servicing

You need to have it serviced in the OPC chain if you want to retain the warranty.

Hello anyone!

I bought a 55 plate from Leeds Porsche in April which only had 8400 miles. Got a reminder from them that its due service now. It came with approved 1 yr warranty, should i service it with them or are there good independents nearby that would be better bet?

I live in Hull.

thanks

Mark

I'd check the service history and the wording in the approved car literature - If it was 4 months from a service then i would have thought it should have been done before resale. Your car is on 2 yearly servicing, so why does it need one after 5 years ???? If it hasn't been serviced for 2 years then its due a service and brake fluid change, and possibly a change in the tyre sealant too (every 4 years) - the OPC should have replaced that at least for resale back in April.

The previous poster is correct - if the car was missing a service, then it should have been done before the car was sold as "approved". If it was up to date then they would only do the service if it was due within 3 months or 3,000 miles. On two year service intervals, if your car was registered in, say, Aug 2005 it should have been serviced in 07 and 09, meaning it isnt due for service until 2011. The only reason for it to be due now would be if it was serviced in 06 and 08 which seems unlikely for such a low mileage car.
