I prefer to do work myself but in San Jose, CA I have found that if you are looking for bang for your buck you go to the dealership. I have been pricing out the indys for trans, oil and brake service and none of them came close to the price at Stevens Creek Porsche. It's 280 to 350 for an oil change on a 2000 Boxster BASE at 3 of the top indys and you don't even get a loaner car. Whereas at the dealership is about $200 with my PCA discount and you get a Porsche loaner car for the day!
I have never seen this before with other brands and is a bit odd. I blame the rising costs of real estate... 
No, I DO NOT work for the dealership.

How about Competition Motors in Belleville ? see their website for info.
Toronto will be much closer but also much more expensive.
Oil & Filter plus inspection by skilled Porsche mechanics cost me 188.00 + HST = 212.44 total
this compares to 342.27 plus tax as charged to a forum member by Pfaff in Toronto.
Parts: 141.27
Labour 201.00 included re & re engine covers; my shop did not uncover the top of the engine.

This is a very good shop! They work on a lot of high end cars and they have mechanics that used to work for Porsche. While waiting for an alignment to be done, one of the mechanics came out of the back to talk to me and was surprised that it was not the previous owner. He knew the car and remembered who the owner was. Told me it was a good car and I'll be happy with it. Made me feel good at the time.
Also, I used his place for a state inspection:

Porsche Tech
Brand new to the forum and I will post a lengthy report and post pics of my 1999
Boxster later.
In the meantime here in Eastern Pennsylvania I've found a really great mechanic:
Modern Motor Works
Paul Hawthorne
Pearltsx@comcast.net
215-668-3976
Paul has done some excellent work on my car and is a wealth of knowledge.

I am brand new to this forum and to owning a Boxster. Are there any reputable Porsche shops in the Boise ID area. For that matter are there any other Boxster owners on this forum in this area. I'm seeing a lot of mid west and east.
By the way great forum!
