I was happy to know my first oil change was $0.00. I bought my 2017 C4S CPO from Porsche Nashville and had the first oil change yesterday at Porsche of Delaware. I was pleasantly surprised by the free oil change. I was more impressed by the great service. The free Cayenne loaner vehicle was the cherry on top.

Never say "free". Say "no-charge".
You're paying for it. It's just burried someplace now. Still feels good.
Also, reading between-the-lines, I think this shows that Porsche thinks an oil change in the first year, regardless of low mileage, is truly important.

This is what I was told from the dealership. $400ish is hard to swallow but wirth it for peace of mind. I know I can go to an independent mechanic and get same quality oil change for 1/2 or less that price, but I want vehicle history to show all Porsche dealer service and hopefully they will give me a deal on my next Porsche.

I have purchased 6 Porsches from dealerships and had every Porsche serviced at each dealership. I have NEVER received anything FREE or NO CHARGE despite my dedicatation to each dealership. On the other hand, I just purchased a new Chevrolet PU and they will provide my next few oil changes FREE. It makes me rethink my dedication to Porsches. My oldest Chevrolet PO lasted way over 130K; my last Porsche lasted less than 100K.

Do you give your customers free stuff?
All I want is a (1) quality service/product. (2) On time. (3) Done right the first time. (4) At a fair & competitive price.
