Free checks for Porsches

Time 4:59 pm, April 24, 2011

porsche-launches-3yr-warrantyPORSCHE is opening its Porsche Centre doors’ on June 4 and offering owners of its open-top models a free vehicle inspection.

In a move to ‘help ensure all Porsche cabriolet owners maximise their open-air driving pleasure this summer,’ customers will be able to bring along any convertible to any Porsche Service Centre for a complimentary check.

All Porsche cabriolets are welcome to the national Porsche Cabriolet and Roadster Service Clinic, whatever their age or model – whether it is a 356 Speedster, a 1994 968 Cabriolet, or the latest Boxster Spyder or 911 Turbo Cabriolet.


The clinics will allow owners to accompany a technician during the inspection, and tips to keep their car’s hood mechanism folding in good order and waterproof.

Each Porsche Centre will also be hosting various activities, specific to each, such as classic open-topped Porsche showroom displays, cabriolet roof treatment demonstrations, light refreshments, and Le Mans-themed displays.

Every participating Porsche Centre is also holding a prize draw, giving owners attending the Service Clinics the chance to win a 1:43 scale model 917, hand signed by 1970 Le Mans winner Richard Attwood, two pieces of Porsche Aluframe Luggage, and a Porsche Cabriolet Car Care Kit.


The Porsche Cabriolet and Roadster Service Clinic follows on from the highly successful 911 Service Clinic held in October last year, during which over 500 Porsche 911s were inspected in Porsche Centres across the country over the course of the day, giving owners a chance to learn more about the intricate nature of their cars; and more recently, the Cayenne Clinic in March 2011, which attracted over 300 visitors.
