Default 30K mi service cost

So, I need a 30K mile service. Two local dealers want $1050 to do it. I know I live in a high-cost area, but WTF!!! Does that sound right? Oil, filters, plugs, ..

I have my 30K service coming up soon. I am guessing here on the other coast the price will be similar and be in excess of $1K.

I think it was around $550 for me, if memory serves. I have my 45K coming up now.

Lucky that I have the #1 rated dealer in the US!

That's a first estimate I got from one dealer until he realized that the GT3 (GT2 and TT) requires plugs changed at that service unlike other 996s.

That is about right (actually a hundred or so low) for my area's (L.A.; SoCal) Porsche dealers.

What do independent shops charge for the 30k service?
