I would not had been as nice. Make sure the people that fix it know what the heck they are doing. Sorry.

That's really a pity ! I must honnestly admit that I am a bit surprised by your remark (you say it is not the first time you are experiencing such a situation with them).

As a matter of fact I would have even expected the contrary (without objective reason, I reckon), namely these people doing a better job than in the rest of the world ! Seems I am wrong

I know it is easier to say when it is not your own car but : Take it easy and make sure they will do a perfect paint / repair... I keep my fingers crossed.

I am really frustrated and they are slow I brought in my car mid december its still not with me. They only had to do new wur, gaskets hoses, piston rings, flywheel clutch,disk/pads and engine down service not rocket science. They are telling me now another 2 weeks to receive the car.

The weather was starting to get cold when my car was in for service and now the weather is becoming hotter day by day. I was expecting to receive the car when the weather is still cool so I can enjoy cruising in my favourite dream car the Turbo 3.6.

Dude, I'm really sorry to hear that. What a shame.

I wouldn't rush'em, or else they'll really **** it up.
The only thing worse than a slow methodical moron is one rushing to get something done.

I am losing my patience, they promised me to give me my car back this week and typically there is a delay which I am used to hearing from them every time.

I pass by today feeling optimistic and seeing my car left outside without the transmission and engine, they were under the impression that the flywheel was in stock and now they have to order it from Germany which is another 10 days.

By the time this flywheel arrives and they begin to install and test the car thats probably another 30 days or so by their standard.

Things to be installed

New brake discs and pads, the whole tail light unit centre driver and passenger, new porsche classic radio, short shifter and racing pedals.

Things I need to order are sunroof seal and side skirt seal.

I saw the dent today in person for 2nd time and I do feel that it can be fixed via paintless repair and with some polish the scuffing might go.

I would be pissed!!! There is no excuse for these types of unprofessional and careless acts. If you have to have the door painted, it will be very hard to match to the rest of the car. Whatever they do, make sure you take a close look at the car under the correct light conditions so that you can see every small spot on the door and the rest of the car. The firm that I have places your car into a separate room with lots of lighting so that you can see everything on the car.

I know that you don't want substandard work, but a lot of the items that you mentioned should have been planned for well in advance. Please keep us posted and I hope you get your car soon.

MeanMachine

Thank you, it helps to vent out over here. Its my dream car and its not an ordinary car as many know they only made 1,437 of those and prices are just going to go higher.

Substandard work doesnt cut the mustard for me that is why i am present at the workshop on a near day to day basis.

I will be removing my sunroof in a couple of weeks and let you know what is involved, as well as some pics.

Sorry to read you're having all these troubles, hope everything will be ok soon!

MeanMachine

Thank you and that I would dearly appreciate. I am postponing it to a later date and the emphasis is on the side skirt seal.

Thank you, I am trying to be patient as my fist is itching me and would like to punch the service advisor and the workshop manager in the face for their stuck up behaviour and lassez faire style of work.

MeanMachine

Okay since Thursday the engine is back in the car, new clutch, new flywheel.

(not yet installed)new front brake discs, x4 new pads.



Today they installed new fog lamps, Orange indicators and removed the ugly aftermarket clear ones. Now its looking like the BadBoys Turbo 3.6

I think worst case scenario one month if anything new appears and they need to order it.

Whats left is to adjust the CO and install Short Shifter and Porsche Classic Radio.

Sharker

Ohh, I want that service cover!.. Throw it in the frunk when you pick it up!

theporscheguy

Glad to see that your service facility is making progress. Hopefully you will have your car faster than anticipated so you can finally enjoy it.

Turbo Jonny

Fingers crossed and hope all goes well for you.
