How much does it cost to service a Porsche 911 in the UK
Owning a Porsche 911 is for many a life goal; these Porsches are extremely special cars and, as such, deserve the highest quality of upkeep in order to maintain the performance, reliability, and value through proper servicing. But the elephant in the room when it comes to owning these phenomenal cars is: how much does it cost to service a Porsche 911?
The answer depends on several factors, primarily the generation of 911 you own, your driving style, and the current service interval. In this, we will break down Porsche 911 service intervals, typical costs, and what’s involved in the Porsche service process, drawing on our decades of experience as one of the UK’s leading independent Porsche specialists.
Porsche 911 Service Intervals: How Often Should You Service Your 911?
Porsche generally recommends that all modern 911 models follow a 24-month or 20,000-mile service schedule (whichever comes first). However, the specifics vary slightly depending on the generation, age, and usage.
Below is a general guide to modern Porsche 911 service intervals:
| Generation | Typical Service Interval |
|---|---|
| 996 (1997-2004) | Every 12,000 miles or annually |
| 996 (2004-2006) | Every 12,000 miles or 2 years |
| 997 (2005-2012) | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years |
| 991 (2012-2019) | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years |
| 992 (2019-present) | Every 20,000 miles or 2 years |
| All GT models | Every 12,000 miles or 2 years |
What’s Included in a Porsche 911 Service?
Each 911 has unique requirements to suit the specific model, age, and mileage of your Porsche. Generally, services include:
- Engine oil and filter change
- Removal of wheels for more in-depth inspection (often overlooked at main dealers)
- Comprehensive inspection of underbody, brakes, suspension, axle and drive components, exhaust and steering gear
- Cabin air filter replaced
- Brake fluid change
- Diagnostic check and fault memory reading
We also carry out generation-specific checks; for instance, we check for leakage from the IMS bearing area on 996 and 997 models. This doesn’t guarantee a diagnosis, but it can help to find faults before they cause real issues.
