GT4 2nd service

£900 for oil and air filter change. Worlds gone mad.
Still over priced for what it is, but approx. £350 of the £975 fixed price is for spark plugs and brake fluid change on the second service - Normally around £600ish for the basic service. Tyres have by far been the biggest maintenance cost for me with the GT4 over the last 4 years.Having seen how much it costs to service a lambo annually, I'm actually beginning to think servicing a Porsche every two years at the above prices is quite reasonable

which is no better imo.
I got better prices pre fixed price as I asked for discounts etc, now they say it's fixed price, yep fixed at a HIGH price !!!
Well that's clearly not the caseI got better prices pre fixed price as I asked for discounts etc, now they say it's fixed price, yep fixed at a HIGH price !!!
The Porsche fixed prices are far lower than you can get from an OPC that doesn't take part in the scheme

However when Porsche say its £1195 fixed price to service a 2.0 Macan, it really takes the biscuit.
The basic service i had done on my 458 at Dick Lovett Swindon was £582+VAT..Its just a basic service including oil and filter changes..Of course i could get it done cheaper elsewhere but since its got a full Ferrari main dealer service history the premium is worth it just to keep the Ferrari SH updated..It'll more than pay for itself when/if i decide to sell it.
Same will apply to Porsches i suspect..The labour on the Ferrari was £350+VAT alone which is probably similar to Porsches..I was fully prepared to pay more being its a Ferrari and all that.!

Thats still £200 cheaper than some people are paying for a non fixed price Porsche service, some people paid £909 or 975 for the oil and filter service!

I serviced my Ferrari at specialists, and if I brought another that was 8 years old and onwards I would continue to do so, from what i saw it didn't really affect Ferrari pricing too much at all and more people were happy to buy with servicing from a specialist. I guess helps if the car is older.
