45k mi Service

Thought this might be helpful to some of you here in the Chicagoland area...

I'm getting ready to hit the 45k miles mark so I called around to see what the dealers are charging for service :

$651.00 Joe Rizza
$599.00 Loeber Motors
$560.00 Motor Werks
$625.00 Napleton Westmont
$675.00 Napleton Rockford
$815.00 Porsche Exchange

Not quite as varied as what I was quoted for the 30k last year :

New Owner – Yeah !

( I still can't believe how much The Porsche Exchange in Highland Park charges for service - I guess their customers are made of money )

Lucky for me Motor Werks is right next to my office so I'll probably set something up for next week...

Nick

Good stuff, Nick. A few phone calls saved you a nice amount.

I'm at 43k right now so it looks like I'll be getting my 45 done in the next month or so.

Where is Loeber Motors and where is Motor Werks?

Do it yourself, what's so hard about the 45k?

Thanks. Barrington it is.

I'm going to check my manual and see what all is in the 45k service. Maybe Paul is right and I can do it myself.

It's basically the same as the 15K. Oil, oil filter, cabin filter, engine air filter, are the major items. This assumes you had the brake fluid replaced at 30K/2 years.

The parts are less than $100 if you do some shopping.
