Would you take your Cayenne (especially the new ones...2008) to your dealer or local reputable shop (the shop that has been dealing with Porsche only for 20+ years) for check up/problems/oil change??? This is the shop that's well-known in local Porsche/Audi community...

Dealer just charges way too much compared to the shop... any Pros (besides saving money) & Cons you see if I take it to the local shop?

Thanks...

 

Dealer doesn't cover the work you want under warranty?

Regardless it's a Cayenne not a GT2, take it where ever.

 

LOL...forgot about warranty. Not that it has problems now but I asked just in case.

Mainly I meant 'maintenance' wise...thanks!

 

I think it depends on how much you trust/respect your local dealer and local reputable shop. I mean here in LA there are many great dealers, and great after market shops. While my car is still under warranty and assuming it is not a “major” service/procedure, I’d just take it to the dealer. That being said I have gone to a different service center from where I purchased my car since the dealer I purchased my car from does not have the greatest service reputation.

Not saying the Cayenne isn’t a great car, but I think I would be far more picky about who works on my car if I were driving a GT2 or Carrera GT you know?
