It has only one prior service done before it. My car is about 6000 miles(swedish). My Porsche dealer quoted me 1800GBP for it :shock:

Can I take it somewhere else for a lesser price? Can a normal shop do it right?

I don't think it will affect resale value that much..but I don't know.

For £1800 you could drive to the closest ferry terminal, get the boat across to the UK, overnight in a fancy hotel, get the car services with a UK dealer and still have change!

Swedish miles are difficult for us imperialists . One Swedish mile = 10km so 6000 Swedish miles is 60000 km, close enough to 40000 miles. Still expensive though!

I was assuming KM (never heard if Swedish miles - sorry😳)

But yes, major 40 000 mile service in the UK is well under half what the OP quoted

Sounds like a price you would pay in Stockholm? There are some 10 dealers in Sweden are they all using the same pricing? What is included in the price it may be that there are more elements than we have in the U.K. Worth checking and maybe a drive to another dealer if the price makes the trip worth it. finally Is your car still under warranty, if not a suitable specialist would be cheaper.

You learn something every day - I had never heard of the Swedish mile. And as Paul says, get the ferry to the UK and have it serviced here!
