Default 4 year service SoCaL

So my car hits the big four years next Saturday, only have 4,267 miles. Will do the oil/filter drill and brake fluid flush, but spark plugs? Not sure I want to do that. That’s a lot of work and removing so much in the rear is a bit scary. Any recs for dealers in socal to replace just spark plugs? I am wondering if they will only do just the plug vs the entire 4 year service. What did you guys spend for this service? Not that I am being cheap, I just don’t like people touching my car well, and I need to kick out $4800 for a extended warranty next week too🤣

thanks

I had my local dealer (Reeves Tampa FL) do my spark plugs in March for $636, parts and labor.

I used World Motorsports in Torrance. $650 for plugs and labor. I had 30k and track days, so did the coils too ($450).

2nd! I know they try to replace to prevent seized spark plugs. But I def wouldn't change them at 4 years and 4k miles maybe change them at 7-8 years to account for that seized plug situation. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to do.

I can't tell you SoCal pricing - but DFW, all the dealers were similar - $1000. Just plugs. Like you I did everything else, except they reset the light.

I contacted GMG, and they got right back to me the same day. Their 40,000 mile/4 year maintenance is very competitive. GMG is an outstanding shop with an incredible race history.

Also note, my local Porsche Service Department told me that using an independent for the 40,000 mile service was fine as long as Genuine Porsche Parts are used.
