Default Oil service cost

My local dealership just charged me $740 for an oil service for my 991.2 GT3. The service advisor even said that 991.2 GT# manufactured post May of 2018 would cost $100 more???
Filter and seal rings - $125
Oil - $95
Labor - $495
Hazardous waste - $6
Tax - $20
Seems a bit of a gouge on the labor and the parts. I found filter and seal rings for about $46 online.
Appreciate your feedback to help me decide whether I should find a different service center. Thanks

What dealership is this? That is extremely high compared to oil changes I've had in the bay area for a 991.2 GT3.

For the last year of my engine warranty I was thinking about getting my dealer to do it, but they sure make it hard to justify with that price. I changed my own coils out a while back. Checked the price at my local dealer, and they quoted $146 a coil. I checked at FCP it was $42. I realize they have overhead, but I just can't justify paying that much.

That's a ridiculous markup. At $42, I'm guessing that FCP does make a small profit over their cost. I wouldn't be surprised if Porsche dealerships' cost would be lower than FCP's.

Suncoast Porsche sells the oil filter kit for $80. Porsche Stevens Creek charged $125.

Go to an Indy with a good rep for less and keep receipts for warranty work if needed down the road.

That’s a rip-off. This is worth learning to DIY if you’re inclined at all. Not difficult and quite satisfying.

Just had a dealer [Porsche San Diego] do my 10K mile service. Oil and Filter, Plugs, Air filters and drive belt in order to keep my CPO warranty valid with no questions.
Total cost was $3700 for 9 hours labor and parts. Air Filters were $900 for the pair. 2019 GT3RS.

Thanks for the all the feedback. I'll stay away from Porsche Stevens Creek going forward.

If you randomly call that same dealership I bet you get a lower price. I've had to tell dealers they were out of line and they quickly dropped their pricing. I get a more competitive price but end up not going back as I don't like playing those games.
