When considering a used Porsche purchase, aim for peace of mind. Let the Porsche service experts at JZM Gulf inspect the car in advance, for maximum information to help you make the right decision.
Specialist advice on cars you would like to buy (or perhaps you have already bought a car) requires considerable Porsche expertise. The JZM Gulf service workshop enjoys over 100 years of combined Porsche experience. A JZM Gulf Porsche inspection will provide valuable information, sure to be useful and after purchase.
HOW TO ARRANGE YOUR PORSCHE PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION
Call JZM Gulf on 02 555 2090. After a few simple questions, we can arrange a convenient time and date with our service advisor, for us to see your car and carry out an in-depth inspection. If you are buying a car, and time is of the essence, we will do our very best to see the car as quickly as possible.
SERVICE WHILE YOU WAIT
On the day your car is booked for inspection, you may leave it with us or you are welcome to stay until the report has been completed. The JZM Gulf service reception has free wi-fi and plenty of tea and coffee available.
A full report may take up to three hours to complete. The service advisor will discuss our findings with you when the inspection is done.
WHAT HAPPENS IN A JZM GULF PORSCHE INSPECTION
We start the inspection by checking that all the lights are working correctly and inspecting all lenses for chips or cracks. We check all the cockpit instrumentation and switches, and complete a general inspection of the interior including seats, seat belts and trim.
If your Porsche has a diagnostic socket, we plug in our official Porsche computer and check all the recorded data. We look for correct mileage (matching dash mileage and ECU mileage), engine over-revs and any logged faults.
When we have completed these checks, we then move onto the exterior. We test all doors and locks, front bonnet and rear hood operation, then examine the paintwork for scratching, chips and originality.
PORSCHE INSPECTION PART 2
We now send the ramp up halfway and check all balljoints, suspension, steering, remove the road wheels and inspect your tyres for wear, tear and irregularities. We stack the wheels, out of the working area, to protect them from any possible damage. We check and measure the brake discs and pads, brake calipers, brake hoses, drive shafts and all other components housed in the wheel arch area, including air conditioning condensers, oil coolers and oil lines.
PORSCHE INSPECTION PART 3
We now lift the ramp to its maximum height, where we can carefully inspect the Porsche underbody, chassis, fuel and brake lines, gearbox condition and examine the engine for leaks. Next we’ll check the exhaust system, all mountings, and roll bars and have a good general look around for anything that will need to be reported. Your car is then taken on a test drive.
Driving, particularly in rush hour traffic can be difficult, but our test drivers are very careful and safe at all times, whilst still making sure that the car is performing as it should.
THE FINAL DECISION IS YOURS
Any new information gathered from the test drive is added to the information already collected to produce your final report. If you have chosen not to wait with the car, we’ll call you to explain our report, making sure you fully understand the details.
We will answer any questions you may have and advise you of the cost of any work the car may need now or in the near future. A written report will be emailed to you within 24 hours.
