Hi all, not been on here for a while... hope all are well. I need to get an MOT asap on my 997 911... where do you recommend in Berkshire? Ideally Reading, but happy to travel... I also need a service, should I go to Porsche Reading? The car is 2005, and has had full service so far. £25k miles Cheers! Sid |

I think that if you want it done very quickly you might try Ninex in Maidenhead. Thanks. I have left Ninex a voice message... Phoned Northway, and they don't undertake MOT's. They are performed by a local garage, who do MOT's all the time for Porches (and others) ... currently booked it in for Tue morning, 8:20am Sun Garage, A4, Woolhampton RG7 5RH http://www.sungarage.com/ 01189713237 |

Porsche Reading prices: - major service (8 years) £640 - air filter change - spark plugs change - drive belt change - brake fluid change - checks of air bags Total £1152 inc vat, labour and parts Northway should be half the price? (£570 inc vat if I can add up?!) http://www.northwayporscheltd.co.uk/pages/service p.s. fantastic service from Sun Garage for the MOT, as recommended by Northway! |

Went to Reading OPC on weekend to buy the Porsche Junior Plus seat with Isofix (aka Britax Kid Fix!) and whilst there asked about servicing again. OPC now have a special 10% discount for cars older than 7 years, plus a free mot; every year. The service price is the same but parts are cheaper; which came to £1350 inc vat (ish!) so a lot more than last years quote. So servicing aside, which I want to get done but from Northway, and bearing in mind OPC give the car to Sun Garage locally, should I still get the free mot on offer, or just pay the £45 to Sun direct? I'm just nervous that OPC might fabricate or likely exaggerate work that needs doing. What are your thoughts please?? Ta |

If you're a TIPEC member then some OPC will discount the parts & labour. Not sure on Reading though. Ray is excellent one of the few southern indies I would rate. |

What's the discount from OPC, 10% max I would presume? Then I presume they will say 'can't be used in conjunction with any other offer' like the 7 star one for the older cars...? Even with all that, I have decided to service from Northway anyway. But should I take the free MOT from OPC, or will I end up paying for it anyway, in a roundabout way?? |

Passed my MOT today at OPC Reading with flying colours. Did it while I waited and threw in the 7+ health check foc which showed no issues.
