Porsche Specialist
Independent Porsche Servicing — 911, Cayenne, Macan, Boxster & Cayman
Porsche ownership should be a pleasure, not a financial burden. JLR Autocare provides independent Porsche servicing, diagnostics, and repair at our Hitchin workshop — delivering Porsche Centre quality at significantly reduced prices. From the iconic 911 to the Cayenne and Macan SUVs, our technicians have the knowledge and equipment to maintain your Porsche to the highest standards.
Porsche vehicles are precision-engineered sports cars and SUVs that demand specialist knowledge. Our technicians are experienced with Porsche's unique engineering — from the flat-six and flat-four engines to PDK transmissions, PASM adaptive dampers, and Porsche Traction Management.
We carry out PDK gearbox servicing at the recommended 40,000-mile / 4-year interval. This service — which Porsche Centres charge a premium for — involves draining and refilling the transmission oil and replacing the filter. Regular PDK service is essential for smooth shifting and gearbox longevity.
For 996, 997, Boxster (986/987), and Cayman (987) owners, we can inspect the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing — a known weak point that can cause catastrophic engine failure if it fails. We offer inspection and upgraded bearing solutions.
Our customers save significantly compared to Porsche Centre prices. A full service on a Cayenne or Macan can cost hundreds less, with no compromise on parts quality or workmanship.
