Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Brought the car in for the dealer to see why the front end feels kinda squirmy/suirrelly over rough pavement. (I just changed wheels from 18" turbos with snow tires to 18" carreras with Pirellis. No squirm with winter setup) Told them to check the alignment (as per suggestions of board members). They told me if they have to align all wheels it will cost $450. Is it me, or is that INSANE!?!?
Anyone in NYC area know of a dealership that has normal prices? I took it to South Shore Porsche on L.I., since its near my parents house.
01 C4 CAB NYC. I was beginning to think I was the only one who pays too much. I had four tires (I purchased from Tire Rack) mounted, balanced and a four wheel alignment for $250.00. In NC for comparison.
ARGH!!! They aren't doing SQUAT with mounting or balancing! The tires are on the rims, and they are balanced and on the car... Bastids... I told them to call me before they do anything. So if it needs an alignment I'll see if they'll come down in price...
01 C4 Cab NYC - you may want to check out Paul Miller Porsche @ Parsippany NJ - there service is very good, the only negative is they don't offer a loaner if you did not buy the car from them - but as far as their service fees there not a rip off.
