Ignition switch replacement

[Rob175]

After getting the labor quote from my local Porsche dealer of 2-1/2 hours to replace the switch, it makes me wonder what the heck process they use to replace the switch!?!?.......are the working from below?, are the working from the left vent area?, are the removing the entire dash and instrument panel?, are they disassembling the ENTIRE CAR? .....or as I suspect "raping me" on the labor charge?

No matter, since IF I run into too much difficulty in accessing from below, I'll probably just bite the bullet and pay my "indy" the $175 to $225 and be done with it.

**************** the dealer. 2.5 hours to replace a switch? I bet those ****************ers could bang it out in less than half an hour... maybe less. Crooks.

Why would you even go to the dealer in the first place? Yeah. Rape.

Do it yourself. It's not a valve job.

Why did I go to the dealer to get a quote? Why not? I like the rule of 3....3 quotes that is. I knew the dealer would be the most expensive and just wanted to know how expensive. Once I knew, it made my "indi" seem more reasonable. To that end, there's another "indy" that I know of but have never used but comes recommended so I might get the 3rd quote from them. Always nice to have these in my "pocket" should I need to use them. Never hurts to inquire.
