992 Service costs - Page 2 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

I've got a 992 C2S coming up to 4 years old and it's first major service. Has anyone had a similar service done at an OPC recently? Just wondering what you paid? I know I'll need to phone around a few dealers for prices but it would be handy to have some idea of cost beforehand. Thanks in advance....

No idea on price, but if you're calling dealers I'd ask if you can supply your own oil, it'll save you quite a bit of £££ if you can. Some dealers are open to it and I've done this a few times on other Porsches and OPC's.

If it is oil, filters, brake fluid and spark plugs it is £1,600ish.

I took my oil to my Porsche dealer last week when it was serviced. No issues at all.

A friend of mine just got his 8 year service discounted at Colchester down to £1179.00 from £1414.00, East London even though same dealer group quoted him £1832.00 This was for a 991.2 GTS, but still a massive difference in prices for the same work.

I just had mine done and paid 1550. My friend also had his done and was 1480 The parts cost is only 400. Major cost is labour at usual crazy rate Hope this helps.

Not sure where you’re based but I’m in Hampshire so striking distance from a lot of dealers and Bournemouth gave me the best price.

Great, thanks for the info guys. First price I got today was £2126 😱. I’ve got a bit of phoning around to do!!

When it gets discounted, do you worry the work is sub standard ?

Had my 992 C2S 4 year service plus MOT done at Porsche Silverstone today. Cost was an eye watering £1,700 ish. Couple of recalls done too, and super friendly service department, also included courtesy car for the day. Jon

So £2k for a service, what’s that £200-300 for parts and £1700-1800 for a couple of hours labour? I remember it wasn’t that long ago a minor (2year) was circa £450-500 and a major (4 year) about £850 And in my experience they don’t always do what you pay for and most of the time it’s only an oil change and the rest is the apprentice with a clip board checking things like depth of tyre etc but failing to change the air filter as who is going to check especially on low miles cars!

Which OPCs was this at please? For you and your mate? My 992S is nearing 4 years old so I’m watching this thread with interest!

Morning Mine was Edinburgh and my friend Guildford. Ironic that Surrey was cheaper than Edinburgh. Go figure 🤪

Definitely helpful for me guys. I’m just west of London so Guildford could be really good. Thanks again for the info

Seems a bit if a trend since Covid of manufacturers having your pants down on service costs. My Mercedes diesel pick up is over £1000 for it's 2nd service - bonkers. I remember a few years ago you could service a Porsche for well under a grand, and I actually think Porsche will shoot themselves in the foot with this level of ownership costs. It's not justified and doesn't get me wanting another.

Many Porsches owned and never paid over 1k for a service but the last gt3 service was over 2k ,it’s an utter pee take and has nothing to do with anything other than greed .

A standard 992 service including oil change and filters with an inspection is around £350+VAT at my local centre. I have had 3 of them. They are supposed to be annually or at 20k. The major service was at least 4 hours, and the spark plugs are a right fiddle with little room between the engine and the frame to get at the coil packs. They seem to flush the brake fluid out with loads of new and also did the wiper blades, cabin and air filters washer fluid etc. Interestingly at 50,000 miles, my brakes discs are still OK with only light scoring and the pads at only 50% worn. Maybe I am a wuss. So far- for a car that has been timed at 3.5 seconds to 60 mph and that often achieves 34mpg and doesn't seem to depreciate much, the whole ownership cost has been better than just about anything else I have owned. Even tyres have been pretty good at an average of £1k a set. They have lasted 15-20,000 miles.

I have a 992 GTS coming up for its first service (two years, just over 7,000m) next month and so I have tried West London, Reading and High Wycombe for quotes. Quotes are for the two year minor inc oils and filter, brake fluid and to lubricate sunroof (I have the glass roof which is apparently lubed every two years) and all inc VAT. They have come in at £1,268, £1,198 and £1,118 respectively.

That cost is exorbitant for a minor service for a 2-year-old vehicle. As I recall, Porsche GB owns the dealerships in Reading, West London, and Guildford, which generally means their prices are on the higher side. I've visited Brooklands 2-3 times for service. On one occasion, they accidentally disconnected a vacuum pipe, resulting in a loss of power when I tried to accelerate 10 miles down the road. This incident does raise some concerns about their expertise, but their service charges were significantly lower than those at Reading. PS - never heard of a sunroof lube having a material impact on the price of a service, only Porsche eh! Edited by markda on Wednesday 14th February 17:37

The sunroof lube is jokes. Every two years or 20,000m and is £122 inc VAT. 🤦🏻‍♂️
