Recommend Matt to anyone!
I was recommended to contact Matt from a friend of mine when I was having problems with my 997 gen 2, that had a rough idle. I spoke to the nearer dealers in the St Albans/Herts area and they all wanted to "book it in and we will do a full diagnostics and that will only cost you £xxx...then we can go from there...". After speaking to Matt (and he well and truly knows what he is doing with Porsches - you can tell when you speak to someone!) he verbally diagnosed a VVT valve but was fully prepared for me to bring it in to run up on the diagnostics but his thought was the VVT valve. £98 part from Porsche, 4 hrs for me to get to it due to the usual crap rusted nuts&bolts that Porsche use (and then replace with stainless ones) the job was all done.
Matt could quite easily of requested that I bring it in and do the work himself but as he spent nearly 30 mins talking through the fault and everything else about my car, I feel it is worth telling you all about him...put it this way, any work that needs doing on my 997 will get done by Matt in the future and he also recommended a good paintshop in Stevenage for some detailing I want done in the future.
GREAT GUY AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - he will also be doing some work on my wifes mini cooper s as that has a timing issue and after just speaking about it, he obviously knows his stuff on minis as well!
Very unusual in this day and age; a genuine guy that obviously has a real passion for Porsches and cars generally.
From my friends feedback and my experience - YES, Porschacare (Matt) is a genuine mechanic you can trust and I wish him well in his new business as he deserves it!
