$200 is more than fair. $380 no way.
My dealer charges $280 to balance 4 wheels.
We should post prices that are fair with the dealers name to try and give them service. The rip off dealers that charge crazy prices should be listed in another post. Let's be positive.

Croly Hap that is a lot of money! My cost for the first service on my TTS was $225. Dunno if there is any difference between this for a 991 vs 991 Turbo, but I would think mine'd be more expensive. Makes me appreciate my Atlanta Porsche Dealer's service pricing structure.

I do most maintenance myself, have a log book with dates, materials used and receipts for materials.
29k, so far I do oil changes, filters, belt, PS+PB fluids..and coolant refresh,9 yr old car. This is all DIY and save a boatload of $$$

I "should" because I want to change the oil every 5000 miles. That's why. You may do whatever you want with your car.

How many quarts in a 3.4. Have heard a lot of different things.
Pocket change my Maserati is $1900 , Ferrari 612 was about as much. These cars are a bargain when visiting the stealer

Mine 3.8 Carrera S and Turbo S are at 7.9 quarts with oil filter. I would check manual, but I assume that the 3.4 is the same.

I would stop into Rockville and be certain that you got the correct quote - it seems totally out of whack. There are at least 3 other dealers nearby so unless they are conspiring to rip everybody off I can't imagine that the other dealers would give a quote like that.

A big part of the problem concerning high service costs may be related to how service advisors are compensated. As they are paid in part on the basis of total billings, it's in their (and their wallet's) best interests to maximize each bill.
