718 GT4 First Service

[N54]

Hi,

My first service is due on my 718 GT4.

The car was purchased from OPC Reading.

Is there any benefit to taking it back there, as i understand it they are the centre that does the initial checks on all GT cars?

If not I’ll take it to a closer centre, probably Hatfield.

Thanks

Absolutely fine taking it to Hatfield.

Take it to the one that gives you the cheapest price to service it. They do vary and quite a bit.

Reading is only a must-use for CGT and 918, all other GT products are just fine at any OPC

Mine is due next month so I rang around. Just wondering if the 2x prices I'm being quoted below from my 2x nearest OPC's, are near enough what others are currently being quoted?

£1035.33
£1017.39

Both said it was being done on time (not milage, due to my low miles), an intermediate service & inspection inc' engine oil & fluids, and brake fluid.

I have no reason to distrust, just curious of others' recent experiences .

TIA

Hi.
Had a quote last week from OPC Chester

If you are a member of Porsche Club GB you may get a discount. I got a 10% discount off the quoted price. Also applies to tyres where I got 15%.

Not all centres honour this. And not for tyres either.
They say… we just pass on price from supplier.

I had first service on my 718 Spyder last May and was charged £881 - included brake fluid change. Bournemouth OPC . I would have though5 GT 4 service requirements would be same as Spyder ?
