"so far so good ... can't say a bad thing"

Can't understand why there are any negative reviews at all? My experience so far with Portiacraft, namely dealing with Harry, Ollie and Martin has been as above 5 star. Firstly anyone looking to own an older 911 should definitely look at these chaps. Honest, helpful, easy to deal with and above all its a family business which gives me comfort that they will treat all their customers like family too. Been looking for a classic 997 for a while now to bring back the memories of owning one of them 15 years ago when I was lucky enough to get the whole new car Porsche Main dealer experience. I agree with one comment below - you may not get the flowers or presents with your car but with Harry you get an honest handshake that they will look after you for years and miles to come. Look no further and live your Porsche dream with Porticraft. P.S. those saying they dishonestly low balled them ... find it hard to believe and can only imagine the car wasn't in the condition that was advised ... Harry is super transparent and really knows his stuff ... this is not your a-typical 2nd hand car salesman for anyone thinking otherwise! Owning an older car is an experience and you'll have to appreciate that old cars have issues ... even new ones ... Harry and his ace technicians are super and sort out any problems without fuss. Can't say a bad word about any of the guys at Portiacraft. Those complaining .. it may not always be one sided but sorry you've had bad experiences.

"Terrible experience"

My advice is to avoid any dealings with this garage, they are not to be trusted. I agreed to sell my Porsche 911, the price was agreed in writing but when the car was delivered by me (transporter from Scotland to England) the garage did not pay the agreed price. I raised legal proceedings and won but the garage still refuse to pay meaning further costs will be incurred by me pursuing payment.

"A disappointing experience!"

I bought a 996 C4 from Portiacraft in May 2022. The initial sale was good, the post-sales service not so good. Shortly after buying the car I noticed an oil leak so took it to a different specialist for a thorough assessment. My logic was that being under a 12 month warranty I'd be able to go back to Portiacraft if there were any serious issues. The specialist's view was that a) the car was generally very good b) it had a number of issues, and c) they personally wouldn't have sold the car without rectifying some of these issues first. The issues included: Leaking RMS, oil around the breather likely due to an air/oil separator issue, rotten exhaust silencers, brake discs in poor condition and a couple of other bits. When I fed this back to Portiacraft they weren't interested in supporting with the majority of these issues. They did agree to help with the oil leaks though. It went back to them twice, but they failed to resolve them unfortunately. Rather than go back to them for a third time I decided to use the other specialist at my own cost, as I'd lost faith at that point. So, in summary. If you're buying from Portiacraft it's probably worth getting an independent inspection before buying. Yes, they offer a 12 month warranty. Unfortunately it didn't give me the peace of mind I'd hoped it would. The biggest indicator I can give is that I wouldn't buy from them again unfortunately.

"Boxster 986 S Bought at Portiacraft"

I bought a Boxster S from Portiacraft due to the warranty. I have had a couple of things sorted under the warranty and Harry got it sorted no questions asked. I used them as they have been in business a long time and know their stuff. Can't fault Portiacraft and worth a visit

So you are like me and would like to own an old Porsche 911 that you want to cherish without the uncertainties of problems, I highly recommend Portiacraft. You will buying from a family who understands these cars and cover your purchase for 12months with an in house reliable warranty. The prices are well positioned and you will get an honest car. You will enjoy the peace of mind associated with buying from Porsche specialists without the exorbitant prices. You will drive the car with the knowledge that you are part of the Portiacraft family and they look after you as one of theirs. I did the unthinkable by buying from Portiacraft during the lockdown without a Pre-purchase inspection and will repeat the same process over and over knowing what I know now as any problems (only minor issues including just a squeaky door) that I had have been quickly resolved without any fuss. I highly recommend Portiacraft and will stay with them for a very long time in my Porsche journey.

Have purchased two Boxsters from Harry and Martin and have never been disappointed for a minute. Both cars have been excellent and a couple of small faults were put right even out of warranty! Love going to this dealership and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Lovely people that live and breathe Porsche

Harry and his sidekick Martin... I went to Trading Standards to report a faked service history. Went to court where Portiacraft was fined. Make your own mind up. Note the review does not allow me to put the true date of purchase but does a leopard ever change its spots???

Very bad service I drove down for more then 1 hour to view and test drive a car I wanted, but the gentlemen in charge said no test drives unless you want to buy or you put a deposit down and I will insure you for a test drive :-$. Talking about px he clearly said no I don't take no px if you want take it or leave it but it has to be cash. Also I found a massive impact that was repaired to a very bad standards but he turned around saying no its nothing thats how the paint is.

Really very pleased with everything Portiacraft have done. Excellent buying experience, very easy, no problems at all, they even did loads of work on the car to prepare it for sale. They sell good cars at fair prices. After sales service is also first rate. I called about an issue during the warranty period and without wanting to know any details from me about it they simply told me to book it in and they would fix it. Really it's better service than at any main dealer. Anyone looking to buy their first Porsche could do a lot worse than buy from here, I really do recommend them. They seem to have an awful lot of repeat customers, need I say more?

I’ve had 3 cars from Portiacraft, they honour the warrant with no fuss and more. They give a good price when swapping and are very helpful after the warranty has long expired. Knowledgeable and friendly, no rubbish.
