This is not a probability of success.

I would like suggestions for those in the PH community who know.....( and it has been very useful in the past ...!) for a trustworthy Porsche garage to honestly assess the car mechanically, and, if it is realistic, to re-commission the car so it can be used on a weekly basis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I am based in Co Durham, so bear with me....! A good pal who lives in the Borders,( and who is not a petrolhead by any means....!), has owned a nice Boxster S ( 2003 reg) for many years, but ,due to his very busy life, the car has been neglected for a few years. I do know a really good and trustworthy indy Porsche specialist in my native Co.Durham, but I have no idea about the area around Edinburgh. My pal has used a garage in the area for some work before, but TBH they didn't really do a good job ....( at all ...!!) As far as I know, the car has not actually run for a while. But it is relatively low mileage..( about 50,000 miles IIRC) I would like suggestions for those in the PH community who know.....( and it has been very useful in the past ...!) for a trustworthy Porsche garage to honestly assess the car mechanically, and, if it is realistic, to re-commission the car so it can be used on a weekly basis. Thanks in advance.

David Phillips autos up by IKEA in Edinburgh is the go to Porsche guy.

POST 3Original post

One of my neighbors uses him and is happy with his work. Just as a point of note...if I remember correctly the Perth OPC does discounted labour rates for older cars, it might be worth a phone call to them to compare prices.
