I can't speak too highly of Alan and his team down at Autostrasse.
This year's minor service and MOT actually cost less than it did last year.
I booked it in with a request that they have a go at tracking down the parasitic battery drain which has caused me a bit of bother over the past few months (temporarily resolved by being sure to run Ted every day or swap the battery out and recharge it on the bench) - I feared I'd written them a licence to print money.
MOT passed with two orange bulbs renenwed, parasitic drain found and resolved at their expense.
I drove down to collect Ted this morning, a run of about an hour plus or minus traffic. It puts me out of my way. I drive straight past another Porsche Indie, the one with oodles of classic air-cooleds in stock. I know that OPC Cambridge would collect and return my car from my home.
And yet I choose to drive down to Autostrasse at Coggeshall, why?
Well the last thing I want to do is imply any criticism of anywhere else, that certainly isn't my intention.
I trust Alan and his team at Autostrasse.
I'm made to feel like a valued customer, not just some daft bloke with a precious toy and a chequebook or worse still, like some old twit with neither an air-cooled classic or a lease agreement 991..
I like the feeling that because they see Ted for whatever needs doing, they're building up a picture of the car: there's never any scope for pointing and asking "Who did this to your car?"
When I ask what should I worry about over the coming months and miles I get a shake of the head and the reply "nothing at all".
I admit to worrying about the mufflers, are they about to leave the car in an explosion of rust? Again just a shake of the head and "no they're fine".
Yep, I'll keep going back. Thanks Alan and guys. :thumb: :thumb: :worship: :worship: :thumb: :thumb:
