I have done the easy stuff like oil changes, filter changes etc.

As for most of everything else, I have gone to a couple of indy shops. First one wants to remove the engine and install new ims etc while in there. The second one wants to fix the cam deviation without removing the engine of the car.

OP this is a good question.

depends on problem. oil change i buy oil/filter and bring it to a local shop.

anything major, not yet(knock on wood), i have two german mechanics that only service volks/porsches. i.e. water tank. labor $100

my dealer couldn't even align my new hood. it was a few millimeters above the side panel on one side and lower on the other side and attempts to tell me this is normal.
