Well, it was time to drive the Porsche to 'Import Car Service,' and meet with the owner. "Hey another 928!" A perfect place to go! Ok, I was honest and up front, and told him the vehicle did not have a "Maintenance History," and was starting from scratch. I came in requesting an oil change, and transmission fluid change, and did mention the gear shifter had too much play. Do you think you can just pick up -Mobil 1- synthetic oil and put that in? No..., it must have 20/50, and 'she' sucked up (9) quarts @ $54.00. An oil filter, for a 1978 Porsche, which had to be ordered from WorldPac $18.57. What? needs a new drain plug? $18.10. My shift-coupler I needed, was ordered for $88.60, which will be delivered in a few days, which means I will be back. New gear oil $60.00, as she sucked up 6 quarts of 75/90. A new sealer $6.00/plus $4.80 fitting. Not bad. Total $250.07. I really thought it would be much more! Oh, did I forget labor? Oh Yeah...$70.00. Since I was coming back in a few days, I told the owner to add the additional $70.00 labor. Total visits: (2) @ grand total $417.37. Yes, I am in the dog house........
The shop owner recommended new shocks, and a new power steering hose.
