Do you service your Porsche at the dealer?

So far all work in my garage by me. I bought this car with that expectation. Have only gone to the local dealer on Sundays to look at the new shiny bobbles. I did call them once to see if they had a relay in stock, they didn't, I would have to order, take 5 days. I ordered from Pelican.

That's the hardest part about this car, getting anything. I can get oil and filters and belts locally, that's it.

I do everything I can do myself and take it to an indie when its too difficult for me. Never to the dealership.

+1 Have a local indie who specializes in the breed.

Same here - only had my car for a month, but so far I've been able to do everything (and there has been a number of things) myself. Seems that it's not a terribly difficult car to work on, its actually less annoying than the VW Jetta I had years ago.

You're right on the parts availability - local auto parts stores don't have much on hand, so sometimes the car needs to stay in the garage for a few days while I wait for things to ship.
