The parts to change the WP (pierburg) including a new thermostat and coolant is less than $350

if you have basic skills, it is not that difficult an DIY

$1100 is crazy expensive, even if they use a Porsche branded WP, which BTW is a Pierburg WP

60K service @ $1200 is also super expensive.. IIRC, Its plugs, oil, tubes, air and cabin and serp belt, about $250 in parts maybe

If it was me, I would get some quotes from other shops

What tires? , check out TireRack
$240 is a bit high for an alignment unless it is a track or string alignment
Its not rocket science to align a Boxster. Any good tire shop can do it. Most are $100 or less. Hell Firestone does a lifetime alignment for around $125 and you can get it done as often as you like
