Hey smiles, I would highly recommend calling Tony (owner) at Heyer Performance in Mtn View.

Incredibly knowledgeable and fair..... don't just take my word for it....

Hope he doesn't retire anytime soon......

Tony is awesome - I went to him a lot for track prep and a couple PPIs. Second that recommendation.

That is NUTS! I pay at the Porsche dealership around $275 for an oil change with filters and paid right around $1,200 for 4 year 40K service. Yes, you are being ripped off.

We should start a thread: "Indy Shops". Maybe one could start a post with the state/city and list the Indy shop(s) they have experience with.

isn't basic service included as a part of the warranty/service package? my 911 is a 2018 model and I haven't paid a penny for regular oil, filter, brake pad, change/replacements, except for any service I requested outside of the scheduled services (paid for one oil change after break-in period, and an airfilter over the summer). you guys don't have this in the states?

I’m doing my service at my local Porsche dealer. My 2017 C4S has 6000 miles and they recommended me to do a $3000 Usd service including oil,filters,sparkplugs...etc, not even transmission.
I talked with the advisor and asked to do only oil change, cab fiter, and brake fluids. Still a $1400 quote.
Am I getting ripped off? Or all Porsche dealers price like this?
edit: I also brought in my own brake fluids.
edit2: This was at Porsche Irvine. Can anyone recommend me good indie shops near Irvine? Appreciate any input!

At 6K miles. Change the oil, change the brake fluid. Cabin filter should be fine.
That should be $500 or less.

Try Lang Racing Development in Lake Forest. They've done alignment and other work for me, good guys. BTW, my car was at the Irvine dealer yesterday and I think I saw yours. Speed yellow? Mine was a Racing yellow Carrera T with Matte grey stripes and Porsche side graphics.
