Well they got little out of me I’m pleased to say:
660 for 4 year service
160 for brake fluid (rip off)
72 for new tyre sealant kit as had expired (probably should have bought online)
20 for hire car for two days
Rejected the air con change, it works fine and car has done 4000 miles in two years
Rejected new front brake discs, plenty of life
Rejected new tyres, bought much cheaper elsewhere
Rejected paying for pano roof drain clearance, they did FOC
Small victories but it shouldn’t be a battle. Standard MO seems to be “can afford a Porsche, they will bend over without question”
Shame
May i ask - which Porsche Centre did you go to?
I went to East London for service once and asked for pano roof to be cleared and they did it free without questions asked. But would not update my sat nav because they believe there wasnt an updated version - this was in 2019.
2nd service i went to Brooklands - i asked for Pano-roof to be cleared and they said they have to charge me - so thankyou - but no thankyou!! - £299 for checking and clearing.
The reason i went to Brooklands was because i thought that they could update my sat nav - because im still running on a 2016/17 map.
However, they requested for a charge of £550 for the update - again thanks - but no thanks!!
I also asked them to clear my water sprayer for my wipers - and adjust it so its shooting at the windscreen rather than onto my Pano-Roof.
They said its was done when i collected my car - but a day after collecting - when i had to use the water sprayer on the motorway - i realise it was exactly the same!!! Spraying high into the air.
They asked me to change the brake pads and disk because it was 90% worn - I told them that i wait for the lights to come on - 3000mile after - lights came on once and now its not on - i assume that the lights should stay on if its really low. Already looking into buying the parts myself and getting local mechanic to install for me.
They also told me that theres a slight oil leak found - and they would need my car for 1 week to check and amend - this will be part of warranty. Planning to deal with this at later stage since i have extended my warranty.
