Default Independent Porsche Specialist - Devon, UK

Are there any?

If not, are there any in other parts of SW UK?

TIA.

Just Googled Peter Morgan - I see that he does PPIs. What I'm interested in are independent specialists who do maintenance/servicing/repairs.

TIA

There's Porschmode and Porschtech in Bristol - never used either so can't recommend.
Also Steve Bull at Devizes - have used and can recommend!
Seem to recall a specialist praised on 911.uk.com located further south then Bristol - have a search.

You might want to post in the dedicated UK forum as well.

Thanks All!

Doesn't look like they're exactly plentiful in that part of the world. Google didn't come up with anything either.

Also can't say I've ever spotted Rennlister's location being given as Devon.

You might want to PM the originator of this thread to compare notes.

Thanks Felix.

Interesting post at the end of that link -it also seems to indicate that Porsche service in the SW is not particularly well served.

My own need is not immediate, I'm only about 3 miles from a good independent here in Reading - and only about 1.5 miles from the OPC that is co-located with Porsche UK's HQ.
