I’m Dave Garcia, owner and master technician at Hyperformance Garage. I service 1996 and newer Porsches, and intermediate maintenance is the visit that keeps everything on schedule: oil and filter, the pollen filter, brake fluid, and a full look over the car. Tell me your model and year and I’ll confirm exactly what your Porsche is due for, and I give you a firm timeline with your written quote.
What Porsche intermediate maintenance includes
- Engine oil and oil filter change with factory-spec oil and a genuine or OEM filter
- Pollen (cabin) filter element replacement
- Brake fluid replacement
- Brake component, tire, and coolant level inspections
- Reading the fault memory of the diagnostic system
- Wiper and washer system check
- Road test before the car goes back to you
- Written report with photos of everything checked and found
The factory interval is typically every 20,000 miles or two years on most models, but it varies by model. Tell me your year and model and I’ll confirm your schedule.
My process
- I confirm your Porsche’s year and model and check what the factory schedule calls for at this visit.
- I perform the oil service, pollen filter, and brake fluid replacement with genuine or OEM parts.
- I run the full inspection list, read the fault memory, and road test the car.
- You get a written report with photos of everything I checked and found, on every job.
- If I spot anything else, you get a written quote with the problem, the fix, and the cost before I touch it. Nothing happens without your approval.
FAQ
How often does my Porsche need intermediate maintenance?
On most models it is every 20,000 miles or two years, but the schedule varies by model. Tell me your year and model and I’ll confirm what your car is due for.
What is a pollen filter?
It is Porsche’s name for the cabin air filter. It keeps dust, pollen, and road debris out of the air you breathe inside the car, and a clogged one makes the climate system work harder.
Why is brake fluid part of this service?
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and hurts braking performance. Replacing it on schedule is straightforward preventative maintenance.
Do you reset the service reminder?
Yes, every time. The dash is clean when you pick up the car.
Is intermediate maintenance covered by your warranty?
Qualifying repairs are backed by my 24-month/24,000-mile warranty, in writing, on the invoice.
