Official Warranty - Labour Cost for Wear and Tear Work

[DangerDoom]

Hoping someone can clarify things. Does the official Porsche warranty cover the labour cost associated with wear and tear work?

I'm anticipating that a set of shock absorbers will need to be replaced. The shocks are of course wear and tear so planning to pick up the cost of those. Will the OPC charge me for their labour though?

No! Why would it?!

Of course!

Thanks for your replies. Thought that would be the case. Just wanted to check in case there was something I've misunderstood with how the warranty works.

Any idea what the typical labour is in replacing either the front or the rear set of shocks?

My OPC replaced both springs, shocks, bump stops and top mounts for me in January. Labour charge for this was £255 + VAT.

There is one caveat here - if you are getting some approved warranty work done, which means dissassembling certain wear and tear parts, then you can just buy the new parts and the OPC will fit for free as they are taking apart and replacing said parts. I had an RMS job done and I just paid for a new clutch (didn't need a new clutch, but just got it changed anyway) and was fitted FOC.

Excellent point, Sir!
