Default Free 1st scheduled maintenance for the .2 GT3?
Not sure if this has been brought up, but I was looking at the standard features on the new GT3 on the US website. It states "incl. first scheduled maintenance at 10,000 miles or 1 year." Not a big deal considering the overall price of the car, but it's another $500-700 that we don't have to pay.

Yup, all 2018 Porsche will include the first maintenance.

One year is just an oil change right? If so 200.00 dollars.

Depends on the model, but yes essentially.


You no longer have to worry about which dealer will rip you off or charge you more.... Until the second year!

It was $490 for my oil change in LA, Downtown Porsche. Yes it's a rip off, I know.

Good to know. I'm sure it's the same here in Canada?

I think is also illustrates the importance of the first oil change, in the car's first year of life, regardless of low mileage. Most Porsches never see 10,000 miles in year #1. I like the move by Porsche.

Raise prices by 10% but throw in the first service free. May be they will raise 20% and throw in the first 2 years free

If you throw the book at it and do everything they will charge you $3K.. so what if they change the oil for free?

So are we sure the first maintenance is only the oil change or is there something else that gets done?

I was hoping they might refresh air filters, but don't know the intervals on those...

They aren't only stealers because of the stupid asking prices for GT cars, hour service rates are also dumb.

Yea just oil change/oil filter and safety inspection is what I've heard.


Keep in mind that the 1st year maintenance is across all Porsche (Cayenne, Macan, 911, Panamera, 718, 719, 919, 960).


They will do whatever first year maintenance required by the service bulletin. Service bulletin may post additional service items for particular models like GT3 down the line.
