Anyone here can recommend me a place to get a 30k mi tune up on a 996TT in the socal area? I've got price quotes up to $2100!!! Thats insane! Is there independent shops that are Porsche specialists that do just as good a job as the Porsche certified dealers? Or can anyone recommend me a dealer that does a good job for a reasonable price?

 

Where are you located in SoCal?

 

I'm located in the Inland Empire (909) but i'm willing to drive anywhere from the OC to LA.

 

Check out 911 Design in Montclair ask for Loren ,it's a beautiful large shop & he's got years of racing experience ,he did my 10 k & beat dealer price by quite a bit.Locally that 's the only place i take my car tell him Adam sent you.(909)627-1296

 

Vision Motorsports in Laguna Hills.

 

Thanks Adam! Do they have a website? Is the 10K mi service he did on your 997TT for just a routine oil change? I'm guessing they'll change the spark plugs, coil packs, all fluids, etc etc. I'm wondering if the 10k, 30k, or 60k mi services they provide is the same routine checklist for tune-up you get at a Porsche dealership?

 

Mine included changing brake fluid & oil change he does exactly what dealer does they look it up on the comp for what ever service your doing ,not sure about a website .I also had some basic mods done by them .

 

I called Vision Motorsports and they quoted me $1155. Is that a good price for a $30K mi tune up for spark plugs, oil change, filters? They say it'll take almost 9 hours to do it. Does it really take that long? I'm new to Porsche's but thats a really long time for a tune up! On my Supra i could do all that for about an hour myself!

 

You also want the front bumper removed and the radiators cleaned out. Call Newport Porsche and ask for Jon the serivce manager. Tell him Robert from the PCA Turbo Registry sent you.

 

How's their pricing?

 

Called that # and it seemed like a dead-end #

 

I took my 997 to RSS/Stuttgart Performance in Costa Mesa for my 36k service. Had them do a brake fluid flush, change spark plugs, oil service at a pretty decent price compared to the dealership. Give them a call and ask for Brian.

 

Do they change the cabin filter, air filter, brakes pads like a 30K mi. factory tune-up? If you dont mind sharing but how much did that service for?
