1. variable period oil and filter change with valvoline c20 approved oil and Mann filters which meet block exemption rules and service indicator reset at local NTS for £98.
2. brake fluid change at 2 years for £40 at Halfords.
3. mann charcoal pollen filter change at 2 years for £35 at Halfords.
4. 30 point visual inspection at 2 years as per porsche schedule for £30 at Halfords.
Note opc quoted c. £440 oil and £740 2 year inc oil. Above shows 98v440 and 203v742 while maintaining warranty and with more frequent oil changes!
All work this is documented and covered by vat invoice and therefore satisfies block exemption and warranty requirements.
I have personal experience using NTS with oil change on our mini cooper f56 which was excellent. For these prices I would consider an annual/10000mile oil change as per porsche USA maintenance schedules as preferable and cost effective. What are others thoughts? Hope this is useful for your consideration when talking to opc re quoted costs
I will explore other options with local indy as well as previously suggested.
I have found that OPCs are often willing to knock a bit off, when presented with a lower quote from a competitor, but don’t think they’d get anywhere near the prices above, some of which are virtually loss-leaders.
Cheers,
