[font="comic sans ms,sans-serif"]So this is where it gets interesting, I have 2 OPC's that have both confirmed in emails to me that the 4 year major service they have quoted for is part of the fixed price service.[/font]
[font="comic sans ms,sans-serif"]Although both have quoted different rates for the fixed price service (one slightly higher and lower).[/font]
[font="comic sans ms,sans-serif"]Both have mentioned the Drive Belt Check at extra cost was recommended at 4 years (which is the major service remember) and yet the Major Service states the following[/font] (extract from the 911 (Type 991) Fixed price servicing PDF)...
Major service includes: All items in minor service as detailed plus: • Replacement of air cleaner element • Check condition, and adjust if required: fuel system, parking brake, clutch, steering gear, tie rod ends, axle joints, running gear, exhaust system, suspension, seat belts, throttle actuation and Polyrib belt All of the above items are included in the fixed pricing structure.*
[font="comic sans ms,sans-serif"]I have read the small print which gives the OPC's an opportunity to change anything at anytime see below...[/font]
Service timeline and additional work requirements vary according to model. For full details on your Porsche’s service requirements please contact the Service Department at your local Porsche Centre. Within a minor or major service additional parts or work may be required depending upon the age of the vehicle, mileage and wear and tear. Additional work is not included within the prices displayed, should it be required we will advise you of this prior to completing the work. Having your Porsche serviced by a Porsche Centre means you also have access to a courtesy car** or the option of a collection and delivery service.** For more information about the range of services available, please speak to a member of the Service Department at your local Porsche Centre. *Participating Centres only. Fixed price tariffs may be withdrawn or varied at any time. **Subject to availability.
[font="comic sans ms,sans-serif"]So am I missing something or am I correct in saying that the Drive Belt/Polyrib Belt does not need to be added as a recommended item at extra cost?[/font]
