Lubrication

Average Service Interval

5,000 miles or 6–12 months

Service Descriptions

Comprehensive Porsche oil and filter change using OEM-approved synthetic oil and filter. This service restores proper lubrication, protects turbochargers and timing components, and ensures long-term engine health.

Porsche engines, including flat-six, V8, and turbocharged variants operate under extreme heat and stress that accelerate oil degradation. Routine oil service is critical to protect turbochargers, timing chains, and internal seals from sludge, varnish, and premature wear. Our process begins with a full inspection of the oil pan, drain plug, and filter housing for leaks. We then drain the old oil, replace the OEM filter, and clean the housing for a proper seal. Fresh Porsche-approved synthetic oil (meeting A40, C30, or Mobil 1 factory specifications depending on model) is filled to exact capacity and viscosity. The drain plug and housing are torqued to spec, and the engine is warmed to confirm oil pressure and circulation. Finally, we reset service reminders in the PCM system and document the service. Regular oil changes every 5,000 miles or 6–12 months preserve engine longevity and peak performance.

System

Brakes

Component

Brake Fluid

Average Service Interval

20,000 miles or 24 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche brake fluid flush restores safe braking response by replacing old, moisture-contaminated fluid with OEM-approved DOT 4 or Porsche-specified fluid. This prevents brake fade, corrosion, and ABS/PSM issues.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, reducing its boiling point and increasing the risk of vapor lock or brake fade under heavy braking. For Porsche vehicles, especially high-performance 911, Cayman, Boxster, Panamera, and Cayenne models, maintaining fresh brake fluid is critical for both safety and track performance. During this service, our technicians flush the hydraulic system using Porsche-approved DOT 4 fluid (or high-temperature motorsport fluid if specified), bleed each caliper using PIWIS diagnostic-assisted procedures, and inspect lines, hoses, and calipers for leaks or wear. A road test verifies pedal feel and braking performance. Regular brake fluid replacement every 20,000 miles or 24 months ensures strong pedal response, protects ABS/PSM modules, and preserves stopping power.

Air Filter

Average Service Interval

15,000–30,000 miles or 12–24 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche engine air filter replacement ensures clean airflow for maximum performance. Our technicians install OEM-approved filters, inspect the housing, and remove debris to protect your engine and maintain power.

The engine air filter prevents dirt, dust, and debris from entering your Porsche’s intake system. Over time, filters clog and restrict airflow, leading to reduced performance, lower fuel efficiency, and increased engine wear. High-performance Porsche engines, such as flat-six or turbocharged variants, are particularly sensitive to airflow restrictions. During this service, we replace the air filter with a Porsche-approved part, inspect the housing for leaks or cracks, and document the condition of the removed filter. For vehicles driven in dusty or high-performance environments, earlier replacement may be necessary. This preventive service helps maintain horsepower, throttle response, and long-term reliability.

15,000–20,000 miles or 12–24 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche cabin air filter replacement improves interior air quality and HVAC performance. Our technicians install OEM-approved filters, inspect the housing, and confirm proper airflow for a clean, comfortable cabin.

The cabin air filter in your Porsche traps dust, pollen, and pollutants before they enter the HVAC system. Over time, the filter clogs and restricts airflow, straining the blower motor and allowing odors or allergens into the cabin. In dusty or urban environments, the filter may clog faster and require earlier replacement. During this service, we replace the filter with a Porsche-approved component, clean and inspect the housing, and confirm HVAC performance. This preventive maintenance keeps your interior fresh, reduces allergens, protects the HVAC system, and maintains the luxury comfort Porsche drivers expect.

System

Transmission

Component

Fluid & Filter

Average Service Interval

40,000–60,000 miles or 48–72 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche transmission fluid & filter service maintains smooth shifting and gearbox longevity. Our technicians use OEM-approved fluids, replace filters and seals, and perform PIWIS diagnostic adaptations where required.

Porsche transmissions of all types (e.g. Tiptronic automatic, dual-clutch PDK, or manual) require clean fluid to ensure precise shifting, cooling, and long-term reliability. Over time, heat and friction degrade fluid, and filters collect debris. If neglected, this can cause harsh shifts, delayed engagement, or internal wear to clutches and valve bodies. During this service, our technicians drain the old fluid, replace the transmission filter and pan gasket (when equipped), and refill with Porsche-approved fluid to factory capacity. For PDK dual-clutch systems, fluid and filter are replaced strictly at 40,000 miles or 4 years, with adaptations performed via PIWIS diagnostic software. Tiptronic automatics are serviced every 60,000 miles, while manual gearbox fluid is replaced between 60,000–80,000 miles. A road test and adaptation reset confirm proper operation.

Component

Rear Differential

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 60–96 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche rear differential fluid service protects the AWD driveline by replacing worn fluid with OEM-approved gear oil. Our technicians inspect seals, check for leaks, and confirm smooth torque delivery to the rear wheels.

In Porsche AWD models, the rear differential distributes torque to the rear wheels for traction and handling balance. Over time, differential fluid degrades from heat and load, losing its ability to protect gears and bearings. If neglected, this can cause whining noises, vibration, or costly internal wear. During this service, our technicians drain the old fluid, refill with Porsche-approved gear oil, and inspect the housing, seals, and mounting points for leaks or damage. A driveline check and road test confirm smooth operation. Regular rear differential service every 60,000–80,000 miles preserves AWD reliability, reduces noise, and extends component life.

Porsche front differential fluid service maintains AWD performance by replacing old fluid with OEM-approved gear oil. Our technicians inspect seals, check for leaks, and confirm smooth torque transfer to the front wheels.

In Porsche AWD models such as the Cayenne, Macan, and 911 Carrera 4, the front differential works with the rear differential and transfer case to distribute torque. Over time, fluid breaks down from heat and load, losing its protective properties. If neglected, this can cause noise, vibration, or premature wear of gears and bearings. During service, we drain the old fluid, refill with Porsche-approved gear oil, and inspect the housing and seals for leaks. A driveline check and road test confirm proper function. Regular front differential fluid service every 60,000–80,000 miles preserves handling balance, reduces wear, and extends AWD system life.

Transfer Case

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 60–96 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche transfer case fluid service preserves AWD performance by replacing degraded fluid with OEM-approved oil. Our technicians inspect seals, check for leaks, and confirm smooth torque distribution between front and rear axles.

The transfer case in Porsche AWD models (Cayenne, Macan, Panamera, and 911 Carrera 4) directs torque between the front and rear axles. Its fluid experiences constant stress from heat and load, eventually losing its ability to lubricate gears and clutches. If neglected, this can cause jerking, vibration, or failure of the AWD system. During service, our technicians drain the old fluid, refill with Porsche-approved transfer case oil, and inspect the housing, seals, and electronic actuators for leaks or wear. Using PIWIS diagnostics, we verify proper AWD operation and reset service reminders if required. Regular service every 60,000–80,000 miles protects driveline smoothness, prevents costly repairs, and ensures the balanced handling Porsche is known for.

System

Cooling

Component

Coolant

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 48–60 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche coolant service protects against overheating and corrosion by flushing old coolant and refilling with OEM-approved antifreeze. Our technicians inspect hoses, water pump, and radiator, and pressure-test the system for leaks.

The cooling system in your Porsche maintains stable engine temperature and prevents internal corrosion. Over time, coolant loses its protective properties, allowing scale buildup, electrolysis, and overheating risks. High-performance Porsche engines, including turbocharged and GT models, place extreme demands on the cooling system. During service, our technicians drain the old coolant, flush the system, and refill with Porsche-approved antifreeze (G40/G12 EVO or factory-specified). We also inspect the radiator, water pump, expansion tank, hoses, and fittings for leaks or cracks. A pressure test verifies system integrity, and PIWIS diagnostics may be used to bleed electronically controlled systems. Regular coolant replacement every 60,000–80,000 miles or 4–5 years ensures reliable cooling and protects against costly head gasket or engine damage.

System

HVAC

Component

Air Conditioning

Average Service Interval

Service Descriptions

Restore cold, consistent air in your Porsche with an inspect-first A/C Service. We performance-test the system, check for leaks, and only recover and recharge if testing shows it is needed. Results are documented with pressures, vent temperatures, and photos.

Porsche A/C systems are sealed and do not require routine recharges on a fixed schedule. Instead, service is performed when performance tests reveal weak cooling, low refrigerant, or leaks. Our process starts with a vent temperature and system pressure test. If results are abnormal, we perform electronic or dye-assisted leak detection. If refrigerant is low, we recover what remains, vacuum hold test the system, and recharge to the exact Porsche factory specification (R-1234yf or R-134a depending on model). We also check condenser fans, compressor control, blend door function, and cabin filter condition. In hot climates, heavy urban traffic, or during frequent track driving, inspections may be advised more often, but recharging is only performed when necessary. A digital report with photos, pressures, and vent temps is provided for transparency.

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 72–96 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche drive belt and tensioner replacement ensures reliable operation of accessories such as the alternator, water pump, and A/C compressor. Our technicians install OEM-approved parts, inspect pulleys, and verify alignment for smooth, dependable operation.

The drive belt system in your Porsche powers critical accessories including the alternator, water pump, power steering, and A/C compressor. Over time, belts can crack, glaze, or stretch, and tensioners may weaken or seize. If neglected, these issues can cause squealing noises, loss of accessory function, or sudden belt failure that may leave you stranded. During this service, our technicians remove the worn belt and tensioner, install new Porsche-approved components, and inspect pulleys, bearings, and idlers for wear. Proper tension and alignment are confirmed to restore reliable accessory operation. This preventive service protects engine accessories, reduces noise, and ensures long-term dependability.

Timing Chain / Belt

Average Service Interval

60,000–100,000 miles or 72–120 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche timing system service prevents catastrophic engine damage by inspecting or replacing the chain/belt, guides, and tensioners with OEM-approved components.

Most modern Porsche engines (such as the 911, Cayman, Boxster, Panamera, and Cayenne gasoline engines) use timing chains designed for long life. However, chain stretch, worn guides, and weak tensioners can lead to rattles, misfires, and timing faults. Some older Porsche models and certain diesels use timing belts that require scheduled replacement to avoid sudden failure. During this service, our technicians inspect or replace the timing chain/belt, guides, and tensioners using Porsche-approved components. PIWIS diagnostics confirm timing correlation and adaptations. Ignoring worn timing components can lead to bent valves, piston damage, or complete engine failure. This preventive service restores smooth operation, ensures precise timing, and protects your Porsche’s performance engine.

Spark Plugs

Average Service Interval

30,000–60,000 miles or 36–72 months

Service Descriptions

Porsche spark plug replacement restores strong ignition, smooth idle, and peak performance. Our technicians install OEM-approved plugs, inspect ignition coils, and reset service reminders using PIWIS diagnostics.

Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture inside your Porsche’s engine. Over time, plug electrodes wear, gaps widen, and deposits form, leading to misfires, rough idle, poor fuel economy, or sluggish performance. Turbocharged and GT models require more frequent replacement due to higher combustion pressures. During service, our technicians replace spark plugs with Porsche-approved components, inspect ignition coils, and verify ignition timing using PIWIS diagnostics. Service reminders are reset, and a road test confirms smooth performance. Regular replacement prevents catalytic converter damage, ensures efficient combustion, and maintains the high-performance driving experience Porsche is known for.

Service Descriptions

Porsche ignition coil replacement restores strong spark and prevents misfires by installing OEM-approved coils. Our technicians also inspect spark plugs, run PIWIS diagnostics, and confirm smooth engine performance.

Ignition coils convert battery voltage into the high-energy spark needed to ignite fuel in Porsche performance engines. Over time, coils weaken or fail, causing misfires, rough idle, loss of power, or reduced fuel economy. Turbocharged and GT models often stress coils more, requiring earlier replacement. During service, our technicians replace faulty coils with Porsche-approved parts, inspect spark plugs, and verify ignition performance using PIWIS diagnostics. Service reminders are reset, and a test drive confirms smooth operation. Regular ignition coil replacement prevents catalytic converter damage, eliminates misfires, and ensures Porsche delivers the precise performance it was engineered for.

The team in Boerne handled the 20K mile service on my 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera T with care. The pricing was fair, and the staff was incredibly friendly and personable. Derek and his crew did an excellent job taking care of both me and my car. He welcomed follow-up questions and responded quickly to ensure I was completely satisfied. I also spoke with the technician about the car once the service was finished. I’m definitely planning to return for my 30K mile service or whatever’s due next year. The snacks were pretty good while I waited for the service—really good stuff. Thanks! :-)
