The Macan's in for its first service (24 months). All looking good on the video report the OPC sent me
They've suggested : Checking, modifying and clearing all drains. Bulkhead and Sunroof for any debris to prevent blockage or water ingress (£562)
My car's kept in a garage so whilst it obviously gets wet when it rains it should in theory accumulate too much debris, so my inclination is to pass, esp given the cost - however am mindful of the many postings here about how the pano roof drains can get blocked.
I assume the above isn't a crazy pov to take?
They've also suggested an air con service. It's working just fine so that's a definite no.
Thanks everyone.

Brooklands quoted £100 to check/clean on my first service whilst my own OPC didnt even mention it back in Jan this year.
2021 Turbo (Collected 11/21) | Dolomite Silver | Half Garnet Red Leather | Pano | 18 Way Seats | PASM + Air | PTVP | Sports Chrono | PSP | PSE | 21" 911 Turbo Wheels | Gloss Black Trims | Bose
My car's now had 3 services, at two different OPCs, and every time I've been told they need to check/clear the roof drains and "service" the aircon. Every time I've declined. At the last service, I also told them I didn't want them to put an overpriced litre of Mobil ! in the boot, and nor did I want a bottle of Porsche windscreen additive, and these two items shaved around £30 off the bill.
Macan S collected 4 Dec 2017 - Jet Black, 20" SportDesign, Agate/Pebble, 18-way, Pano roof, Bi-Xenons with PDLS, Surround View, PASM, PS+, spare wheel, towbar.

I was told £120 when I enquired, but i recall that was just a check, not a clean.
How do they check the drains? I guess they pour some water into the sunroof surround and check it comes out of the drains.
But at £562 your OPC are assuming work is needed, not just a check. That smacks of over zealous selling. I would delve further and if it seems a scam confront the DP.
Reminds me of our BMW dealer phoning during a service and saying "we noticed your tracking needs checking and adjusting" and me telling them I'd had it done a week earlier. Embarrassing for them. BUT... then they phoned again and said we noticed your wheels could do with reconditioning... "s*d off!!"
I imagined the service manager that morning getting all the service staff together and saying "Right! We need an extra push to £30,000 of unnecessary work invoiced today or else. Jump to it you bast**ds!!

What about check and no clearance necessary? £561?
It’s outrageous and an Indy would do it for £50…

They know how to charge that's for sure! Anyway, thanks everyone for the answers I was guessing I'd get. Will confirm that it's a no. Cheers
