Yes, it should say Newcastle!

My 2002 996 C4S is due a service. Previous owners have always gone to the Porsche main dealer at Silverlink. I'm usually more of an independent/specialist man and don't mind travelling if its somewhere I can trust. Sports and Specialist cars has been suggested by a friend, and also a couple of others in Leeds and the north west. Does anyone have any personal experiences which might be relevant? Is there Porsche specialist just off Scotswood road? I can't find his details.

There was the one down the dodgy looking ally next to Scotswood, but i went to have a look last week and i couldnt find it. Maybe its shut?

My dad takes all his to Strasse in Leeds, and has been doing for years so they must be OK!

Is on Saltmeadows Road in Gateshead now just past bus depot.

I can actually see them from where I'm sitting, hence I'm 100% sure of this!

Specialist Cars in Malton are very good, always had great service when my Boxster was in... maybe a bit more than 100 miles from Newcastle, but theres some great roads down that way so it kinda makes up for it wink

Hi,

sorry for the late post, but a lot of us porsche owners here in EDINBURGH bring our cars down to Rob Beresford at auto services in Hartlepool!

he is that good we drive that far down! he has done wonders with my 996 turbo and very good prices (well, i am Scottish) !!! he even came up to Edinburgh to pick up my 996 turbo when i had to go offshore and did not have time to take it down to him! top bloke as well! smile

his number is garage = 01429 863 666 or mobile 07907 911 911
