80K mile Service: 987.2

Thought the experience might help a few!
I have had this slightly troublesome car since 2016, and before going on a very recent Euro Trip booked the car into Zuffenhaus, South Birmingham who have become by go-to independent for the last 4 years or so.
The car today was at 78.6K, so a touch early, but i thought the trip would be more miles than it turned out to be.
It was booked in for a minor service, a brake fluid change and a free-be handbrake adjust as it seemed a bit excessive in travel though works well.
On holiday I had a coil pack on #5 cylinder fail which was sorted in Austria, but I felt it right to fit all new 6 coils DIY despite reading how awkward it can be (I'm 71 now and a bit creeky.....) so not looking forward to that one.
Anyway, got there today, given a coffee and allowed to wait for the car. I asked, if they had time, to change the coils for me (I had 6 new ones to fit in the boot) and if the cost was not too bad.
I trust these people, never been ripped off.
Went into the workshop at 8.30am, came out at 10.45am all done and dusted including the coils changed and the old ones in the boot.
The coils changed readily as the wheels were off anyway, so well on the way to fitting them.
Zuffenhaus charged me just £45 to fit the coils! What a deal that is.
Service was 240 and the fluid 79, £350 all in ready to go.
Mike there (owner) knows this car well and how sensitive it is to oil level and white smoke, so the refil was very carefully done.
Drove home a treat. Back on E10 now the fast road trip is over and Boxster life is back to normal.
I have no affiliation to Zuffenhaus, just a happy customer and love the simple straight forward no fuss approach, Drive in, chat about the state of the car, wait, pay, drive home.
That indeed will do Nicely.
