- Has anyone had the 6 year service done at an independent and what did you pay ?
- Does anyone have a recommended indie shop in Jacksonville Florida ?
- I may just get the PDCC bottle replaced at an independent and do the rest myself, has anyone had this done and what did you pay at an indie shop or dealership?
- For the spark plugs what brand/type came in the car from the factory ? I am sure buying spark plugs from a stealership is not a good idea ?
- Did anyone here replace the filter or pre-filter element ? My car has 8K miles on it so this seems like a waste and probably would not affect warranty claims in the future.

Terry is the owner and tell him Bob Z. referred you with the 991. They are one of the best Indy shops I have ever used and Terry has quite the background. I spent the whole time at the shop with him and another mechanic while he was installing my Soul high-flow cats and I really got to know him, and I am going back to him for my PCCB installation. He has the Porsche tools and cannot reprogram them and he has does custom tunes as well.
Technically speaking, IF you had the 4-year service done (plugs, filters, oil, brake fluid).......all you are due for again is oil change and brake fluid.
For example, OE Porsche plugs (Bosch) are $17 each from Sunset Porsche.
Bud, what did you exactly have done at year #4? Then we can better direct you.
Beyond fluids like oil and brake fluid, what exactly needs replacement at 8K miles? If PDCC is age dependent then fine.
Filters, spark plugs, belt etc, at 6 years old are probably all fine. These things don't go bad sitting. Plugs can go bad from many many short starts and stops but that's about it.
I would take care of any age dependent services, make sure the battery is still solid, enjoy the car, and call it a day.
The 4 year service was performed by the CPO stelaership so plugs we done but the way I read the 6 year service under additional items it list the plugs and pdcc bottle.

Agreed but I want to protect the warranty by following manufacturers guidelines (10/100 from fidelity) in case of a catastrophic claim of some sort.

BT, but I don't see how the plugs would be needed again in just 2 short years if the plugs were already done at the proper 4 year/40K Service.
BTW, for reference, this is what was completed in the "4 YEAR SERVICE" as part my 2012 911's CPO. Prices are as of March 2017. Sorry, I wasn't sure how to make it appear in a table format.
