Thanks for all the prompt replies.

I normally do all my installs/maint on my own (for my other cars at least). But seeing how I no longer have a warm garage to do the work, I just left the box with the dealership.

I always thought a smokey startup meant a bad ASO? And hopefully the sychros are fine

Definitely not a schedule service, just wanted to be proactive for the winter seeing how I rarely drive my boxster.

I purchased the spinlocks from suncoast after receiving advice from some board members, the DIY instructions looked pretty simple, but my lack of time and place to install it properly (warmly at least) left me with the dealership option.

Thanks again for the input! only a few more days!

Just an oil change - expect $75 - $150
Simple scheduled service - $250 - $400

Spinlocks - not sure what you want to do here - are you buying them, having them installed or just adjusted?

Smokey on startup - they will do nothing because there's nothing wrong

2-3 lever feels offset - they will probably do nothing and say - "they're all like that" But they might adjust linkage - I would think the CPO warranty should cover it but if not expect at least $100.

So your bill will be between $75 and $500 + spinlocks.
