2015 turbo S dealer service estimates?
Paul Miller Porsche in NJ quoted $4400.00 for major service @ 19k miles & $2200.00 for rear tire replacement plus alignment?
This seems grossly inflated- What r ur thoughts?
Thanks Rich

Don't EVER but tires from the dealer, unless you want to OVERPAY. Tire places like Tire Rack can give you a list of shops they work with, so you can check these out. I found a local shop that has the latest wheel and road force balancing machines. I use the dealership for alignment only, they want to charge me 275.00 for an oil change, that costs me under 70 dollars in parts and oil, and takes me 30 minutes, my lambo and ferrari dealers are DOUBLE that, so I do them myself too.

A "major" service for a '15 turbo would - this from memory - likely include oil, filter, pollen filters, brake fluid flush, and spark plugs. For the latter, the engine has to be lowered several inches.
Nevertheless, $4k is at least 100% more than a very expensive major service.
BTW, My dealer matches Tire Rack's prices.

My dealer charges me the same price for the tires as I can buy them for from Tire Rack and a flat fee of $50 per tire for mounting. They call it a service for their customers. Novel idea. Never had a problem with them as they have the right equipment for mounting and balancing.
The price they gave you is ridiculous. And the $4k plus price for service should be illegal.
Run away from them and find another dealer or good Indy.
