostics – to identify problems
Regular professional diagnostic checks will identify problems that are affecting your car’s performance or may do in the future. Our state of the art computer diagnostic equipment allows us to help keep your engine in good shape.

Modifications – for better performance
Cars may be modified to provide better fuel economy, greater power and deliver improved handling. Engine and suspension tuning can be carried out to suit your needs. Call us for more information on how we could help you.

Engine – Repairs and Rebuilds
Normal driving creates wear and tear on your engine. Much is taken care of by regular servicing but sometimes it is necessary to rebuild the engine. When necessary we strip the engine, identify what needs carried out and discuss with you the best way forward – to suit your needs and keep costs to a minimum. While we specialise in Porsche, our experience is with a wide range of makes, so do call to see how we could help with your car.

Transmission – Repairs and Rebuilds
Your transmission has to function well for the car to work well but can easily be overlooked. The engine electronic control unit (ECU) and Tiptronic ECU work together to maximise efficiency of the transmission, allowing it to be more reliable, more economical, and operate more smoothly. Porsche transmissions are generally trouble free but occasional faults can be diagnosed and repaired. We have been repairing Tiptronic transmissions since they were released.

Air Conditioning – DEFRA Approved
Air conditioning systems leak around 10–15% each year. Left untreated it means inefficient interior cooling and increased fuel consumption due to extra pressure on the compressor. Fungi and bacteria can also develop in air conditioning systems and cause allergic reactions. We recommend a check at least every two years.

Inspections – Pre-purchase inspections
As service specialists with over 30 years Porsche experience, we are ideally qualified to give impartial and informed opinions on vehicles. We can carry out a comprehensive appraisal of the car’s condition at the seller’s location, including an Experian autocheck, ECU test, estimate value and test drive.

Motorsport – Preparation for events
Our knowledge of setting up for taking part at different tracks, rallies and autotests comes with over 30 years of setting up and taking part. We carry out rally and race preparation and can supply parts and competition equipment. We take part in many events – if you see us say hello.

Driver Tuition – Tailored to suit
We tailor tuition to suit your experience and needs. Keeping your car stable and balanced at all times, knowing the relationship between vehicle dynamics and driver input are among the factors that we can help you develop. Whether for day-to-day driving or for events, our driver techniques and tips will allow you to get more enjoyment from your driving.

Testimonials
The best way to tell our story is through the words of our customers

‘I have owned and driven Porsches for seven years, over which time I have had cars from the 60s, 70s and 80s. George has looked after all my cars and I believe if it wasn’t for his high skill range and ability I would not be able to own the cars I love. George is driven by his passion for Porsches and is the most honest and genuine individual you could meet. He is highly qualified in Porsche, and has many years of experience behind him to give him the ability to work proficiently on any type of specialist vehicle.’ Gavin McNicholl

‘The work is carried out to a high standard as George is very experienced so there is no unnecessary work done. Costs are reasonable too. He is accommodating and would even pick my car up from Belfast if I’m stuck.’ Min Wei Chew
