it's a bit away. just starting to do some research.
how much have you paid at the dealer vs. independent shop?

For my V6 i paid 320 CDN at the dealership... oil change alone was 270 and 80 for the inspection... its pretty useless really. I shouldn't have wasted my time - they did find that one of the horns wasn't working and changed that. its really loud now!

wow! that is really not bad.
yeah dealer wants 300$ for oil change.
so mine will be probably like around 500$.
kewl. thanks!

$300 for just oil change? I thought was $200 around right? I will ask my wife tonight. Last time she went to the dealer but I wasn't sure how much she paid, I think is below $300.

Just got my 05Cs 20k service done @ sonnen porsche asking $400 and only $185 for just the oil change. ask for john service manager great service.

I just got my 20k done. It cost me 625.

Peter-

wow pay too much sorry to hear, are you in the bayarea.? i can even get you 10% for first time customer. again sonnenporsche in mill valley ca

one local dealer wants 995$ in VA.
u guys have it cheap. :-(

I wonder if different dealers do different things. Because all mine did was oil/filter change + inspection. If that's the case.. don't waste your time, do only the oil change....Unless of course you feel something is wrong with the car. Like I said, all they found was a broken horn... Other then that, they made sure my 22's were running 32psi's again !! I had to go inflate them back to 40/42psi's at a cost of 50cents and get my hands dirty right after!
My conclusion... waste of time and money... (This was for my Cayenne V6... it may differ with the CS... please check before taking advice - fine print)

i called them, same ****.
they just charge more.
oil change and inspection to make sure all is well.

Raja

skip it.....

Wow, that is way too much. My friend did his 05 Turbo last month and it cost $600 around. All they done were just oil change and inspection. I think I will just get oil change when the 20K service comes.

don't you need to get the computer reset???

I Just had all the 20K and 2 year service done, it came to about $600. That included oil change, inspections and a brake fluid flush (every 2 years required if you want to maintain warranty).

sounds good...i was afriad it'll be like 1k when my service is up
