What were you charged by the shop that performed the work?
Did you go to the Dealer or an indy shop?

Any experiences shared would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
First of all, be sure it is the cover and not something simpler to fix like a spark plug tube seal.

If it is the cam cover, removing it requires special tooling and some understanding of how Porsche seals these engines; you cannot just pull of the cover, smear some silicone on it and slap it back together again. As the cam cover and cylinder head are machined as a unit, the cover is not replaceable; so whoever works on it has to be sure to do no damage.
