I'm new to the Porsche warranty service world, the '03 Boxster I recently bought is under warranty until the end of the year. My M3 has been serviced at an independent shop for years ($90/hr), and my 914 is serviced at a shop with a low labor rate ($50/hr), but they don't have the latest Porsche diagnostic stuff, so there's a limit to what they can do.

I was talking with my dealer (Scottsdale Porsche) yesterday about a non-warranty install, and they quoted me $190 for 1.5 hours of labor - $127 / hr. Is that the going rate these days?

Yeah, it's cheaper than a lawyer's rate, I know, and my stockbroker recently tried to charge me for services that would have worked out to about $350/hr, so I guess I shouldn't complain.....
