I concur.

Had to replace axle boots on both sides. He ('Rick') at Laylands quoted prices to either repair the originals or to totally replace the axles, the replacement cost actually being less than the repair cost. Seemed like a no-brainer, I opted to replace.

Then I started asking questions I should have asked right off the bat, especially who manufactured the axles. Needless to say, it wasn't Porsche. It was some Chinese company--Rick told me he had had good luck with them for years, but I was uncomfortable with the idea of giving up the OEM Porsche axles for those, but by now they had already been ordered and had arrived. I expressed my concern and offered to pay shipping to send the Chinese ones back, but he said "Nope, don't worry about it." I really expected him to give me a hard time about changing my mind at that point. He didn't, not at all.

They did a good job at a reasonable rate. I recommend them.

I have a 07 base that just hit 20K. Here's what worked for me:
I used a local Goodyear shop that I have trusted with all my American sedans for 15 years to change the oil and replace the brake fluid at about 15K miles. I bring in all the parts and he charges me very modest labor ($20 oil change, $75 brake fluid change).
I replaced the cabin and air filters myself at about 15K miles.
At 20K miles I took the car to a local indy (Fischer in Barrington) who did the rest (road test, read out fault memory, all the visual checks) for about an hour of labor time. Rick Fischer was a great guy who gave me several suggestions regarding brake and tire wear without any big sales pitch.
Total cost was about $350 all parts and labor. Dealership wanted $900

Here is something you dont want to overlook. your serpentine belt. depending on how hard you drive your car you might want to replace it between 40-50k . the belt only costs $10.00 , I do my own so I dont know what the mech will charge you but it cant be much, push both your seats forward, remove carpet remove 8 ors 10mm bolt and 2 nuts and there is your belt - a 24mm box wrench and you can release the tensioner and install the belt. my 2c
