Why You Shouldn’t Skip Routine Porsche Inspections

Welcome to our first blog post of 2026 🎉
With January often being a time for fresh starts, it’s the perfect time to talk about one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of Porsche ownership: routine Porsche inspections.

At Miltech Auto Performance, January is when we see the after-effects of winter driving, cold starts, damp conditions, and cars that may have been laid up over the festive period. A professional inspection now can make all the difference to your Porsche’s performance, reliability, and long-term value.

Catch Small Porsche Issues Early

Cold weather and short journeys can highlight early problems such as oil leaks, weak batteries, brake corrosion, worn suspension components, and coolant issues. A routine Porsche inspection allows us to spot and resolve these before they develop into expensive repairs later in the year.

Keep Your Porsche Performing as It Should

If your Porsche doesn’t feel quite right — vague steering, knocks over bumps, uneven tyre wear — it’s often due to gradual wear. As a Dorset Porsche specialist, we know exactly what to look for to restore the sharp, confidence-inspiring drive Porsche owners expect.

We like to show our customers exactly what to look for

Protect the Value of Your Porsche

Whether you own a 911, Boxster, Cayman, Macan or Cayenne, documented inspections and preventative maintenance help preserve resale value. Buyers look for evidence that a car has been cared for by a reputable independent Porsche workshop, not just repaired when something failed.

Modern Porsches Need Specialist Knowledge

With complex electronics, PDK gearboxes, adaptive suspension and advanced cooling systems, modern Porsches benefit from expert eyes. Regular inspections often identify issues before dashboard warning lights appear — saving time, stress, and money.
