That what I paid last week. I declined the Porsche Assistance as I have AA cover so it made no sense to me . I believe Porsche assistance gives you a courtesy car plus trackside recovery which my regular cover may not do
Yes the give something like a merc ,bmw.AA do the porsche roadside assistance anyway, just dont get a yellow van and posher overalls.
They are able to be a bit flexible with their pricing if my experience is anything to go by.
My 2016 981 is due a minor service next month. I enquired about the cost a few months ago and was quoted £681.09 inc brake fluid.
I called yesterday to book it in to be advised the cost of the service is £747 plus brake fluid. I queried it and told them what I'd been quoted and they said they'd honour it.
Also need to renew two year warranty which they tried to charge £1,470. Again referring to their earlier quotation I'd been expecting £1,190. They agreed to honour the quotation. TBF, I think they'd included the 111 check which isn't necessary as it's being serviced by them.
Anyway, towards the end of the call they further reduced the cost of the service inc brake fluid to £650 as an apology for faffing about.
If I'd not queried anything it would've been £2,217 +brake fluid. I'm now paying £1,840. Still expensive but rather less than it could've been.

Does anyone have a comparison in the 4 year service?
I've been quoted £1512 and £1350 by different OPC's - that's for service, brake fluid change and spark plugs.
Have been quoted half that from a specialist - I have the extended warranty which I think service at a specialist will invalidate.

Paid around £900 for 4 year service on my 981 Spyder last year in the Midlands. Based on feedback from 4 or 5 other Spyder owners on another thread this was about par. There do seem to be regular examples of large numbers being quoted/paid - I guess like many things these days you have to shop around to avoid being exploited.

Reading the threads and with my 718 S going in next week for its 4 yr service phoned to see what price and what was covered. Service, fluids and spark plugs all for £995 inc VAT. I am happy with that and in line with average what I pay to get the TVR serviced.
Its still alot of money for basic servicing? undred orse said:
I’ve been quoted £736 and £695 for a first 2 year service on a gts. Also had a low offer on a px against a 911. This may be my last Porsche as the depreciation is getting silly.
I'm getting my 2 year service carried out at porsche Sutton Coldfield for £650.Porsche Solihull wanted £695, which is a bit rich considering we've had about 450k's worth of cars from them in the past 12 months.
Finally, I get the two year intervals, so £650 is reasonable in comparison to other cars. But, I don't get why a filter change, fluid change and check over can total £650? I was told working on the 4cyl 718's is a bit of a pig, maybe thats it!?

Its still alot of money for basic servicing? It is getting ridiculous - the Porsche owned centers not charging the online advertised prices on the Porsche website - even if those were still a joke; not approving the warranty if the tyres are not N rated or the tyre goo out of date.
I'm now specialists all the way and put money in the bank rather than pay for the warranty - but, with the costs as the cars get more complicated I can't fault folks keeping with the brand.
