I also used ACC once, didn't have any real problem apart from them charging me almost a ton to clear out the blocked holes in the vented disks!

I had quite the opposite experience, won't go into it on here but have used Advanced car care for the last service and was happy with their service.

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.

Apologises if this has been covered, I have had a quick look but can’t see anything; I’m looking for an independent specialist in Bristol and wanted some recommendations.
Has anyone used Porsche Mode or Advance Car Care, or are there any other recommendations people have, fingers crossed it is not for anything major just a routine service.
Cheers!!!
Oh, are we not allowed to review our experiences on these forums? Sorry didn't know that, I thought that was kind of the point of forums.
I find the reviews on places like Amazon to be invaluable.
There was a big thing about Porschemode wasn't there? Something like they fell out and the knowledgeable Porsche guy left?
I also used ACC once, didn't have any real problem apart from them charging me almost a ton to clear out the blocked holes in the vented disks! I vowed never to go back after that, and wrote the car off before it needed servicing again anyway.
OK, thanks both, I will remember to not name and shame
.
Will try and search for positive comments and go from there.
Of course any further comments on recommendations would be much appreciated.
I have had first class service for the last few years at OPC Bristol.
So much so I drive there from London for routine servicing.
Call Ashley, he’ll take care of you.

Yes, I have used Brian Woodward for the past 15 years. Very knowledgable and good VFM.
I now have a 997.1 Turbo manual which has not needed any work to date but a small service is due and Woodward will be my choice.

Neil Garner at Kemble. Top team.
Double plus from me.
My friend and I have used these people several times. Reasonably priced and give excellent service. I also like the fact they give a service appraisal of your car - what needs doing soon and what you can leave for a while. Additionally when a sensor failed under their watch - unlikely it was actually there fault - they spotted it and replaced it without question.
Also opc at cribbs, Bristol. Very good for servicing and tyre changing - allowing you to bring your own tyres. Also got Porsche to pay for premature failure even though well outside warranty. TIPEC membership gives Indy level rates.

Spoke to them this morning as mine is pushing water out the front and the radiators are looking sad (it's 18 years old, so I can't complain). Brian has retired and it's now a 4x4 specialist
.
I would recommend SCS in Honiton, approx 60 miles from Bristol but well worth travelling the distance IMO. Well priced, seem very straight and several ex OPC techs.
I live just outside Brizzle and use them and OPC Bristol depending on what is required. Hope it helps.

May be a bit far but can't recommend Lee at Cotswold Porsche Specialists enough. Good pricing, very knowledgeable and cares about his Porsches. My go to indy.
Thread resurrection!
Do these recommendations still stand? Any others in the mix?
I am dipping my toe into Porsche ownership for the first time and I have bought myself a very cheap Boxster. I may need all the help I can get....
I am in Bristol, and so local would be convenient, but happy to travel to get knowledgeable and friendly service
