I wouldn't touch a warranty other than Porsches. I don't use them for consumables like brakes and tyres though. My parts department always give me a decent price on brakes which I fit myself and I buy N0/N2 rated tyres online, it helps take the sting out of OPC service costs.

Thank you all for your perspective.

One other question.... I presume the 116 point check is obligatory and extra?

I’m kinda hoping that Porsche might look kindly on the fact that for obvious reasons the previous 12 months mileage has been particularly meagre. But I’m not holding my breath.

But some room for negotiation maybe.

I had to pay for the 111 point check but have read some others haven't. Don't think it is charged if included with a service.

For (I think) £60 Edinburgh offered me this and it includes £40 off the 111 point check and 10% off parts and labour

Thanks interesting. And looks like a pan-OPC scheme. Many thanks.

Was contacted today by my local Porsche garage asking was I interested in extending the warranty and was told they no longer charge for the 111 point check.

Well, that’s a surprise. I wonder, though, if it applies to all OPCs.

Slightly off topic but is the “service” offered to you by OPC Edinburgh widely available? Does it have a name so I can ask if my local OPC provides? Cheers

Don't know. they called it 'Exclusive Customer'. Belong to Sytner Group and have OPCs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leicester, Mid Sussex, Silverstone and Solihull.

It might just be Sytner but if you are near one of their dealerships it would be interesting to know

I’m with Tewkesbury which is another Sytner so I will be asking the question.
