I am also not a fan of Huntington Porsche. Their parts dept is not very knowledgable and the service is over priced.

First, they marked me up 60% on the oil for my oil change. They charged me $10/qt for Mobil 1 0W-40 when I can buy it at Walmart for $5.97/qt. And I'm sure they get it cheaper buying in volume. They also charged me $150 for the labor on the oil change which is definitely excessive.

I also had them put new tires on the car while they were working on it and they charged me $420 for labor to mount and balance my tires? They said they charge $100 per tire "because they have to use the special Road Force Balancing machine".

Then they said I needed the Bi annual brake flush. So I said O.K. figuring they had access to my cars service history. They did the brake flush and charged me $196 for labor plus the cost of the fluid. I later found my receipt for service in California and the Porsche dealer there had done the brake flush only a year earlier and only charged me $86 for labor. So Huntngton not only did an unnecesary brake flush but they also charged me $110 more than my dealer in SoCal.

I am taking my Boxster to LynMor Motor Sports in Huntington from now on. They are a Porsche tuner specialist. They build racing Porsche's as well so they are very experienced with performance mods if you are so inclined.

Welcome to Long Island. By now you know how expensive things are here. Taxes are high, fuel is expensive, Porsche service in the stratosphere. I guess the way to look at it is that at the end of the day you still have your Boxster. All dealers are expensive so if you want to keep your warranty or car in tip top shape it will cost you. The license plate should read instead of NY Empire State,NY Taxman will get ya 1 for you 19 for me
