Brake fluid change cost in the UK

[mohitos]

Hi there,

My car is due a brake fluid change (66 plate GTS) and my usual OPC is quoting £160 inc VAT. Seems a bit much to me and I recall having paid £99 previously on other Porsches. Would be great to hear what others have been charged

I paid £95 in May 2019. Perhaps you can contact a couple of other OPcs for a BFC quote as a reference.

I paid £118 inc. VAT two weeks ago at Porsche Guilford.

If it’s out or your not concerned about any extended warranties ATS £40

[gasgas1]

less than £6, buy set of testing slips to see if it really needs changing.

Thanks for the replies - that gives me a decent idea. The car is under extended warranty so I have to keep it in the network really.

Warranty still good as long as work done at a VAT registered garage and original parts used.

Just had a quote from usual OPC for my Macan's first service. The service was about the price I expected (July 2023 £600 including VAT). However the Brake fluid service was a silly price of £280. So I have bought a moisture content checker and will decide what to do when I get the result of the test. If the moisture level is too high then I will look at a good specialist company to do the fluid flush etc. Even if the result is good I will get it changed at the following service in 2 years.
My Porsche history is 1). Almost bought 356 many years ago - what a £ mistake, 2) almost paid for restoration of 912 - restorers crooks, 3) New Cayman -fantastic but wife did not like it, 4)new Macan kept for 6 years and got a v good price with WBAC 2 years ago - which went to Auction and was bought by an OPC in the midlands and added 8K to price and 4) another new Macan , 5) will I get or be able to afford an EV Macan - probably not.

£280 for brake fluid change, absolute rip off!
