Porsche Cayenne S 40K service questions

Steve,

I received a combined 36K and 40K service quote on my `08 Cayenne for $750 from Red Line Motors in Purceville, VA (on Route 7, about six miles west of Leesburg). Evidently, they need to replace the spark plugs in the 36K service which is the only thing.

Seem pretty good, but a 40 minute drive from Reston, VA.

I used to go to Porsche at Tysons Corner, but could never get out of there for less than $1,500

My sister's back in VA and the repair prices seem a bit steep there. Pays to shop around!

Are the plugs that hard to change. Oil changes can be done pretty much by any place for 60- 70 dollars with synthetic oil. The visuals are pretty easy to do yourself.

Best let an owner address that one.

But in general, plugs are harder to get to these days. There's a lot of stuff crammed into engine compartments, and they are often hidden under plastic shields and other parts. There's one plug on my 10 year old minivan that I've never seen, so I let the mechanic handle it when the 105k change interval came around.
