Oily engine/underbody parts after oil change

Regarding the mess created during a 981 oil change, someone I respect has indicated that when he does oil changes in these cars he first drains the oil from the pan and then starts the engine and lets it run for 3-4 seconds. This takes most of the oil out of the filter housing and makes for a far less sloppy situation. Comments, shock, disbelief, horror?

So I had the car back in the dealership and they told me they didn't clean up properly, they took it in and cleaned it but no apologies. Insane enough that they are charging 400 bucks for a simple oil change, but than doing a dirty job and not apologize? I had to drive 1 hour each way and wait another 30 minutes to have their mess fixed. They did as it was normal. Good that Porsche has these surveys, even though I am still not sure if I want to throw the mechanic (who makes probably less than 15 bucks per hour) under the bus. It is more the dealership and how they handle all this. I also think they should better train their people. Anyway, lesson learned, next time I will go to my indy and save time and headache.

I wouldn’t be shy about noting your issues when you submit the review.
I threw the local KC dealer service department under the bus when they didn’t reset my service light after an oil change. They literally said it wasn’t part of the fee and I would have to pay $150 more to have the full inspection done before service light can be reset. Needless to say the service manager emailed me after they got a poor review from me to offer a reset at no charge. Too little too late, I already decided I wasn’t going to bring the car back there.
