I have not requested a quote for this yet but I had a funny experience with the Schneider & Nelson shop down in W Long Branch recently...I asked the parts counter for a red clip to enable the alarm when the top is down and they looked at me like I was crazy and went onto say they had not heard of anything like that.

My dealer told me the $1000 30k service was basically a visual check. I asked about the plugs and he said "no, those are at 50k" I'm really confused. I think the guy is full of it.

They should have let you know and if they didn't catch that then they didn't do a very good inspection. Sorry.

Wow, talk about a ripoff. Yikes.
A guy at one of the local (non-Porsche) dealers does my alignments for about $100. He'll align to my specs, with me in the car. Very nice.

The other thing was that the rep claimed my 30K mile servicing would take all day at least six hours and that I would have to leave the car meaning I would have to camp out there for the day or rent a car to get home. Ridonkulus...
Oil change 1 hour?
air and pollen filter 15 minutes?
Spark Plugs 30 minutes with a lift?
So it takes them 4 hours to do a full inspection? hmmm....

Is there any reason not to get an alignment at a tire shop. I get my warrany work at the dealer but my local tire shop will do an alignment for $69.

It all depends on the equipment and the operator.
Some tire shops won't even set camber - they only will adjust toe!

That's because you're not including the time for driving your car to a 2 hour lunch (shows up on your bill as an "inspection drive").

Hi,
I just got a flyer from one of the local Dealers (Carousel Porsche/Audi). It's a Spring Sale and actually, it's not bad...
Batteries starting at $119.95 - too high
Tire for Boxster starting at $125 - not too bad for a Dealer
4-wheel alignment - $179.00 - Not out of site, but a tad high
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I was amazed last year when I was calling around to the local dealers in the area for a quote for the 30k mile service :
Dealer 1 $850
Dealer 2 $1499
Dealer 3 $1140
Dealer 4 $920
Dealer 5 $1000
Dealer 6 $672
Dealer 7 $1200
I also asked them each what that entailed and they all read back the same list. Obviously I went with dealer #6, but I was amazed that dealer #2 wanted $1,500 for the exact same service !
Nick
