60K Dealer Maintenance??

Would you let a Porsche dealership do 60K on your Boxster?

note: there are no reviews (good or bad) on the performance of said dealership.

I'd do it myself and save a bundle and know it was done right. But that's just me...

Depends on how much time you have on your hands, how much the dealer charges (usually too much) and how much money you have burning a hole in your pocket. The stuff involved isn't terribly difficult, and if you haven't done a lot of mechanical stuff, there's pretty good DIY material available, here and elsewhere.

Another option: Have someone other than the stealership do it. Don't know where in Virginia you are, but you might check out:

Ok,

I left out some information: reason for the maintenance.

I could definitely do the job myself. The problem is it won't show on a carfax and certified by a Porsche dealership.

the car is for sale. Seems people want to see all the maintenance levels done before they buy.

I don't trust a dealership. They could easily break something on purpose to cause major future damage. that was my concerns. I know they will charge un-godly amounts of $$ to do the damn easy job.
