A mate of mine wondered what they were like to deal with, quality of car they sell, after care, getting a deal from them?

I see they have testimonials on their site but you can't contact these people so not much value!

    I often go to the website for a drool, they sell amazing cars. Drive past too and their site looks good, and my overall impression is of a quality outfit, probably run by car enthusiasts. Never dealt with them, and could be talking rubbish, but there you go!

    I haven't purchased from Hollybrook but I have used the services of sureclean which is on the same site and i'm pretty sure it is run by the same people.
    I found it to be a very professional service, full valet, tar removal and touch up of a very good car I had. If their cleaning service is anything to go by they are very decent people.
    They have been there for years and I have never heard anything bad about them, and I live in that area.
    Why not check out a porsche NI forum, someone there has probably dealt with them before

    I have talked with them before. The truth is that they are a bit on the expensive side - trade-ins are pretty low and sale prices high. On the other hand, people do seem to say good things and you can trust in the cars because George, who does the servicing and maintenance, is an authority on Porsche.

    So you can buy with confidence but the prices are such that you can save a lot of money with some savvy buying and an expert inspection elsewhere. Or of course you could go to Agnews and spend pretty much the same with a 2 year porsche warranty in hand... much as I dislike Agnews... I would find it hard to ignore them.

    Another thing that might be worth note is that Porsche approved used cars now have a 2 year warranty. So buying from Agnew's (much as I hate to admit it) gives you that peace of mind albeit at the expense of having to service the car with them for a couple of years.

    Does anyone know how Hollybrook go about the warranty? Given the above info, i wonder whether they offer something as bulletproof as the full porsche warranty... that certainly would justify the prices...

    Haha I actually mean 'official porsche centre', if you will. Of course, since there is only one such organisation, it is easier to just say agnews :p

    The truth is I get my car done with George (who does the hollybrook cars) because I would not trust Agnew's to do a good service at an acceptable price!

    On the plus side, some porsche pads and discs do regenerate over time.
