I have two options i need help with; (1) take it to a independent porsche mechanic and have it changed for $100 or (2) take it to the dealer and have them do it for $190 (beverly hills) I'm worried that if i take it to an independent mech for this minor service, i might face backlash from the dealers should any problem arise(putting the blame on me b/c of customer loyalty blah blah blah).

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.

It's been 3 months and 6000miles since i first picked up my car. Love every second of it, even in traffic. I find every excuse to drive this car and always take the long route. I'm planning on doing the oil change @ 7k miles. I have two options i need help with; (1) take it to a independent porsche mechanic and have it changed for $100 or (2) take it to the dealer and have them do it for $190 (beverly hills) I'm worried that if i take it to an independent mech for this minor service, i might face backlash from the dealers should any problem arise(putting the blame on me b/c of customer loyalty blah blah blah). Do you see any problem with this? or am i being too paranoid? Sorry, it's my first Porsche and i'm babying it as much as i can.
Mods so far: I removed the jumper so that my sport exhaust is on constantly with no cut-off but the 'quiet' switch still works. Valentine1 with Stealth display (not hard wired yet)
Next up: Coilovers and 19's Still debating on a setup but am leaning towards JIC. I'm completely indecisive about what type of wheels i want, might end up with 3 different sets
Only gripes so far is that the gas cap hasn't stayed open since i first got it, there is an airleak on both doors @ 75+mph, squeaking noise over bumpy roads @ the pillars behind the small rear windows( is this normal?) and the switch to manually lift the deck wing doesn't work anymore. I was told most of these, if not all were covered under warranty.
The car is still a blast to drive.
I personally think it's important to develop a good relationship with at least one service department at a dealership...you never know when you may need someone to bat for you once your warranty runs out. $90 seems like a minor expense to help grease future goodwill.
FYI, I've had a few things on my 993 fixed at no costs despite the warranty having expired a long time ago (valve cover gasket leak, jammed CD changer, etc).
I had the same problem with squeaks in the roofline at the c pillars.
It was loose and broken clips for the roofliner. It was a simple fix once the dealer found the problem. Good luck.
I know this is kind of obvious, but don't forget to get all those squeaks and rattles and such fixed completely under warranty before you put on the coilovers.
