They have a reputation to maintain!
Do you mind me asking how much the bill was? My 12k Service + Fuel Filter + Coolant Change + Plus Front Brake Pads was £530, so wondering if it was similar.

12K service (less air filter as I have a K&N one apparently), replace thermostat, coupla bulbs, OEM DME relay as it an aftermarket one known to fail apparently and check its operation (car definitely `seems` to run/tickover smoother but it could be my imagination, check rear wheel bearing noise (its not the bearing its the transaxle pinion bearing (£1000 to replace[][][]) but its barely noticeable and they stated that it was likely to last another 50-100K miles and to replace when its too noisy. Some other small stuff in there as well incl retorque rear nut (where I removed the wheel)
Not cheap but not bad IMO service is about 280, thermostat was 85 plus parts, lubricants etc etc and vat

My first Porsche was a 1982 944 lux around 6 years ago and it was very rough on the outside, I had Machtech change the cam belts and during this they managed to dent the bonnet, looked as if they left some tools under there and slamed it shut.
After I pointed this out Jonas (sp?) had dent master out the following week to fix at there expense, no questions.
Never had a problem with their service since, although they did start to get pricey so I've used a few others, but would reccomend them.

I doubt they care what your car is - £500 is £500 quid whether from a 993 owner or a 944 owner. They are getting pricey though....[8|]

Yes, they are getting a bit pricey now, but isn't everyone. A local mechanic to me who services the Mrs's 205XS (quite sporty, and not too fast for a girl!) charges not much less per hours and he doesn't have anything like the facilities of JZ.
I always find JZ helpful and Jonas and Dave always have time to talk for a few minutes about my car.

I'ld bring this to their attention.
As for me, got the car back last week. 1st drive in it and got a stone chip on the brand new windscreen. Grrr. It's back in the garage now because the roof has a personality of it's own. Sometimes will work, sometimes will not.
Saw a mag of 944s2 from 2002 and it seems prices for top quality cars might even be going up a little.
