Good point. The 30k doesn't even call for new belts or brake fluid bleed (every 3 yrs). I suspect that it's all about the dealers charging a fortune to change the spark plugs, which is one area where the dealers simply got us since very few people are willing to do it themselves.

 

You are correct the belts are not usually part of the 30,000 mile service. We asked for the service to be perfiormed since we just bought the car and only received minimal service records from the P.O. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay since it was going to be my daily driver. If I remember correctly it was about $200.00 for the belt replacement.

I will also vouch for Mike Callas at Rennsport in Sealy. I worked with Mike on a race team and he is the best and very honest. As is his son Tony Callas who owns Callas Rennsport in Southern California.

I am getting my 30K from Roger Jobs Porsche. They are giving me a deal for 800.00 as their normal price is 1200. I had purchased my 95 993 c2 from them 3 months ago in December. They have immpeccable service and have provided me with a 2005 Cayenne for the Weekend as a loaner while my car is in the shop.

 

NIce TOE JoAnne!!!!!!!!!!...

ok, back to the thread.....
way back....I paid about 600.00

 

im with you mark -- i can't see it adding up.

 

About $400 in parts, the rest is labor, mostly changing out the plugs...taking off the muffler to get at one side, et.....at least 8 hours...at $100 an hour. + parts and there is your $1,200.

I did mine with a Porsche mechanic...it really does take about 8 hours by the time all the little things are done.
