Got quoted $2600 for spark plugs, air filter, oil change, brake fluid change and cabin filter at the dealer. Sound reasonable?
I’ve done everything but the plugs and brake fluid. Will do these myself.
They also wanted to buy my car. Lol. Btw. the 992 looks pretty darn good. But the 991 still looks great and I was a proud owner when service guy pulled my baby up on its return home. Had two recall items done.

Reasonable? No. What the dealer charges? Yes.

Just quoted about the same. Last service at dealer I hope. Highway robbery. If I can’t find a good Indy shop I will try to do it myself or more likely move on to another brand. The dealers are gouging out of greed. We’re probably paying $1k/hr for the work. Oh and to add insult to injury I had the same bloody service done 4 years ago for $1400. Inflation is 10x the worldwide average for Porsche owners lol

When I did PPI , mechanic told me belt was fine. Shoul I still do it while bumper is off? I thought about have them change filters. Is there anything else I should have them done?
Thanks

When the bumper was off, they offered to take $250 off the service. Peanuts.

Last month I just paid $1170 for that same service on my GT4, so I would say No, it's not reasonable.

I think my dealer charged me even more for my 4 year service. Location probably has a hand in this (LA)
