As others have said most service intervals are time &/or mileage dependant. Brake fluid should be flushed & bleed every 2 years. Alignment should be done whenever it is out of adjustment, best indicater is the tire wear pattern. Porsche has extended the change interval for serpinetine belt so you MIGHT be able to skip that.

I don't know if you have done business with this shop before, but if I was searching for a shop to take my car to, shops specializing in Itialian cars would be last on the list.

The journey to the belt is harder than the change, brake fluid? Simple on jackstands with a one time motive bleeder purchase. Sorry but the "major" service is a funny name to me, I grew up when that meant valves being adjusted or worse. These dealers make huge bucks doing the simplest stuff, I try to save their screwing of me for larger difficult items.

It is the dealer where I bought my Porsche. They have done the yearly maintenance I've done on the cue since I bought it a few years ago. They do specialize in Porsche as well. I do not doubt the work would be done correctly. I just feel like they are trying to push maintance that does not need to be done; specifically the 60K work.
