Porsche Cayman first service
Discussion
Hi everyone, new here.
So my Cayman is 2 years old and 20k, so needs first service and brake fluid. OPC is £480+£150 and my local specialist/indy is £250+£105. I'm leaning towards the Indy because it is round the corner to me, whereas Stratford OPC I will need to get the tube home/back, inconvenient.
Can anyone suggest a reason to go to one or the other? Will I lose too much value going Indy? I plan to keep the car for a while.
Thanks
Wes

I don't know so just asking, but will it affect your warranty in any way if you go with an Indy?
As for inconvenience of taking it to the OPC, most will loan you a car of some sort whilst in for a service so minimal disruption to you
Mine is due in Dec this year (first service) and personally I'll be taking it to the OPC

You could pay to have 3 years warranty I think?
As to discount, there are ways of getting money off - get an email quote and watch out for things on the bill other than the service itself (it was either East London or Hatfield that had a £40 'eco test' on one quote I got). Also if you source your own oil you'll save £90 or (Costco do it very cheap for example).

Porsche warranty is only 2 year, correct??
Unless you specifically refused the 3rd year of warranty cover (and Porsche assistance) when you bought the car, then you are covered for 3 years - it is technically optional as it appears as a separate item when you buy the carMoog72 said:

Thanks, bit confusing about 2/3 warranty. Porsche website says 2 years? http://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/po...Either way I bought this car 2nd hand, about a year ago(Being a year old then). I've had a letter from Porsche saying my warranty is running out end of this month. Maybe the original owner opted out to save money.
I do less then 5k a year so don't think worth my while extending.
If you bought used and the two year warranty is about to expire (car coming up to three years old?) I'd be taking out of the Porsche network particularly as your annual mileage is only 5000. The Gen 2 cars don't seem to have the same risk attached as earlier models so I'd wing it.
Sorry, just re-read, car coming up to 2 years old. I'd still wing it on 5000 miles p/a.

So Porsche East London got back to me with
Service £480
Brakes £150
Emissions £40
Air con £120
Sat Nav update £322.76
I did ask if Sat Nav was still £150, and he said, he had been informed today that it has gone up. Also I replied and asked politely for any discount and told not possible, but emission check can be done at next service, but the Air con should be done now.
Ouch, I know this is my first post and I'm coming off as a tight wad, but hey money is a bit tight.

It's booked into Hatfield on Wednesday, said they'll do the Sat Nav for £150, lady who called me was very helpful. Getting a courtesy car, hope it's not a VW lupo lol. Will let you all know how it goes.
Do you know if they will wash/valet as part of the service, or is that too hopeful. Needs a clean and should do it this weekend otherwise. Thanks
