KentColin Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi All, I purchased my late 2006 987.1 2.7 in Feb 19 as my self indulgent treat for turning 50 this June. The car had 107K on it but has a full Porsche / Porsche Specialist service history and most of that mileage was put on it over a 4 year period, covering less than 10K in last 4 years. Since buying it, I've put 3K on it and it hasn't missed a heartbeat. Just replaced the rear tyres and looking at the service history it was last serviced in Aug 17 around 6K ago - so I've decided to get a full service including plug and fluids change. I live near Deal / Dover in Kent and was looking for a good / recommended Independent who will keep the service history stamps in the service book intact and is of course good at what they do. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iborguk Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I had a good experience with Steve at Goss Hall Classics near Sandwich http://gosshallclassics.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentColin Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Steve at Goss Hall Classics gave my car the once over just after i purchased it. He said it was a good buy. I wasn't sure if he gives a Porsche specialist stamp in the book and to be honest, I originally went to him because he is 2 miles from home, having found him through a google search. But if he comes with recommendation too, that would make me feel a lot easier. Think he quoted me £600 for a full service, replacing all plugs and all fluids.

iborguk Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 I can only speak to the recent work he did replacing my shot manifold to silencer studs. Everything worked in the process. I’d use him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked after a couple of mine, over the years. No-nonsense and I always found him to be reasonably priced. I've not used him with the current car only because it is under Porsche warranty.

Paul P Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Only spoken to Steve at Goshall over the phone but good vibes. Straight talk no bull and straight to the point. He’s my likely when it comes time. And I have a few others nearer home one is an OK but not cheap and hard to pin down , a couple of others are meh and two are “not only no but f*** no” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentColin Posted June 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Sounds like I struck lucky then as he is close by and it looks like I will be using him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to look after our V8s and has done a few jobs on my and others Porsches. You can say I sent you. He knows me as Araf or my real name.
