Boxster S service in London??

[eric s]

Hello,
i just booked my car for the 1 year service (inc. oil service).

The car now has KM 10500 (6000 miles).
I bought it in May last year with KM 6500 (4000 miles).

The East London Porsche Center quoted me GBP 384 over the phone.
I find this very expensive (?).

My Z3M oil services used to be well below GBP200...

Any advice? comments?

(i need to do servicing in an OPC as my car is still under warranty.....)

Thanks,
Eric.

Chris, was it the East London dealer too?

My car in a Jan02.
& had its yearly service in May last year (2003).
(no oil though).

Is it really reasonnable that to do an oil service every year?
(the car may well have 12000miles in june05).

I am just wondering if it is really necessary to do it now or if i should wait december 2004?
If i wait untill then, does it invalidate the warranty?

Regards,
Eric.

Paul, that' s exactly the answer i needed...

just a few more precisions....
*how many liters of Mobile 1 do i need to bring them for the service?
*which type Mobile 1 do i need to bring them?

am i stingy? i can' t help but find a bit OTT that Porsche takes £384 when BMW takes £160 to do the same job on a similar type of car => my previous z3m...

Thanks again,
Eric.

Finally got the car back from OPC East London.... i am so happy! (so far...)...

I insisted that they stick to the oil service & brought my own Mobil 1. They charged GBP 273...

ALSO!! they discovered the infamous RMS failure (Rear Main Seal). Which they repared under warranty.

I am a bit concerned by this failure happening so early in the life of the car!

Anyway thanks all for your replies, it helped a lot to reduce the final bill!!!
