Maintenance advice on my first 911 !

[tobyintheuk]

Hi

I have just purchased my first 911 (1998 996) - having chopped in my Lotus Esprit Turbo.

My 911 needs a service (48k including polly belt and brake fluid) as well as new disks and pads on the back.

I am suprised that the service doesn't appear to be any cheaper at a specialists????, so I may as well get it done at official porsche? (£560 all in and I get an "official" stamp)

However porsche quoted my £564 for the rear disks & pads, and specialist quoted me £327 !! (using official porsche parts??!!)

JZMachtech is the nearest specialist to me. Has anyone got any experience of them?

Ok - That's good enough for me. It's booked in on Wednesday !
