I would not recommend MMC. They have no clue what they are talking about. I had my SD stearing wheel installed there and it was installed off center twice! Also asked them to program my PSE button and I basically had to explain how the PSE system works. They always seem to find something wrong with tires. Although Mr. Holland said he would match any price i find for tires (even Tirerack). keep in mind though that tirerack gives you some warranty that any dealer would not give you.
Although I must say MMC did a great job picking up and dropping off my car from my parking garage the numerous times they had to correct they work.
I am sure any dealer in NJ or even LI would be happy to pick up your car for your NYC dollars. Anyone have any experience with service as Porsche of Roslyn or Huntington etc?

I can tell you I was extremely annoyed that 2 days after I get it back - it overheated again. What if I were on a long distance journey because I trusted the tech that all was checked and double checked.
I understand that situation is not unique to me (being on a long weekend drive) - but for goodness sake...

I’ll say it again, MMC Sales, f- - -ing amazing! Service not good and clearly shady, same issue happened to me as OP, went to Ray Catena, they laughed. MMC Detail/PPF absolutely horrible! Not even worth talking about it, huge waste of time! Do yourself a favor and go to Ray Catena, they even pick up and drop off. Reasonable priced. Just my two cents....
Gave the same to Sun Motors, Cherry Hill, and Ray Catena (told me no negotiation at all since they couldn't even guarantee me an allotment).
Porsche Warrington Pa on the other hand gave me a really good deal and I signed immediately. When I went back to Ray Catena with the Range Rover or service, I stopped by Porsche to look at the 911 GT3RS they just got in - and the salesman (Last name Marinelli) was totally shocked I had signed the deal - even asking me to bring it in to show him the car (said he never saw blue over red but I think he might have thought I was making it up).
I'm a really simple person when it comes to negotiation. I give a chance, I get a price. I don't like to haggle - I don't like to send back an email "Come on - come down another few points, etc). I tell them straight up I just want their best price and I'm not going to counter. They all gave figures - (one of which was so ridiculous.... I wouldn't even reply).

I gave them a shot to make a deal when I was looking for my 911 4S. No budging at all - not sure they took me seriously to be honest.

Let me know how Flemington are. Used them once for a warranty issue and all was good, but they are a very small dealer and from what I can see don't seem to move much inventory, so I worry how much spanner time the techs actually get (and whether or not they spend more time working on Audi/VW etc. as the dealership deems to be inter-connected).

My experience at MMC is limited to buying parts and sales of CPO cars. For parts, they weren’t hugely more expensive and have been convenient in the past. However, their used car prices are mostly a lot higher than other dealers. Occasionally they have something well priced.
Dealers are expensive everywhere. When I was in Houston I expected the dealers to be significantly cheaper for service than in the northeast. They weren’t. They have to pay for those expensive overheads somehow I guess.

Reading this thread, what a nightmare and unacceptable dealer. I realize it's probably at least 40 miles out of your way, but I have been using Huntington Porsche out here on Long Island. First for an '09 CPO 911S I did not buy from them ,and currently, a new '17 base 911 I bought in Philly. Service is excellent, always has a loaner for me, Boxster with manual, Cayman, Macan, Cayenne, etc. . Call Sean Brereton, 631-424-1307, Good guy, honest, knows his stuff and a true car guy.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Just so you know, I believe MMC and Huntington have the same owner(s).
