1st Service Completed - 06' - 987

[Quickurt]

I'm at 20,600 on my '06. It is a Porsche Certified car and the first 20K maintenance was done as part of the certification process at 10,200, so it's not due any maintenance until 30k, or Oct. 2009, whichever comes first. I took it in at 20k becasue I just have a hard time with running any oil 20k miles and was almost insulted by the service department telling me I was foolish for not trusting Porsche service intervals. I said okay, Porsche is certifying this car to 100k miles so if they don't want me putting new Mobil1 and filters in it every 10k, so be it.
My Mazda gets oil every 5k (Mobil1 also - 6 qts.) and maintenece at 15k and 30k intervals. It feels "funny" with a Porsche you don't spend more money on than a Mazda......

$225 for the the service is dirt cheap! I'm too lazy to check but I think the 20K runs closer to 4-500 at the illinois dealers....now if I get a lot of no ways, I'll go get the invoice and double check

That sounds cheap to me too. I was under the impression that I'd have to have my car serviced after a year for around $500. Mine is a daily driver though.

That's what I've been told to expect for the standard 20k maintenance.

This does sound cheap, and reading this post made me dig out the first service the previous owner of my 05S did at around 17k. The receipt states the 20k service performed = $465, plus cabin air filter ($82.39) and air filter insert ($46.74). Out the door with labor, taxes, etc. = $909.12 courtesy of Beverly Hills Porsche.
Sounds like you got a good deal.

The original post said " changed oil and filter, checked air and cabin filters (both were OK and not replaced), tire pressure and other basic stuff". The two filters cost (your figures) $130 +. Thats why yours probably cost so much. I do all my own maintenance so I see whats going on under the hood. Personally, I replaced the air filter with a K&N. I like the idea of oil impregnated cotton to trap dust & dirt than dry paper.

I read your post again and noticed where you have your car serviced, Beverly Hills Porsche! Hell, they'll probably send me a bill for just saying their name.
