Brought '04 Boxster S Special Edition in for brake fluid flush / bleed Friday, 8AM. Got car back by noon. Had ordered rear pads to install later that day. When rear tires were removed, I found that there was a huge puddle of brake fluid on the inside of each rim with a large smear mark where someone made a half-hearted attempt to do even basic clean up. This mess required brake cleaner to dissolve it and made my 'just washed' tires and rims a mess that took considerable time to clean up. Front rims are still dirty from the brake fluid. It was also splashed on the outside of the rims. Last, all bleeder valves were wet with brake fluid, not just some residue. Does Porsche not own a rag? Is this the same service a 2012 911 gets? Why not simply remove the wheels for 3 minutes each? Very sloppy work for a Porsche dealership. Makes me feel that there are definitely two teams at work (911 vs 986 and older teams) or new guys work on older cars. I really expected better treatment of my car.
