FWIW, I do my own work as well now. I just took it in to the Porsche dealer for the first oil change and a "once over" look by the mechanic. Not that it helped much since a short time later I had to replace the water pump.
But if you do not use a Porsche dealer for parts, who do you use? Pelican Parts or someone else?
Truthfully, my local dealer was actually cheaper than both Pelican Parts and Suncoast Parts with my PCA discount. Only time they are not - that I have checked - is when I use a third party alternative - like my last MAF from Pelican Parts.
Also, if I could find a good Porsche independent out here, I'd use one. But I can't seem to find a single one in the Coachella Valley. Outside of it sure, but I really don't want to drive 60-90 minutes away unless I absolutely have too.
