Running your Porsche on a sensible budget is the philosophy here.
As Cotswold Porsche Specialists founder Lee Jones puts it: “We are committed to low-cost Porsche ownership through good-value labour rates and servicing, low-cost spares and intelligently targeted repairs.”
That means being realistic about what a car needs now, and what it is likely to need in the future – diligently written out as a ‘road map’ in the boss’ own hand on the back of every invoice – and offering a choice of spares, from genuine Porsche to used.
It’s a warts-and-all review of a car they can pick away at over time. “Even cars of 10 years old have one,” says Jones. “As they get to 20 years and older, the map gets bigger.”

Fixed-price servicing and sensible labour rates keep a lid on maintenance costs for more affordable models
The supply of secondhand spares is what the business was founded on back in 2012, although things have come a long way since.
“We just expanded sideways,” Jones admits. “Now the breaking side of things is really non-existent, although we still have a healthy inventory.”
