Cost of 60k mile service and what should be done?
#3
I can't remember what I paid but after running the Alcan with a slightly over-loaded trailer, had to do spark plugs, air filters and oil change. Then there was one broken ignition coil. Finally, the serpentine belt was squeeking. Funny thing is deal said it should be replaced at 70,000 miles while there is no mention of this in the service manual.

If you want to maintain it "by the book", you should perform a Major Maintenance. Porsche recommends a major maintenance at 40k and 80k OR every 4 years. At the dealer, expect around $1,200.
There is also other time-dependent maintenance such as changing the brake fluid every 2 years, replacing the tire sealant every 4 years (if applicable), Checking the TPMS after 4 years (if applicable).
If you want to ignore Time-dependent maintenance, a 60k mile service is considered Minor Maintenance. From the dealer, expect around $200 to $250. Replacing the coils and plugs is not required. Note Porsche just extended the warranty for coil replacement.
This is an excerpt from the Cayenne (9PA) Technical Manual. For the 60k service:
Diagnostic system: read out fault memory
Vehicle underside and engine compartment: visual inspection for leaks (oils and other fluids); engine compartment: visual inspection for damage; underside panels: visual inspection for completeness, installation and damage
Change engine oil and oil filter
Check drive belt
Radiators and air inlets: visual inspection for external contamination and blockage; check coolant level
Brake system: visual inspection of the brake pads and brake discs for wear
Brake hoses and lines: visual inspection for damage, routing and corrosion
Drive shafts: visual inspection of the boots for leaks and damage
Front cardan shaft: visual inspection of rolling lobe for damage
Rear cardan shaft: visual inspection of centre bearing for damage
Exterior of tyres and spare wheel: check condition and tyre pressure
Windscreen wiper/washer system, headlight washer: check operation, fluid level and nozzle settings, pay attention to antifreeze protection in winter months; check wiper blades
All headlights: check adjustment. Horn: check operation
Battery and vent hose: check condition
Test drive: remote control, front seats, foot and parking brakes (also actuation travel), engine, clutch, steering, transmission, ParkAssist, automatic speed control, PSM switch, heating, air-conditioning system and instruments: check operation
Oils, fluids: visual inspection for leaks

Thanks for the input. My indy shop initially charged $1200 and I provided the plugs and coils, but when I pointed out I provided ~$400 in parts, they corrected the invoice.
