I just went to Circle Porsche of Long Beach, CA for my 30k service. They are a friendly shop and dealer. I live closer to Newport Auto Center / Porsche, but that is like a cavernous Porsche Mall and is a little too showy. The Circle Porsche is more of a hole in the wall with difficult parking and a small showroom, yet they seem to keep turning over the Carerra GTs.

I was quoted $699 and with tax it came to $727.65. Also the every-two-years brake flush service was quoted at $199 but I did not go for it yet.

The service completed was according to requirements. I got the list of checks and it matched my owners manual, I won't go into the details. Parts were
Alum seal ring 0.26
Oil Filter Insert 20.82
Oil Mobil 1 0W40 10x7.76
Pollen Filter 74.78
Window wash fluid 5.53
Parts wash 8.95 ???
Air cleaner cartridge 40.84

Additional service was according to my list of nags:
Sticky tiptronic switch : was lubricated
Broken windstop clip : was replaced
Curious airbag light: was explained as normal... included diagnosis, remove instrument cluster, cleaned terminals, recalibrate fuel level sender while in cluster
Door rattle: was fixed
seat belt beginning to fray: needs district manager review
2nd gear hesitation at 2500rpm: they didn't understand it, but I demonstrated it, the service rep will call HQ and ask about it. (There is another post on the hesitation if you search on tiptronic tranny hesitation)

Wash and vacuum!

Overall I was very pleased!!
