My GTS is coming up to it's first service, being 2 years/20,000 miles.
Essentially, as no doubt everyone knows, this is oil & filter change along with brake fluid change.
I've contacted two OPCs just to see if there were any significant price differences.
Naturally I was expecting reassuringly expensive but what surprised me was that both were quoting for additional work for drain clearing, coming in at around £400 + vat. Fortunately I don't have a sunroof because that would be extra.
My question is is this work necessary or is it another instance of Porsche tax?
Also if I decline to have the work done could the OPC use it as an excuse to claim warranty invalidated.
Anyone else had similar?
Thanks

It's a scam! Decline it.

AndyH, how much have you been quoted for the service and brake fluid change? Which OPCs?
I declined the pano roof drain cleaning and Air Con service last year when my GTS was 2yrs old.

Is that £400 + VAT all in, for the whole service?
It can’t be just for drain checking?!
I don’t have a sunroof either. My OPC quoted me for drain checking in the fuel filler cavity and the windscreen scuttle, but it was nowhere near £400.
Edit: Just seen your reply to Steve! Bl00dy hell!

As you're looking in the North West, go to Stockport. I just got an oil change done there for £202 inc. VAT. Brake fluid about £100.

That’s good value, if other prices are anything to go by, it would be worth me travelling from Newcastle, take the missus and book a spa day nearby for her and stay overnight!

Think Porsche are missing a trick. Do what Maserati do on the Grecale - give a “free” 3 year service plan.
Nothing in this world is free - just added to the list price.

That's £866 onc VAT. I paid £682 this time last year for the same service.
