Has anyone ever gotten a quote on the brake fluid flush only? It’s the only thing I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing myself.

Exactly what does the “service” entail? It looks like a basic brake fluid swap, air filters, and maybe a tire rotation if you don’t have a staggered wheel set up. I can’t see how they can justify $1,600-1,800 ??‍♂

Which Taycan doesn't have staggered wheel setup? If staggered, you can only do left-to-right swap, but a) why would one side wear differently on a properly aligned car, and b) if directional tires, need to remount them, rebalance them.

PS> I don't trust Porsche replacing my wiper washer fluid. The one they put into my car for delivery (new car) froze on me as soon as I drove into the mountains, had to drain all fluid at a Walmart EA (which by the way froze on the car body as I squirted it out after manually defrosting the nozles) and replace it with one I bought at Walmart in order to be able to drive the car. That was also when I found out that Taycans don't have heater washer nozzles (seriously? not everyone buys a Porsche as a garage/driveway decoration).

I got my first 2yr service included with my purchase, but IIRC it was ~$750 price retail to add it to the purchase (that is with PCNA so any dealer will do it, so the price must include profit for the selling dealer as well as the price to pay the dealer who actually performs it).

profit for the dealer is the theme here
they will quote as much as they think they can get away with

Would venture to say that Taycan owners in Southern California less likely to be DIY'ers than owners of other brands in other geographical areas, and the dealers know it.

Otherwise, find an independent shop or a friend with a PIWIS.

Just paid about 800$ in Pennsylvania.
Here is the breakdown of what I was charged. Will be doing my own air filter change in the future. That should probably save me about 200-300$

- Complete break fluid/cabin filter service: 539.88$ (labor)
- Dust and pollen filter: 134.53$ (part)
- Break fluid: 48.72$ (part)
- Shop charge for repair order: 23.50$ (not exactly sure what this was all about)

I have my MY 2022 Taycan (with only 7000 miles) on a lease - does anyone know if the 2-year/20k service is required under the lease agreement?

Just got mine - quote for $425 - if I went with their quote for the full service it would be $1095!!!! I’ll do the filter changes and ‘lube’ my own door seals ;)! The rest was apparently ensuring nuts and bolts were to torque spec - I shit you not!

Much appreciated! Normally I obsess over having a stack of dealer service records for all maintenance but this time I am taking a different approach. I will order a la carte when it comes to Porsche service with this EV. I see very few downsides.
