Why have your Porsche inspected at Autobedrijf Willemsbrug?

We are an independent garage for all makes and an RDW-approved APK station. Our qualified inspectors check your Porsche against the legal APK requirements. You know the cost of the inspection in advance.

The APK for a Porsche is the same legal inspection as for any other car. You do not need to go to the dealer for it. With us, you get a clear price in advance. A Porsche often has wide tyres and large brakes. We pay extra attention to these.

Macan 6,260 Brakes, tyres and, on a diesel, the DPF.
Taycan 2,860 No emissions test, but extra attention to tyres and brakes.

What do we check during the APK for your Porsche?

The APK is the same legal inspection for every make: brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, seat belts, emissions and the vehicle identification (VIN and number plate). On a Porsche, there are a few points we look at with extra care, or that you as the owner can keep an eye on:

  • Tyres and brakes: a Porsche often has large brakes and wide tyres that wear quickly. During the APK we check the tread, any damage and how well the brakes work.
  • E-Hybrid: many Cayenne and Panamera models in the Netherlands are E-Hybrids. On an E-Hybrid, the petrol engine gets an emissions test. The APK costs € 50. These cars mainly use the electric motor to brake, so the brake discs get little use and can rust.
  • Taycan: the Taycan is fully electric and does not get an emissions test. Because of its weight and power, the tyres wear faster.
  • Diesel with a DPF: on a Cayenne Diesel or Macan S Diesel with a factory-fitted DPF (diesel particulate filter), the particle counter test is part of the APK. A removed DPF means the car fails.
  • Classic Porsche models: on a 924, 944 or older 911, we pay extra attention to rust, brake pipes and the exhaust. Different requirements sometimes apply to a classic car, for example for emissions.

Servicing your Porsche with us

We service your Porsche according to the manufacturer’s schedule, with oil that meets the specified Porsche standard. If you have a Porsche Approved warranty, check the terms to see where the servicing must be done. You are welcome to come to us for the APK.

  • Following the Porsche schedule: we use your registration number to look up which service your car needs, and we use parts and fluids that suit your car.
  • Manufacturer’s warranty: having your car serviced by an independent garage does not automatically end your manufacturer’s warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer’s schedule and uses suitable parts. We record the service in our system and you get an invoice listing all the work. Keep it in a safe place.
  • Free APK with a major service: if you have the APK done at the same time as a major service, you pay nothing for the inspection.
  • Price in advance: call +31 10 479 00 00 and give us your registration number. We will tell you straight away what the service costs.

What inspectors note most often on a Porsche at the APK

In 2025, Dutch inspection stations carried out 31,457 APK inspections on Porsche passenger cars. In 32% of those inspections the report shows at least one note: a fail, a repair carried out during the inspection, or an advisory. For all makes together that figure is 51%. These are the five points noted most often on a Porsche:

  1. Tyre pressure not at the correct value (1,903 times). Read more about tyre replacement.
  2. Tyre tread 1.6 to 2.5 mm (close to the legal limit) (1,455 times). Read more about tyre replacement.
  3. Dipped headlights incorrectly aimed (1,411 times). Read more about car repair.
  4. Significant leak of oil or another fluid (1,031 times). Read more about a fluid leak under the car.
  5. Tyre with insufficient tread (827 times). Read more about tyre replacement.

Our mechanics hold a GMTO certificate (the Dutch qualification for working on high-voltage systems). This means they can work safely on hybrid and electric cars. Read more about servicing hybrid and electric cars.
