Only once.
But, in fairness to Sytner, other techs send me videos of my car with voice-overs.
Only once.
John, you've pursued me relentlessly since I criticised you for telling a Jewish joke a long time ago. Stop now.
Standard practice these days. I can name a good few auto electricians who spend half their lives at the back of one main dealer or another. Its beyond the scope of most main dealer techs to fine a broken wire or corroded connection these days. If the computer says no its straight on the phone to a specialist. You might as well have have gone direct to them and saved yourself a fortune.Busterboo wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 11:03 am Recent 5-year experience with a major Porsche dealer and two Porsche independents showed me that they have, in fact, a symbiotic relationship. The dealer sub-contracts work to the independents, including engine-out jobs (common in 911s) and engine rebuilds (sadly, not uncommon).
In return, the independents benefit from significant regular income, fast delivery of parts and technical support.
For my part, I did what many punters do, of course, and used the dealer for keep-the-service-record-up-to-date work and the independents for the rest.
Just ignore me Buster, the anti D happy pills are not working very well. Time for yet another change.
In which case, John, write what you like. And good luck with the pills.john-e89 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 10:14 pmJust ignore me Buster, the anti D happy pills are not working very well. Time for yet another change.
The answers have already been covered, however for clarification purposes I wouldn’t want a main dealer near my car because of 2 reasons: quality of workmanship and price.
It begs the question, what have they done for £7k ?
