On-site & Off-site Independent Porsche Specialist Inspections

Buying a Porsche is an investment—whether it’s your dream 911, a daily-driven Macan, or a track-focused Cayman.

A professional inspection ensures you know exactly what you’re purchasing before the money changes hands. At JRW Automotive, we offer comprehensive pre-sale inspections, both at our workshop and off-site across the region, giving buyers confidence and clarity.

With 12 years of Porsche experience, Porsche factory procedures, and dealer-level equipment including PIWIS, we provide an inspection standard that general garages simply can’t match.

Why a Pre-Sale Porsche Inspection Is Essential

Porsche models have specific known issues depending on the generation and engine type. A thorough inspection helps identify:

  • Hidden mechanical issues
  • Electrical faults or stored diagnostic warnings
  • Prior accident damage or poor repairs
  • Signs of bore scoring, overheating, or oil consumption
  • PDK, manual gearbox, and clutch condition
  • Suspension and chassis wear
  • Service history gaps or incorrect servicing
  • Undisclosed modifications

Whether buying privately or from a dealer, our inspection gives you full transparency.
