I use Porsche of Warrington, they treat me very well, sales and the service guys are great(plus it is closer to my house).
I've been driving my car as much as I can this winter as long as it is dry. Taking it out tonight to dinner/drinks and again on Saturday since it will be 55 and dry. Saturday I'm going for a rip with fellow member NickYoskin(GT3rs) on Saturday, not sure where but we're thinking of taking a ride to AC to grab late lunch/dinner or something if anyone is interested.

First; I made the appointment via their website. The service person kept on saying that they shouldn't schedule me because they were running behind. He said this 10x times. I made the appointment days before.
Second; When it came to a loaner (which I indicated that I need one from the online form). He gave me a hard time because I said I won't be able to return the loaner today (same day). He said he had to reschedule my service. I told him that Porsche of Conshohocken never gave me any issue with keeping the loaner for more than 1 day. He then went to talk to his manager and gave me a loaner at the end. He kept on saying that he was doing me a favor and can't do that again because the company is paying for those loaners (?)
Third; He charged me $70 for emission and inspection (and $310 for an oil change). I pointed out that emission should be exempt (less costly) because I drove the car less than 2K miles last year. I bought the car from them so inspection should be free. He said "Well, Sloan bought us ..." then stopped mid way and said that he would put a note in the paper work about the free inspection.
I don't mind the cost but at least be honest about it.
I bought the car from them last year when they were Thompson Porsche. I have to say that the service experience so far is way less than what I've got from Porsche of Conshohocken (which I bought my wife's Porsche from a few years prior).
If I had this kind of experience before, I wouldn't buy the car from them. A patient of us just opened a Porsche dealer in Delaware and always wanted my business.

Porsche of Warrington is the only dealer in the area demanding a $25K+ mark-up on the new GT3 -- all others at MSRP (albeit with long wait lists!)

I think this event (since I am the host and I am 35) will be a bit of a younger crowd. Should be a great time - come on out!

It varies greatly. Some of the meetings are all people in their late 40's, 50's and 60's. With a few random people mixed in. Other event are much "younger" and you will get a good group of guys in their mid 30's and early 40's too.

I'll definitely be attending one sooner or later, I just turned 30, don't want to feel too out of place

Militos Restaurant in Downingtown, PA. There is a separate thread in this section for it....nothing fancy....just an excuse to drive the car and chat about cars to other Porsche fans
No worries man. I just turned 35 and will be there with my Macan and Audi S6. My buddy is 28 and he is coming with me. Hope to see you there

Have you guys switched to summers yet? Feels like it's safe now. I've been waiting because I sometimes leave for work early at the low temp of the day when it's round 40. Itching to go back to summer grip and my turbo wheels!!!

I run summers all year long, but don't drive my fun cars from Dec through early April, so not a good gauge, unfortunately. Too much salt/brine and potholes in winter and early spring.
