OPC Servicing Standards

[worldwidewebs]

I picked the car up from the OPC yesterday after having the (4 year) major service, brake fluid and spark plugs change plus the 111-point warranty check done. A puncture in one tyre was reported which I've just had sorted at my local tyre place but it was obvious from taking the wheel off to do it that the wheel hadn't been recently removed.

I find it a bit odd that the wheels wouldn't have to come off for either the brake fluid change or the 111-point check. I just wondered what others thought about this and whether they would expect the wheels to be removed for either/both of these two jobs

My Cayman had full OPC service history when I bought it but I'm pretty sure that only one bleed nipple per caliper had ever been disturbed when I bought it with 46k miles at 6 years old. Not good practice in my opinion and an example of why I prefer to maintain my cars myself.

Not good

I don't see how they can bleed inner and outter nipples on the calipers, my major was also non wheels off.
But I don't let OPC do my fluid on the brakes, I tend to do that.

They did not even pick up all my brake sensors were cut and twisted together.

The service notes WM 470855 do say that the fluid should be drained on every caliper at both bleeder valves. Surely this can't be done with the wheels on
