Service recommendation in Houston?
 
My 2016 Boxster S is due for its 2-year service. I've put only 1,500 miles on it since the 1-year service, and the current odometer is 11k.

All suggestions are welcome, whether a dealer or independent. I've requested estimates from three local dealers and, so far, only one has responded @ $895.

For what's basically an oil change?

Thanks,

Mike

sooooooo........
 
.......you bought a 2016 Boxster S and you want to go cheap on the one year service?

Really?

Thats what?....a $75,000 car?

And you won't spend $895 for an annual service?

REALLY?

If you bought a Learjet, would you spend the money to service it?

Come on, man!!!!

:ah::ah:

if there was any significant maintenance, your response might make sense. But, $895 for oil + filter, air filter, cabin filter, plus a few minutes to check everything out, is excessive, in my opinion.

This is, maybe, $200 in parts and oil, and under 2 hours of labor. Almost everything in the 'check operation' category would be things even a slightly involved driver would be on top of - lights, wipers, tire pressure, washer fluid. Undercarriage inspection is no big deal when car is on the lift for oil and filter.

Of course, they probably include a desultory car wash and vacuum the interior.

So....
 
....Jack her up and change the oil yourself.

How is this a "thing"?
