EH? You must know.

I`m going to call them myself as my PA phoned them, but this don't sound right...?

I mean they must have something scribbled down ... I want to check the list against some of the threads detailing services to see how thorough as service it will be.
There is a complete checklist for both minor and major service - yup, the CGT has two types of regular maintenance. It's all available on the Porsche Dealer Service intranet. I've seen it myself. I wouldn't allow your dealer to touch your car if they can't even provide you with this "simple" printout. Let me know if you need more assistance ~ I'll see if I can grab the PDF files for you.

If the dealer isn't equipped to do it don't do it.

My service had a break down of hours and parts and what was covered when I did mine.
Yeah, we have had no issue going through a punchlist with either of our CGT clients. You want to know what your writing that check for. If your dealer can't even give you a list or an explanation strange things are afoot at the Porsche dealer,

it's not that uncommon. just sounds like the dealer never done one before so they have no clue what's involved. that's just a red flag there i would go somewhere else to do it.

If they can service the car, they should be able to break it down for you. The place I worked (sold 4 CGTs new) could pinpoint every procedure they went through.

As everyone has said, do not let them touch the car. Not worth the risk.

if they dont know, wont tell you, or havent done it before, RUN!!

its a simple print out on their compu, my dealer printed it all out for me BEFORE they did any work. Its also all in your owners manual of whats to be done at which service, you can even have some stuff done that may need to be done soon, but isnt part of the current scheduled maintance.

put it on a truck and send it else where, one tiny mistake or over sight will cost you endless amount of time to find and correct, and possibly even more money....
