992 Service costs

[992NewBoy]

I've got a 992 C2S coming up to 4 years old and it's first major service.

Has anyone had a similar service done at an OPC recently?

Just wondering what you paid?

I know I'll need to phone around a few dealers for prices but it would be handy to have some idea of cost beforehand.

Thanks in advance....

I thought first service was at 2 years ?

Minor at 2 years, Major at 4 years.

No idea on price, but if you're calling dealers I'd ask if you can supply your own oil, it'll save you quite a bit of £££ if you can.

Some dealers are open to it and I've done this a few times on other Porsches and OPC's.

I used to supply my own but Porsche put a stop to it a couple of years back. Big profit on oil

If it is oil, filters, brake fluid and spark plugs it is £1,600ish.

I took my oil to my Porsche dealer last week when it was serviced. No issues at all.

You were very lucky there has been an official letter sent out from Porsche to OPC's which I was shown when I kicked up.

A friend of mine just got his 8 year service discounted at Colchester down to £1179.00 from £1414.00, East London even though same dealer group quoted him £1832.00

This was for a 991.2 GTS, but still a massive difference in prices for the same work.

[Hotrods1974]

I just had mine done and paid 1550. My friend also had his done and was 1480

The parts cost is only 400. Major cost is labour at usual crazy rate

Hope this helps.

Not sure where you’re based but I’m in Hampshire so striking distance from a lot of dealers and Bournemouth gave me the best price.

[992NewBoy]

Great, thanks for the info guys.

First price I got today was £2126 😱.

I’ve got a bit of phoning around to do!!

When it gets discounted, do you worry the work is sub standard ?

What a coincidence! Had my 992 C2S 4 year service plus MOT done at Porsche Silverstone today. Cost was an eye watering £1,700 ish. Couple of recalls done too, and super friendly service department, also included courtesy car for the day.

So £2k for a service, what’s that £200-300 for parts and £1700-1800 for a couple of hours labour?

I remember it wasn’t that long ago a minor (2year) was circa £450-500 and a major (4 year) about £850

And in my experience they don’t always do what you pay for and most of the time it’s only an oil change and the rest is the apprentice with a clip board checking things like depth of tyre etc but failing to change the air filter as who is going to check especially on low miles cars!

Which OPCs was this at please? For you and your mate?
My 992S is nearing 4 years old so I’m watching this thread with interest!

Morning

Mine was Edinburgh and my friend Guildford. Ironic that Surrey was cheaper than Edinburgh. Go figure 🤪

Thank you. That’s helpful.

[992NewBoy]

Definitely helpful for me guys. I’m just west of London so Guildford could be really good.
Thanks again for the info
