Default Shop recommendation for PDK clutch & transmission fluid change

I have a 09 Cayman s with PDK at around 73k.
I know the clutch is suppose to be at 90k and tranny is at 120k, but I would like to replace the fluid now.
I've read that you need PIWIS tool to put the transmission into fill mode, are there independant shops in GTA with the PIWIS?

Thank you

I've called Porsche North Toronto and they have quoted $490 for filter pan, $220 for Fluid and $507 for labor, which brings the total to $1375 after tax

Fancy new buildings are not cheap, someone has to foot the bill.

My 911 did not require a filter pan replacement. I had it done by Mark's Motors Porsche in Ottawa for less than half of what you were quoted...

I had the PDK fluids changed at Mantis about a year ago. My 2010 Cayman was at 90K. It cost about $500, but without the filter pan (which is not required to be replaced). They have the PIWIS tool just like the dealer, and they work on Caymans a lot, so they know what they are doing,
At your mileage, I would recommend replacing the drive belt as well, if you haven't already.

If you have a jack you can DIY it. I didnt have the cajones to be the first but this guy did......it Is not rocket science or mystical like everyone will have you believe. Its a transmission.
