A friend of mine has a MY03 911 Carrera 4 and has been using these guys JMH but is trying to find a specialist a bit closer to Chester.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ninemeister in Warrington are supposed to be a Porsche specialist. He could try there?

It's a bit further away from Chester than JMH (assuming that they're still in Holmes Chapel - I didn't click the link) but Mike at Sports & Classic in Knutsford looked after my 993 and I would recommend him wholeheartedly. He's Porsche-trained (ex OPC Wilmslow, I think) and his rates are reasonable (or at least were when he looked after my car a few years ago).

JMH were the other lot I looked at when first considering where to get work done, and they got mixed reports on the Pistonheads Porsche board so I went with S&C instead.

My Dad's mate used to trust his various RS 911s to Tech9

Again, not exactly on his doorstep, but Hartech (IIRC in Bolton) are also very well-regarded in 911 circles.

my business partner trusts them with his 997 C4S and his 911 track car. Very knowledgeable, very fair and competitive pricing.

for Hartech in Bolton.
They're very highly regarded I believe.

Tech9 are very expensive, I was quoted £949 by them for a clutch change whereas JMH quoted £834, both using the same Sachs kit.

JMH also offer a courtesy car for £5.

Saying that I'm going in to Porsche tomorrow to have a key coded, just coded not supplied - £72 for 30mins charged time, or 10mins actual work.

I do get a free "health check" and they will also wash and hoover the car which is a new one on me.
