991.2 GT3 - 8 yr service - quoted £3453 - really correct??

[notsomadmick]

My standard 991.2 GT3 (manual) will be 13,000 miles by early 2026. My OPC has quoted me - £3453 - for it's 8 year service in the new year Is this really correct???

That seems unjustifiable to me.

Thoughts welcome please !

Porsche servicing costs are madness, my 4yr old Spyder needs a service and the first quote i've had is over £2,100 and its only done 2,750 miles!

I'll be calling around some other Porsche dealers as others have managed to get the price down to around £1,500 for the same 4yr service.

Yes, I have just been quoted £3543.97 for oil, brake fluid, filters, spark plugs and PDK clutch fluid ... though the car has had three interim oil changes and spanner checks in the last 10,000 miles since the last OPC service.

They say it takes 9 hours to do all this work ... does it really ??

It will be the labour costs. I had the windscreen changed on the Maserati and they wanted £540 + VAT to recode the software!

TX.

And I was told it would take 7 hours !
What is going on ??

Managed to get mine down to £2.5k

Maybe they've assumed a lot of that mileage was done on track and far more work is needed?

I went through the same shock on mine for the same service, on average after chatting to 4 or 5 OPC's most would come in around £3k if pressed.

I've found the Porsche Retail Group OPCs will not budge on price whereas the non PRG ones will negotiate.

The spanner checks and early oil changes / brake fluid change should have accounted for that ... and the person who quoted had no idea how the car was used. It is also a drive to and from / road trip car ... I fitted an early new set of P S Cups and used up the original set of PS4S this year ... (though both still have plenty of tread on them).

Aren't these cars built to do that ?
