5 Ways Your Local Porsche Dealership Can Help Maintain Your CarWe choose Porsche because their precision engineering exudes style, performance, and reliability. While it is tempting to DIY or cut corners employing an outside garage for maintenance and repairs, there are compelling reasons for using an authorized Porsche dealership service center. Whether it’s something as routine as an oil/filter change, a major service interval, or a rare part replacement, your Porsche dealer can make the experience as worthwhile as the reasons you chose Porsche in the first place.

Maintaining Your Experience

Your Porsche experience begins with how you experience the maintenance department itself. They know your Porsche passion better than anyone else. It starts with knowing what kind of maintenance is needed on your visit, so they are ready when you arrive. This includes parts, equipment, and specialists on hand to complete the work with minimal downtime. They can help you schedule your visit and arrange for a (Porsche) loaner car, which gives you a chance to expand your Porsche experience.

Technicians Are Porsche Professionals

It’s not just Porsche-certified training: it’s the fact they work on hundreds (if not thousands) of cars just like yours. It’s also the fact that they have done so in an environment with the tools, diagnostic equipment, and specific expertise in Porsche’s precision maintenance/repair practices. This means they are current in Porsche’s best practices and get the job done effectively and efficiently. They have seen your car; they have driven your car; and they share your passion for the marque.

The Latest Diagnostic Tools

Modern Porsches merge cars and computers. This achieves incredible efficiency, otherworldly performance, and unique reliability. It also means Porsches require compatible diagnostic equipment to troubleshoot issues. Porsche service centers are equipped with certified equipment so that our technicians can rapidly pinpoint specific issues. There is no “guessing” diagnostic codes to figure something out. They can get straight to making the adjustment or repair. This puts you back on the road faster and confident the right work was completed correctly.

Warranty Assurance

Porsche stands behind its engineering and manufacturing with industry-leading warranties. Maintaining your Porsche at a certified service center helps preserve this warranty because Porsche itself did the work and has a record of all work done on the vehicle. Unfortunately, non-certified service centers unversed in Porsche practices can inadvertently void the warranty by using sub-par parts or damaging systems by installing parts incorrectly. It saves far more to get the repair done correctly and within the Porsche system.

The Right Porsche Parts

Your Porsche service center uses only Porsche parts. These are designed and manufactured to the same quality as the originals. This ensures they will hold up to the intended specifications of your vehicle’s performance. Unfortunately, aftermarket parts used by non-Porsche garages sometimes cause more issues than they were intended to fix. Using a dealership service center ensures not only your warranty; it keeps you from the disappointment of unnecessary downtime. You bought your Porsche to drive, not to wait for.

For all the same reasons you decided to invest in a Porsche, it makes sense to keep your vehicle maintained within the Porsche ecosystem. It is better for your vehicle, your budget, and your peace of mind. Contact Porsche Stevens Creek today to find out how we can help you schedule your comprehensive maintenance program.
