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!

Not sure what city you're in, but let us know and I am sure you'll get some recommendations for a good indy. I have never had any of my 911's serviced at a dealer. That seems ridiculously high to me but not surprising given what I have read about dealer service prices over the years. They might give you a loaner during service, but I'd rather get my own rental or use Lyft & save the $$.

no reason to go to the stealership unless its a warranty visit

Was the in service date in 2016. Must be to warrant the 4 year or 40K recommendation for plugs.

Was just as my local dealer (BH Porsche) for the heat shield campaign and found out their hourly labor rate is $295/hr! Can't imagine why anybody wouldn't choose a great Indy instead.

Oil change will run you somewhere around $400 (+/- $100 depending on location). Filters do yourself. Brake fluid change is not another $1,000

That means they want around $2,000 for plugs. An OEM plug can be had for around $4, so go figure if they are ripping you off or not!
