2014 981 2.7 8yr service costs OPC vs. Indy (RPM)

Interesting that Nottingham is the Midlands but Leicester is in the North?

Presumably if the MOT has already been done you get the next 2 done as part of the deal regardless?

Looks like a good deal although unfortunately very few OPC's in the South covered, and none from Porsche Retail Group. Looks like a good deal if you're based up North.

Curious whether this service plan is refundable or transferrable to other owners.

Given Porsche retail group sites are owned by Porsche then they re the minimum ones I’d expect to be honouring this scheme.

So would I but they are not according to the Service Department at Hatfield.

For the record I think Porsche have made a right mess of this service plan launch, sign up whoever is going to be on it, tell them all how it works, make sure the service advisors are up to speed, put it on the website, sit back and wait for the punters to roll in - in that order ffs.

My 981 GTS is excluded. Why on earth woul that be? It’s just an expensive Boxster S.


This would be a challenge….. which comes first…?

Website says GTS excluded yes but click on link from a couple of pages ago and it has quoted me for CGTS and Macan GTS.
£99 and £56 respectively.
All a bit of a mess

So I found something really interesting this week, Porsche offer service plans that are fixed price and can be paid for up front or interest free over 24 months.

The cost for my Macan is £56 a month and covers 2 MOTs, 1 Major service and 1 Minor service and includes the brake fluid change as well. The cost for our 981 Cayman is £66 a month for the same package. Based on what we've paid for the last 2 services this represents a saving of more than £600 on each car so in my mind is a bit of a bargain.

The plan doesn't cover every model for every year but it's well worth doing in my opinion especially if you're keeping a Porsche warranty. I'm hoping they'll add my B25 to the list this year as the first service is due in October

For the 981 at least they’ve taken away the £69 a month option leaning just the £99 option which included the two oil changes on top of the minor and major service.

I regret not just going for it now at £69. Couldn’t see anything on the site about transferring it to a new owner if I sold it. Contacted Porsche and they took about 2 weeks to reply back with ‘ask your OPC’, and now I see the website does have a bit about it being able to be transferred on. Dammit.

So £720 for two oil changes - bargain.

It would seem Porsche owners are seen more as marks than customers.

They've now dropped the 2x oil changes from the £99 a month option. 

Every time I check the site they make it a worse deal.

So it’s now the £69 pm plan for £99 pm?

Yep.

Other than Land Rover I cannot think of any other car maker who could get away with this level of incompetence without it affecting their business.
