[928uk] parts supply and service list

[Mike Stoane]

Guys, this is great thanks.  I'm right up for meeting too.

Have any of you used David Phillips Autos?  He is actually walking distance from where I live and his workshop seems pretty clean and organised.

I didn't have a very nice experience there with my 944, but it would appear there was a miscommunication (so I'm told)? Other guys up here rave about them, and one is trying to convince me that I should take my 996 there.

>>> Hi Mike. Welcome to the list and to 928 ownership. Where abouts in Scotland are you? Over on the West coast the most thorough specialist is George Morrison in Rutherglen, but in my own experience he can be a touch unreliable and always does 'extras' that you haven't asked for...and charges accordingly. Saying that, my GTS has never let me down in the 13 years whilst he has serviced it. Last year I went to a garage called 'Lorimer and Findlay' in Glasgow. Peter Lorimer used to own a 928 and so far has given excellent service. Not as expensive as George. I will stick with him for my timing belt change next year and report further.
