Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Just for reference I have used Northways on several occasions and always found them to be extremely good and helpful.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Due to being quoted £4 - £500 for the service with supplying own oil, I am thinking of taking the car to Northway Reading for £260 including oil with genuine parts. Anyone had any experience with them - heard only good reports so far Thanks in advance Paul

POST 2Original post

Don't know Northway. But, surely the real question is whether it is worth saving £200 to lose the 'Full OPC Service History' on a two year old £50k car? Assuming your warranty has recently expired I'd stick with the supplying OPC in case you have a future 'goodwill' claim. There are no guarantees but, for such a new car, it might be wise to use the OPC.

POST 3Original post

Paul I would stick with Porsche to aid resale value. Also do Northway have the the diagnostic computer and are they changing the brake fluid which is due at 24k. Had my 24k on 2002 car in May at a cost of £450-00 plus vat, with them doing fluid and supplying oil. Also had a Cayenne for a day while it was in FOC. Jonathan

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

decision made to have this and the next 'cheap' service at OPC then take it to Northway Thanks everyone Paul

POST 5Original post

Just for reference I have used Northways on several occasions and always found them to be extremely good and helpful. I would agree that on a nearly new car the "Official Stamp" is a must but I'll certainly be taking my 996 back to Northways in a year or so. I would always use them for fitting accessories etc. Just had a Porsche Tequipment exhaust fitted for £500 (incl the exhaust!) OPC wanted 1200. They also have all of the Diagnostic computers and are ex OPC guys.
