DucatiRob said:As I'm off to France for a few days on Sunday, first time abroad in the Porsche, I thought I would get the oil changed as the engine is now just about run in! Booked it in at my next most local indie, not a good experience at my most local last time :shutup: Was expecting maybe £150 - £170 for just oil and filter.....£262!!!!!
More fool me, I should have asked first I guess.. but £262!!! I did question the price, explained - £113 for 9 litres of Castrol GTX (wtf), labour one hour at £103, filter £23.50 plus an oil disposal charge! One hour to change the oil, guessing the guy must have been rooted to the spot watching the oil drain out for 45min!
What p'd me off most was receptionist informed me that a minor service is only £307! Thanks for that!
I was there for an hour and a half wondering around a very nice showroom ( three GT2RS's and a Carrera GT) and the only person that spoke to me was the guy washing the cars!
Car didn't get washed and no free litre of oil!
Rant over....not happy :gunfire:

It was JZM Porsche in Kings Langley, it was Castrol Edge they used, will be changing it myself as soon as I get back from France!
Think I will concoct a snotty letter to Mr/Mrs JZM!
