Workshop
The team at William Francis are trained and experienced Porsche mechanics, equipped with the tools and diagnostic equipment, to perform the vast majority of work in-house and to the highest standards. Many main dealers now lack the experience to work on some of the older cars, but we have the knowledge and training to ensure that your car is serviced and repaired the right way – every time.
Whether you’ve bought your first Boxster, or have a high-end classic, the same attention to detail and commitment can be expected from our team. We use a range of suppliers and contacts to ensure that costs are always kept in check. For advanced work, such as engine and gearbox rebuilds, we work with some of the finest engineers in the country to ensure that your projects are turned around in good time and to the highest standards.
So whether you need an MOT, or are looking to revive a classic – we can help.
We recently became a Mobil Service Centre (MSC), joining an elite group of garages that bare the internationally renowned Mobil 1™ brand. Reflecting excellence and long-term care, the Mobil 1™ name is synonymous with the history of Porsche and is used in world championship and passenger vehicles alike.
About Mobil 1™ Service Centres

Demonstrating a dedication to quality and performance, all Mobil 1™ Service Centres provide their customers with Mobil 1™’s market-leading engine oils. This means that you can be confident you are dealing with a garage that insists on using the highest quality oils for your vehicle service.
Mobil 1™ – the world’s leading engine oil
Powerful wear protection, cold weather startup, high-temperature performance and superb engine cleanliness are just some of the qualities that have made Mobil 1™ the world’s leading synthetic engine oil.
In fact, Mobil 1™ engine oil is so tough and versatile that over 60 top performance vehicle models now roll off factory lines with it inside. From Porsche to Mercedes-AMG , vehicle manufacturers trust Mobil 1™ oil as the factory fill and recommended service fill to help protect modern turbocharged engines.
William Francis takes pride in offering this oil as part of our service packages as a Mobil Service Centre (MSC).

- A clean engine works more efficiently and uses less fuel: Having your car regularly serviced and ensuring that the fuel and oil system is cleaned will make the engine work more efficiently, use less fuel and produce less CO2.
We Recommend: Advanced Formula Motor Flush with an oil change
- Cleans engines internally and provide anti-wear protection
- Frees sticking piston rings, hydraulic valve lifters and variable valve timing systems
- Removes lacquer, varnish and sludge deposits from the crankcase
- Neutralises crankcase acids, keeping new oil cleaner, for longer
Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush has been specifically formulated to combat the effects that extended oil drain periods and modern driving habits have on today’s technically sophisticated engines. Urban cycle and start/stop driving patterns increase the rate at which acid builds up; leading to accelerated and premature engine wear. Excessive lacquer and varnish formation reduces the efficiency of oil system components, such as VVT systems, piston rings and Hydraulic Valve Lifters.
Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush is fully compatible with all engine components and engine oils which are formulated to meet API and ACEA Service Classifications and international motor manufacturers’ specifications.
We consider it essential that engines are flushed with Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush at each service.
Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush is fully compatible with and will not affect wet clutches.
