Compare Porsche welding repair quotes from specialist garages

Porsche is known for its high-performance luxury sports vehicles - the best-selling model being the Cayenne. The company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, created the world's first hybrid vehicle in 1899. It was called the Lohner-Porsche and was driven by electricity with a fuel-powered generator to charge the batteries, though it never made it into production.

Porsche continues to break new ground to this day; in 2017, the Cayenne S Diesel model earned the Guinness World Record for towing the heaviest vehicle, pulling an enormous Airbus A380 aeroplane weighing 285 tonnes.

Car welding involves joining materials using extreme heat without the need for a binding material. Three main methods are used in the automotive industry: metal inert gas welding (MIG), plasma arc welding (PAW) and tungsten inert gas welding (TIG).

You can use car welding services for bodywork repairs and bigger structural jobs. For example, you might fix electrical problems, a rust patch, a cracked panel or a broken muffler using welding. Expert exhaust welders are common since this component often needs to be repaired using the above techniques.

The difference between a coded welder vs regular welder is that the former has taken an exam using a particular welding configuration. Unless the damage is minimal, you should try to book a coded welder.

Some mechanics may offer mobile car welding services near you, so it's worth researching as this could save you a trip to the garage.
