Thanks for the reply

Actually, the oil change is so simple I could have done it myself I just did not feel like crawling under the car while it was on the jackstands. I did take it to another place and get it done for $118 so no biggie. I also have the factory manuals which have helped me quite a bit already. I also like to do things myself but some things I rather have someone else do it, just for insurance. But as you also implied, the approach that they will charge unreasonable prices just because they can (The Porsche Tax) is a bit outrageous. I've noticed on Rennlist that most people work on their cars, that's the only way they can afford it.
