Garage
Had a broken spring on one of my 928's.. simple enough to repair.. IF you can get your hands between the engine block and the engine bay sidewall. !!

A couple of months ago, due to a leaky steering rack i decided to pull the complete front suspenasion strip it down and rebuild it. The springs are no great issue to do.. just use a good quality spring compressor..

If your garage removes the front shocks, it *will* need to have alignment as this is where the camber for the front wheels are set.

As Timco says.. get yourself a good quality low profile floor jack, axle stands socket and spanners.. and download a copy of the workshop manual and porsche parts catalogue.

Not only will you save a bunch, you'll be more aware of your boxster, what needs maintenance and what doesnt. and work done will be to the standards you desire, not to a price to get it back out the door for the customer.
