I found a local place (in metro Atlanta) that wants about $500 for the service. Seems a bit high, but wondering if that's inline with what others have paid. This is a for a 14 year old Boxster.

Indies around here charge $125 or more an hour. How long do you think the service would take? A PPI runs $200 or more, replacing the oil and filter ain't cheap. If you want stuff like new coolant & brake fluid, that ain't cheap. I'd opt for a new serpentine belt, too. Not to mention trans fluid or lube.
You can probably do all the stuff in your driveway Gonna require jacking the car up enough to be able to crawl under. And removing all 4 wheels.
BTW, so it's a 14 year old car? So what? They don't give any breaks for old cars, you know.
Good luck, be sure to shop around.
