I get having a lot of money, not a lot of time (props!), but for me it's more about peace of mind knowing I did the work and it was done right, and not feeling like I got bent over at the end of the day.

Did they check your muffler bearings?

I like to wrench but would rather take a high speed run to Sedona on my days off than wrench on my car. When I retire that might change. I feel the dealer did a great job. The car runs fantastic and they let me drive a cayman loaner for 8 days. They actually did other work for free that I did not list.

Would have never paid as much 10 years ago. And won't 10 years from now. But today it is best for me. I merely listed the labor and parts prices as a current point of reference for others contemplating dealer or indie service.

I assure you, they did nothing for free... You have a lot of money so it may feel good not to worry have to worry about it, but you got Ned Beatty'd on this one, even if you value your 8 day Cayman rental at $100 a day.

Oh and next time you need a key come here first, I'm sure someone would have pointed you here.

Most Indy garages would have been $2000 or less for the services you posted.
