I have yet to go to the dealer for service but I will go for parts sometimes. Living in Canada means paying through the nose for shipping/duties/brokerage fees for a $100 part which one might order through ECS, or Pelican, or other US based suppliers. The parts guys at Prestige Porsche are helpful and friendly, but really on the older cars, it's just a matter of $ and sense!
