Default 2 year service

I have about 11k miles on my 07 S.
I have had the oil changed 3 times, but it is now coming up for the 2 year service. The dealer just quoted me $650, is this about right? It soundds as if all they are actually doing is an oil change and checking a few things.

Thanks a lot

I had same question, and in reviewing the book, it appears that basically that is all that it is...a glorified oil change. if you have not had your brakes flushed, that is likely necessary, but no way that plus an oil change would be $650. I found a good indepedent shop that flushed brakes for $150 (including fluid), didoil change and went over the car. I kept the receipt as proof for my records, as I don't believe Porsche can "make" you go to a dealer for the 2 year (or in my case 24K mile service). They justw ant to know that the car is maintained

Basically oil & filter change, air filter, polen filter, and brake fluid flush. Lots of visual inspections, check for fault codes and do any TSB.

Limey,

Every time I see your avatar I think it should have a caption which reads: "Hey, do you realize that you just ran over our brother?"
