Default Dealership Visit

Hey guys,

I really hate taking my car to the dealership.. I'm really nervous when it comes to taking a lowered car to a dealership.. esp with wheels on it.. i really don't want someone driving my car, bottoming out or even hitting my unmarked wheels to somewhere..

i use a local shop for all oil changes and such but now my check engine line came up driving on the 405 yesterday, after going WOT onto the freeway.. so something is up for sure.

only "performance" mod is the SW middle muffler delete.. i don't think my car is "modded" just **** when it comes to being low and wheels.

anyone know good service advisors?

i'm located in west los angeles area.

willing to drive

thanks,
josh

I used to be this way... But I learned...it can all be fixed...and it's not worth the energy spent worrying about something until there's actually something to TO worry about.
Be well.

Be well.
+1 - My dealer comes to my house and picks up the car and drives it to the dealership. Gives them an opportunity to test everything and know what potential problems there might be covered by warranty. They've fixed a bunch of stuff and I never have to point any of it out.

The time saving trumps anything for me.

Josh - I have a Durametic if you want me to read the codes (to see if it's worth the dealership visit).

I'm sure Danny can get the codes too...

Took my car to Beverly Hills Porsche. Have been dealing with Juan.

I get a positive energy and very nice guy. I think I am in good hands.

If you're in West LA, call Jason Hallmark at Beverly Hills Porsche and be done with it. Trust me on this one. I know.
