Dove House Motor Company has been a trusted name in the world of Porsche sales and servicing since its establishment in 2003. Founded by Mark, a lifelong Porsche enthusiast, the business was built on the vision of offering a friendly and transparent alternative<\/strong> to main dealers. Unlike traditional dealerships, they pride themselves on providing exceptional customer service<\/strong>, ensuring that every client receives expert advice and support when buying, servicing, or upgrading their Porsche.<\/p>\n

A Unique Approach to Porsche Sales & Service<\/h2>\n

Dove House began primarily as a specialist Porsche sales centre<\/strong>, sourcing and selling some of the finest examples of the marque. Over time, the company expanded its expertise and, 15 years ago<\/strong>, launched a dedicated service division<\/strong>, creating a 50\/50 split between sales and servicing<\/strong>. More recently, Dove House has further broadened its services with Dove House Detailing<\/strong>, offering professional detailing, valeting, and ceramic coating<\/strong> to keep Porsches looking their best.<\/p>\n

Unlike many generic service centres, Dove House caters exclusively to high-performance vehicles<\/strong>, with a focus on engine rebuilds, gearbox refurbishments, four-wheel alignments, and routine maintenance<\/strong>. They work on everything from classic air-cooled models to modern 911s, Boxsters, and Caymans. However, they have made a clear decision to stay away from electric vehicles (EVs)<\/strong>, maintaining their dedication to internal combustion-powered Porsche models.<\/p>\n

The Relationship Between Dove House & Design911<\/h2>\n

A key part of Dove House\u2019s success lies in its ability to source high-quality Porsche parts<\/strong>, ensuring that every car serviced or sold meets the highest standards. This is where Design911<\/strong> plays a crucial role.<\/p>\n

Design911 is one of the UK\u2019s leading suppliers of genuine Porsche parts, aftermarket upgrades, and accessories<\/strong>. Their extensive catalogue allows Dove House to maintain its uncompromising approach to quality<\/strong>, with the ability to source both OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts directly from Porsche<\/strong> and aftermarket components<\/strong> where available.<\/p>\n

    This partnership ensures that every Porsche leaving Dove House\u2019s workshop<\/strong> is in top condition, using only the best components available.<\/p>\n

    The Sales Process \u2013 A Commitment to Quality<\/h2>\n

    Every Porsche that enters the Dove House showroom undergoes an extensive 111-point mechanical inspection<\/strong> before being offered for sale. Unlike some dealerships that use required repairs as a negotiation tactic<\/strong>, Dove House ensures that any necessary work is completed as standard<\/strong>. This means customers can purchase with confidence, knowing that their new Porsche has been prepared to the highest standard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Once a car is sold, the handover process includes a detailed walkthrough<\/strong> of the vehicle\u2019s features, assistance with phone pairing, and an opportunity to ask any final questions. This customer-focused approach ensures that new owners are fully comfortable with their purchase before leaving the showroom.<\/p>\n

    Why Choose Dove House for Porsche Servicing?<\/h2>\n

    Dove House’s investment in state-of-the-art equipment, including a five-star alignment system, ensures top-tier servicing. The business provides expert servicing at significantly lower costs than main dealers, ensuring top-level care and expertise.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    A Specialist That Takes Anything in Part Exchange<\/h2>\n

They accept motorbikes, motorhomes, and non-sports cars, using their trade network to find buyers for every trade-in.<\/p>\n

    Expert Advice on the Best Porsche Models to Buy<\/h2>\n

    For those looking to purchase their first Porsche, Dove House offers expert recommendations based on budget and intended use<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • For a balance of performance and practicality, choose a 987 Gen2 or 981 Cayman\/Boxster. The 981 offers a more modern feel<\/strong>, making it a great daily driver<\/strong>, while the 987 Gen2 provides a more engaging, analogue driving experience<\/strong>, perfect for weekend drives and occasional track use.<\/li>\n
    • 911 enthusiasts should be mindful of potential issues<\/strong>, particularly with 996 and early 997 models<\/strong>, which may suffer from bore scoring. Dove House advises careful inspection and servicing history checks before purchasing.<\/li>\n
    • For those seeking an all-rounder, the 991 Gen1 GT models offer the best of both worlds.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A Family-Like Approach to Customer Service<\/h2>\n

      Their customer-centric approach has resulted in a loyal client base<\/strong>, with many customers returning for both sales and servicing. Their close ties to the Porsche Owners Club<\/strong> further reinforce their position as a trusted name in the Porsche community.<\/p>\n
