Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Over the last 10 or 11 years, I have had OPC Brisbane look after my Porsche's, apart from having T&D Automotive replace my Boxster S IMS bearing back in 2010 (I think I was one of the first in Australia).
Since then a lot has changed - Don Munro left T&D and I believe T&D have new owners too. There are other Porsche specific workshops that crop up, like Comet Automotive, Promotive and DHM (Don Munro), but I know nothing of their capabilities regarding servicing a GT3 - only what's on their websites and that doesn't mean they are any good . My 996 will soon be due for its 4 yearly Major Service so I'm looking for the best workshop / service provider in South East Qld. Its not just a service I require but also a couple of niggles I need ironing out like a cold start stumble on startup, so a good diagnostic capability is a must have.
I'm not unhappy with OPC Brisbane, but I am open to alternative workshops. I'm on the Sunshine Coast and there is nobody here I would use in a fit !!
From the Brisbane crew, who in your opinion is the best ???
DHM or Flat Six is who I would recommend. I know Brett has Porsche scanning tools and I suspect Don would have also.
Don’s new workshop is head and shoulders above the old one. Brett is owner operator and very cleaver guy. He has worked on my GT3 - but he is booked out a few weeks in advance usually.
No affiliation with either, but I have known both for a very long time.
Rencal motors in coopers plains. Small workshop, meticulous head mechanic and team. They have a excellent reputation and many regular watercooled Porsche’s get maintained and modified there
Flat Six told me very 'flatly' that they have absolutely no interest in looking at more water cooled cars - he's is far to busy with what he's got and won't take on any more work; to the point of being rude. Pfft.
Might just save you a trip.
Don @ DHM has been good to me, I live in Sydney, but have called on his services a few times... my old 996 GT3 was maintained by him (ex brissy car), and he had done some work on my old 968 Clubsport too. Based on my interactions/transactions with him, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him (and often do) to others.
MR Tuning at Yatala are worth a look. Did the coilovers in my boxster - DHM cocked it up. I experienced excellent service.
On the plus side they run Carrera Cup cars so would be across your GT3 needs - this is the retail arm for McElrea Racing.
Yes, I've seen them advertised on the Porsche Club website - I'll give them a call and see what they have to offer above and beyond OPC Brisbane.
Many thanks for the heads up everyone !!
