I’m looking to have my PDK flushed and would rather not pay $2300 at Livermore Porsche so I’m open to suggestions. Thanks

I don't think they do general Service work based on the following: https://www.sharkwerks.com/services

"At this time, Shark Werks does not perform PPI (Pre Purchase Inspections). We recommend talking to one of the many local dealerships for this and routine internval services."

I take my ‘96 993tt to DeJung Motorsports in Cotati (Sonoma Co) - Steve DeJung is a true expert, specializes in air cooled, been there ca. 40yr.
For tires/wheels and more mundane stuff like an opil change in my 2015 Macan I go to Pagnano Automotive in Santa Rosa.
Both guys are excellent, reasonably priced and convenient to me (I live in northern Sonoma Co).

Kahlers in Dublin just did the PDK service on my Macan GTS for 1/4 of the price you have there.

Yeah I talked to them the other day and they seem to be a good option? Definitely far cheaper than Livermore P!! How long have they been servicing your Macan? When I don’t feel comfortable doing the service myself I’m always a little reluctant to let someone else do it. Just my OCD kicking in. Did they replace the pan too or did they just flush it? Thanks

Are they reasonable compared to the dealer? I’m wanting to get my PDK(2013 C2S) flushed and already got a quote from Livermore Porsche ($2300!!!) Thanks
