Business Relocation due to fire

Dear valued customers,

It is with an immense sense of loss that I write to tell you of the catastrophic fire that recently destroyed our workshop. Having spent the last 14 years building our business to where it is today, I'm sure you will understand the great sense of loss that I and my whole team are now feeling. Nevertheless, our sympathy goes out to those customers whose cars were either damaged or destroyed, and we are currently working hard to get some resolution. We are, however, extremely relieved to say that no one was injured during the incident.

It has been a challenging few weeks for all involved and we would like to extend our thanks for your understanding and patience during this difficult period, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

To that end, we are pleased to say that we have now relocated to a new workshop in Ringmer, East Sussex. We appreciate that, for some, our new location may come as an inconvenience. That said, I hope the benefits will more than compensate. These will include increased secure customer parking and for us to be able to deliver a better customer experience with our larger, more comfortable reception area that, more importantly, will have our dedicated service reception team located there to greet you as you arrive.

As you can imagine, there is still a long road ahead, but rest assured, our focus is to get Precision Porsche back up and operating as swiftly as possible. With your continued support, I have every reason to believe we will come back bigger and better than before, delivering the service and passion that Porsche cars and their owners deserve.

Finally, I would also like to thank all our team at Precision who, not only have shown a complete sense of dedication and professionalism, but have gone above and beyond what might have been expected of them. Together with their passion for their work, I'm sure we will soon be doing what we do and love best, looking after your Porsche!

PLEASE VISIT US AT OUR NEW LOCATION:

Porsche Driver Assistance Systems

At Precision, we understand the advancement in vehicle technologies, more importantly the latest autonomous safety systems, know as ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). These systems play a vital role in reducing road collisions and passenger safety.

ADAS does this by alerting drivers of potential hazards and in certain situations take control of the vehicle to avoid collisions. It can also assist with other features, such as adaptive cruise control and parking aids, with the use of onboard cameras and radars.

It is imperative to passenger safety, these systems are correctly maintained and calibrated to the manufacturers standards after maintenance/repairs. This could involve the need to remove a bumper carrying the radar sensor or camera equipment, during a windscreen replacement (with cameras fitted) or any suspension and steering components that require a wheel alignment to be carried out.

To meet these ever evolving demands, Precision has put training and tooling needed at the forefront of our continued development. This enables us to carry out routine servicing and support all Porsche models, including the diagnosis and repair of all ADAS systems.

COVID-19 Update

Our current opening hours are from 08:00 - 17:30 Monday to Friday and closed Weekends.

If you require any assistance outside of these hours, please email as below:.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, until which time we are able to resume normal operations.

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Precautions from Precision

CONVID.jpg

As the outbreak of the COVID 19 continues to develop across the world, our thoughts are with those and their families who are affected.

Please be assured that, here at Precision Porsche, we recognise and appreciate the ever increasing uncertainty surrounding the ongoing situation with COVID - 19. Throughout our workshop and office areas we have been busy implementing the necessary measures as advised by the Government, Public Health England and the World Health Organisation to help protect the welfare of our staff and customers .

We will be following these guidelines on a daily basis and will remain open to help support our customers for the foreseeable future.

We fully understand that during this time you may want to reduce the need for direct contact with our staff especially if you, or someone close to you, falls within the more vulnerable category of people. As a consequence, we are going to provide a completely contactless service, thereby ensuring social distance between our staff and our customers.

Your vehicle can be left outside the workshop and the keys dropped through our secure key drop box on the left hand side of the main door to reception. All communication with our Service Team can be carried out using the phone or email, including payments. Once your vehicle is fully cleaned and sanitised, ready for collection, the keys can then be left in a secure location for you to collect.

If there are circumstances where you feel it would be ill advised to leave your home, we can   arrange for your vehicle to be collected. (Subject to any Government guidelines that may be in place at that time). This can be done in the same contactless manner as described above.

Please contact our staff for further details.

Here's what we are doing.
* We've enhanced the robust cleaning procedures of our premises and of your vehicles. In particular, we are paying special attention to the surfaces people touch, using specifically designed sanitising products.  Such as steering wheels, door handles, gear levers, switches, keys and service books etc. The same applies to our courtesy vehicles.

* All staff members are checked on arrival each day for any symptoms along with laser temperature check. Any staff displaying any cold or symptoms will then be sent home to self-isolate.

* All staff members thoroughly wash their hands on arrival and frequently between jobs throughout the day. Our Technicians wear face masks and fresh gloves whilst working inside your vehicle.

Please be assured that in these unprecedented times here, at Precision Porsche, our widely skilled workforce are ready to adapt to any change of circumstances demanded of them. In addition, we will also be going above and beyond our normal duty of care to support both our customers and our staff.

If appropriate, could I remind you that we have our own onsite MOT bay, so can carry out MOTs on any other class 4 vehicles you may have . Albeit that we do not have the same level of tooling or diagnostic equipment that we do for your Porsche, we may well be able to carry out  work required on other marquees of vehicles, during this period of uncertainty.

As I'm sure you'll understand, it is with regret that we will NOT be holding our annual Cars and Coffee event this Spring . All other planned events will remain on hold until such time matters are appropriate.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please feel free to contact our Service Team on 01825 721205 to discuss further.

Thank you for your continued support and loyalty.  We would also like to take this opportunity to send our best wishes to you and your family in these difficult times.

Regards, Jonny Harle and all the team at Precision Porsche.

Porsche 996 Engine Stripped and Rebuilt

996 engine rebuild.JPG

This 996 engine has been stripped and sent off to Hartech Porsche for upgraded Cylinder Liners. They machine out the original Porsche Lokasil cast in liner preform and replace it with an aluminium alloy cylinder plated with Nikasil as used in the hugely successful 911 3.2 Carrera. Goronwy our Porsche Technician now has the meticulous task of piecing it back together.

Ceramic Coating the Porsche Cayenne

Black paintwork is difficult to maintain whatever the circumstances. This daily used Cayenne required an extensive paint correction and finishing with 2 layers of ceramic coat.

Check out the before and after photos. It’s safe to say that we can let the pictures do most of the talking…

Want to know more about ceramic coatings or to schedule a booking get in touch with our technical team.

911UK Cars & Coffee At Precision Porsche

911UK Cars & Coffee on Saturday 29th April hosted by our expert team at Precision.

On the day, members experienced Precisions state of the art service facility whilst enjoying a coffee with fellow enthusiasts and the Precision team. Using the latest Porsche PIWIS testers, Precisions Porsche trained technicians were able to provide one-to-ones and diagnose any fault codes/errors detected and understand the car's recorded data including Rev Range activity. 

In support of forum member “deMort”, members were able to help his daughter raise money and enable her to visit Zambia and Botswana as a volunteer at a local school in Mkushi. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/zambiaexpedition
