How much should I expect for a 30k service on 996 turbo? any recommendation indy shops?

 

I just had my plugs and coils changed and it ran me close to a grand$-

 

I had the 30 K service done on my 05 Turbo S about 2 months ago - total was about $1850 at the dealer(car is still under factory warranty). They did plugs, filters, oil change, wiper blades etc. They did not do coil packs - not required at 30K.

 

Since you have a GT700 you might consider using a cooler plug than the stock plug. Maybe like a Denso Double Platinum. I upgraded coils too but I dont think that is mandatory.

 

You do know that (a) you got screwed, and (b) you can have maintenance done anywhere, or do it yourself, and not loose warranty coverage...

 

It does sound awfully excessive for plugs, fluids, filters, bolt checks, etc. For that price, I'd like tires and a new drive belt too.

 

Thanks guys!!
Is there a difference between Denso PK20-PR8 OR DENSO PK20PR-P8? different model numbers.

 

These are what EVOMS recommended for my GT700:
Denso PK20PR-P8

 

Ya, I guess there was a typo in the email they sent me, regardless I appreciate it. Just ordered!!

 

If you have not done already. I would replace coils too with at least OEM units.

 

recommended coils and plugs for an 03 turbo with a tune? Are the stock beru coils and plugs ok?

 

anyone know? I can get a screaming deal on the OEM parts, but want to make sure thats the best way to go. Thanks.

 

ouch!

 

I guess you've got to remember that with auto sales down, the service departments are expected to pick up as much slack as they can....I won't let my wife take the car in for service....the service rep alwyas ends up talking her into a bunch of extra crap that's absolutely not called for. One time she came back with an estimate of $680 for "recommended service" and I hot footed it down to the dealership, grabbed the service manager and came back with an estimate of $140....which they ended up doing. $1850 for what you got was (being politically sensitive here)...just a tad bit on the high side.

 

i vote for the $140. You gotta do the priceline bargining like captain Kirk.
