How much does it cost for this scheduled maintenance service?

JS

It depends on which mileage service it is.

I just paid $280 for oil/filter change at the dealer. -Won't be doing that again!
The local race shop quoted me $131 for the same service (and oil) after the fact! Almost $300 for oil and filter is a crime!

I was quoted between $300 to $800 in the Boston area for an "annual service," which is basically an oil change. I think most of the cost is in the dealer stamp...

Noel,bring it over I have a lift and all the tools we can do the brakes, oil ect for the cost of the parts. And we'll take pictures for your service records. Call me. carl

When doing a DIY oil change on the car, just be VERY careful with the drain plug on the oil tank. You must hold the nut on the tank while loosening the drain plug or you can risk damaging the tank. Other than this little issue, the oil change is easy and can be done in about a half hour..

So with $50 in parts (oil, filter, and 2 crush washers) the dealer must be getting close to $500 per hour.....

Thanks Carl, I may have to take you up on that offer. Andrew was gonna locate front rotors for me.

Noel, my misunderstanding, I have four corners of OEM pads that I'd gladly give to you, they are new and boxed, but I don't have rotors. I'm using Cup car rotors on mine now having worn out my second set of discs in just 3,500 miles. Seems they last about as long as my MPCS's!!? Anyhow I'm hoping that the Cup car discs will last a bit longer!

Carl, I might take you up on that too, I'm just at 10,000 miles, and would like to do a full fluid flush, and a general inspection of all parts for wear and tear. Do you have a manual? (I'll take it in to my dealer for the stamp at 15,000, they charge 280 for a service, the real reason to do it is you get the stamp, and it goes on the car's official history on the Porsche computer system.)

I have all the tools and manuals, and a power bleeder for the brakes. I also have a laser toe gauge and digital camber gauge. There are no warranty issues with doing your own maintenance as long as you have documentation. I always take pictures, when I had my F355 I used to video tape all work. Remember its illegal for a manufacturer to force you to go to a dealer for maintenance that you have to pay for. The dealer stamp is BS I rather have photos of it being done . On these cars it comes down to fluids, hoses, belts and rotors. I'm more than happy to help I hate to see the $ 300 oil changes. Carl

Opps! My mistake, I don't know why I typed rotors when I was thinking pads. I'll gladly take them off your hands. Where can I get the Motorsport rotors locally?

Andrew: Let me know when you want floating aluminum hat 2-piece rotors for the front and rear for your GT3 (works with your stock calipers/reduces unsprung weight/better heat dissipation) -- they are available now. Rotors are J-hook grooved, not cross drilled. Replacement rotors for this setup will also be cheaper than the 1-piece cast iron motorsport versions.

Hey birthday boy, are they available for PCCBs I.E. my GT2. carl

Jack

Yes sir, but we're getting conficting info about whether "PCCB converts" will need to change out their rear caliper. We'll need to do a test fit on your car -- what do you say????

MetalSolid

Jack, I need new front rotors, where do I sign?

Jack

Call me and I'll set you up. You can start with the fronts and do the rears later.
