My friend who is a real Porsche guy recommends 1st Auto at Carros Centre, 60 Jalan Lam Huat. #03-42. Ask for Ah Fai or Robin.

 

Disclaimer: never used them myself but have visited them to test drive a 996 turbo manual. Seemed very competent and nice. Also saw the work they were doing on my friend's car.

 

I know it's hardly in the locale you want, but to me, competence is more important than convenience for this sort of thing.

 

When I had my 911 (some years ago), I've used Flatsix and Autostrasse. I think Autostrasse staff are now running Flatsix. Personally I wouldn't use them. Long story.

 

Weissach should be ok but I've only used them for the inspection of a 997 turbo I was once looking at. Inspection was thorough but quite expensive in my opinion.

my Boxster insurance premium was jacked up by 2.5x, even though i had no claims.

 

broker said is due to industry-wide losses..

 

anyone else kena this mad increase?

Just to add on

Autostrasse better with Audi, i would say

Actually Porsches are not crazily complicated and parts are plentiful and easy to buy by part number.

 

Porsches and BMWs are great for technically inclined owners.

i got a quote for 987.1 service package: oil, filters (oil, air, cabin-air), labour, for S$600, which i feel is much too high...

 

1. can anyone recommend more value-for-money workshop for normal service?

 

2. which are the Porsche parts dealers/stockists? may just buy the filters and find non-(expensive) Porsche specialist shop for oil change...

$600 is at Stuttgart right?

 

Nowadays many shops can do old cayman boxsters especially

Filter only $50

Oil is $25 per liter or go for cheaper ones also ok

Everything in should be no more than $350.

 

 

You can buy parts from Design911 online

Very good. Can even rebuild the whole damn car

Haha
