[Porsche] Larson vs. Barrier
I found a little engine oil leak on my Cayenne S, it's not dripping or anything like that, but it's there for sure.

Which dealer service dept would you take your Porsche for the warranty service? Larson or Barrier?

Please feel free to share your experiences.
Thanks in advance!

Mike

Honestly, both dealers are very reputable, but I recommend go to the closest. You never know if you're going to have to come back for a part, or possibly some other work. If you're in Seattle, driving to Larson may be a bit of an inconvenience?

Funny, My house is 6 miles from Barrier and I go to Larson. At least for Purchases. Tried buying 4 different cars from Barrier over the past 4 years and they don't want to make a deal. However, I have heard great things about their service department.

Since you are so close, go check out my old car. Make sure it's doing ok.

Poletti my friend I agree a bunch on Barrier pricing they have been spoiled for too long by the "superrich" eastsiders.

Service and mechanics are a whole different game.

btw check your cell phone buddy. I've sent you two texts this am...

100% agree. Jeff has a great crew. I get lot's of info from Jeff and Justin (now parts manager) that they don't have to take time out of their busy schedules to do.

I've heard good things about Barrier Porsche. I'd avoid Barrier Audi Service like the plague.

Thanks for the advices, I personally would travel extra miles to get the stuff done properly if necessary.
Now I feel comfortable leaving my CS w/ Barrier.
I'll schedule an appointment to have it checked up.

Is Jeff F. the service dept manager?
Should I just call in to make an appointment with any service advisers or a particular one(please feel free to pass along the names.).

Thanks in advance!
