Engine light on, a misfire, or a spoiler, roof or suspension that isn't working as it should?

Dealer-Level Equipment
Why Choose Cedar Garage for Porsche Fault Finding?
Leaving a warning light, or trying to chase a fault yourself, can turn a small problem into an expensive one. Accurate Porsche fault finding means a systematic investigation, reading every control unit, checking live data and testing the components involved, so you only pay for the repair your car actually needs. We often see customers who have been quoted for several new parts when the real fault could be repaired, or the parts simply weren't needed.
Our experienced technicians work on the full range, from the 911, Boxster and Cayman to the Macan, Cayenne, Panamera and Taycan, including hybrid and electric models. You get the same level of diagnostic equipment as the main dealer, with the personal service of an independent garage, and we'll never spend more of your money without your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions
Porsche Fault Finding FAQs
What does Porsche fault finding involve?
We use Porsche-specific diagnostic equipment to read any fault codes, then test the parts involved to find the real cause. We'll explain what's wrong and give you a quote before any work goes ahead.
How much does Porsche fault finding cost?
We start with an initial fault finding check at a fixed price, which we'll confirm when you book. If the fault needs more time to track down, we'll always ask you first.
Why won't the rear spoiler close on my Porsche?
It's often because the mechanism has started to stick. Book in and we'll take a look, as it can often be put right without needing new parts.
Why is my Porsche misfiring, with a flashing engine light?
A flashing engine light means a serious misfire, so it's best to stop driving and give us a call. We'll find what's causing it and only replace what has failed.
My Porsche's convertible roof isn't working. Can you fix it?
Yes. Roof problems can be anything from a simple switch to a bigger fault. Book in for fault finding and we'll find exactly why it has stopped working.
Why is the air suspension warning light on in my Porsche?
It means there's a problem with the air suspension. If your Porsche is sitting low, it's best not to drive far, so book in for fault finding and we'll find the cause.
Can you work on my Porsche hybrid or Taycan?
Yes. Our technicians are trained to work on electric and hybrid vehicles, so give us a call and let us know what's wrong.
