It's best to deal with the place you bought it from originally. It's kind of tacky going to the local dealer with something you bought online.

Suncoast will take care of it. Talk to Ryan.

But that would be like buying a 991 in Idaho and not being able to get warranty service in Iowa. But maybe I'm whacked.

I see a difference in a car warranty issue and a single elective part purchase, but heck, who knows!!!!?

You are correct that it's a warranty issue and you can go to the dealer.

I personally wouldn't go to the local dealer to do it. I'd feel like an idiot. Here I bought this from Suncoast, so now replace it. I wouldn't feel right doing it.

As far as a car goes, I see things a bit differently. It's common to service a car somewhere different than where it was purchased.

By the way Lex, who is your preferred dealer down there? I've used Exchange and have been happy with them.

I think the Exchange is very reputable. I've tried buying a couple cars from them over the years, but they've never been competitive. I guess they are use to North Shore residents walking in and paying MSRP. I'm sure their service department is great. Never used them.

I've used Motor Werks, but stopped a few years ago because their service writer was an ***.

Napleton in Westmont is OK. Crazy service pricing.

Loeber has done me great service.

I'm now using Rizza, since I ordered my car from them. Very good so far.

In the past, when I've been out of warranty, I've used an indy shop with great success.

Don't know what I'll do with the 991 in a couple years when out of warranty. I have time to figure out. These cars are becoming so complex, not sure if the indys are keeping up with all the computer stuff and diagnostic software. The good part, is that are cars don't really require a whole lot of service.

Yeah I'm with you. Have a dealer 5 min from my house that I won't use. The IL dealers are very $$$ and not near. It sucks.

So, how do they vary from the clear markers that come standard on the GTS? LED vs. standard incandescent?

There are NO standard clears in the USA. Only way to get clear is through Tequipment.

SunCoast has clear and amber incandescent, and clear and amber LED side markers for sale. Not sure which are standard on the 911.
