Dealer excellent, panelshop that does the repair work? Pretty shit really.
This is all communicating directly with the owner. They are a Porsche specialist. Impossible to organize a loan car as they couldn't tell me when one would be in as if they had no idea. My dad kindly dropped off and picked up the car for me as he works much closer to the city than I do.
Three things needed to be done: Respray bonnet, fix drivers footrest and passenger seat flip forward not releasing.
What was actually done:
Cables tightened up for the passenger seat, seems OK now.
Bonnet touch ups sanded down a bit and then the bonnet polished by whom I can only assume was the work experience kid because it is swirled up something horrid and the drivers guard somehow has swirl marks like the orbital was dropped on it. Polish was left on all the edges, window washers and even the windscreen wipers.
Footrest panel was sikaflexed in place and popped off under hard braking when I avoided hitting a wallaby. You can’t Sikaflex interior panels in when they have serviceable items under there – AC fan, condensation container and drain etc.
Funny thing is they asked about getting rid of bad google reviews from cars they never had at the shop. I know two are from friends of the panel shop down the road but I guess they'll never get that information now. ?
Not resisting, bugger all difference in economy but Dynamic is how the engine should behave all the time.
