Rating 3.5

The only silly charges are for the cabin and engine air filters (33.90 + 55.34 + 215.00 = $304.24 yikes!) and the serpentine belt replacement (64.46 + 215.00 = $279.46 yikes!).

Changing all three of these things (air filters and serpentine belt) would take about 10 minutes for a high school kid who's changed similar parts on a Ford or Toyota before, or maybe up to 30 minutes for someone with zero experience who watches some DIY videos on YouTube.

I also dislike how serpentine belts have been rebranded into "drive belts" because everyone knows changing a serpentine belt requires one wrench and takes 2 minutes on most cars (including 997's), but nobody knows what a "drive belt" is (but it sounds important if you want to drive!).

$29.53 each for six spark plugs that cost $10.50 each (by exact model number FGR-5-KQE0) at Pelican Parts is also a bit high; I would expect a shop to charge maybe 50% over retail for parts, so maybe $15 - $16 per spark plug would be more reasonable. It's not terribly much money in the long run but gives you an indication that the shop is willing to gouge you anywhere and everywhere.

But overall, a mostly fair invoice.

Pros: mostly fair invoice
Cons: overpriced filters, belt, spark plugs
Vehicle: Porsche
Part number: FGR-5-KQE0
