Hi Guys

As above really, I've got a great guy for my Lotus but now need to find someone for the 2007 997 as I don't want to pay OPC prices. Can you guys recommend someone local'ish?

Cheers
CD

Hi There,
I can recommend Autofarm, they replaced the clutch in my 944 and did a great job even masked off my cream carpets and seats, that might seem it bit picky but another garage didn’t and put oil marks on my carpet by the bonnet release.

Their based up the A34 at Weston-on-the Green so not far from you, if you’re a club member you might get some discount on the labour but you would need to ask them as it was a few years ago.

There is a company/ independent garage called JGC Porsche in Brackley http://www.jgcporsche.co.uk Not used them myself, but may be worth a look?

Thanks to you both. Autofarm is 15 minutes away from my office and so is the perfect choice for me :occasion5:

Glad you have an indy sorted. JGC charge £70/ hr labour, just for comparison.

If that is plus VAT then that is more than I pay at my local OPC when I get TIPEC discount!

Wrighttune in Wallingford. Great bloke Tony Wright and you can watch him working on your car. He is an ex Porsche race team mechanic.
