ugh..those must be STEALership prices. No way...its almost $1000 or $1100 for the 30k service!

Same as daytrader I think I paid $600 and I think mine was a little more comprehensive as well!

Where did you go for your service?

I did mine at the Downtown LA dealership--it was around $900, but I had a broken starter, so the total cost was around $2500 (yikes!)
I'd really prefer a good indie near Pasadena to take care of my car (I don't like Rusnak very much). Thanks.

You're in luck my friend, both me and Asian Image go to Pcars in Monterey Park for the service. Pcars is a great group of Porsche owners here in So. Cal. They do everything for their members. Join in and get great service and excellent price. They have monthly GTG for tech. support, modification, upgrade, wheel service.

If you have time later on today, come on by starting at 6 PM. Today is monthly GTG. Get to know all of us.
