In my experience there aren’t many mechanics that are particularly neat and dedicated like you. You’re working as though that car belongs to you Keep up the great job
I hope you don't get tired of hearing the same thing, because I see that many viewers say it, but I so appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail. The owner of that Macan got top notch, professional service.
Amazing level of detail in your work. Learned more in that one video than I have learned watching dozens of other videos. I really appreciate that you put in the torque specs for the different service requirements. Great job.
I don’t own a Porsche, thanks to your advice btw. But hooked on these vlogs. The quality is so apparent. Very satisfying to watch the level of craftsmanship
Excelent mechanic, extremely careful with the trim pieces and the way he cleans everything. I would stop doing this myself if I knew I’d get this kind of service
I appreciate the attention to detail in these service videos. Cleaning the engine bay after working is a nice touch. Honestly I would expect things like this at 150$ per hour but I'm guessing many dealerships just push for turn and burn service.
Very impressive video! Am quite pleasantly surprised at how much cleaning and lubing you do in all the door seals, etc. Now I want to step up my game to match yours. Thanks for giving all the materials info and torque specs in the description! Coming from the VW world, it’s interesting to see that many of the parts look the same.
I’m a Honda tech and it surprises me to see you guys lubricate all the hinges on every service, I’m going to start implementing that to every vehicle I service from now on!
This is amazing you get all this done at Porsche. Well done by the company and their standards and well done and great job on your part for actually performing these items. Im sure other techs would get all the lubricates and sprays and fluids and just store them in their box or cabinet and say they "performed the service"
I- Wow I've never had better service than from Knauz Rover Lake Bluff but this is just absolutely insane..! Such a meticulous tech! Wish they were all like this.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time and creating videos like this. For those of us that are mechanically incline, we can do most of this in our garage with your video as a basic guideline. Besides the computer resets, the labor itself is doable and pretty much similar to other non Porsche cars and trucks. Thank you!!!
I've been a Nissan tech for 9 years. About to start at Porsche next week. Your videos put me in the right mindset for the quality of work that will be expected. I'm stoked! Thanks for sharing
@@MaisonAK that would be nice, but not reality. I'm master certified, I just won the "nissan award of excellence" for the third time which is given to the one person with the highest customer satisfaction/fewest come backs through the year, but we just don't go as far as this. It's more like correctly diagnose and fix the complaint as quickly and efficiency possible and get the owner back on the road asap. Porsche owners are a little bit different breed with different expectations
Great video, really enjoyed watching all the care you took lubricating and cleaning up the entire vehicle. Getting ready to do spark plugs on my Macan S and found this very helpful.
Hey so is this expected as a Porsche “by the book” task. This is sooooo cool Have a 4 year coming up with only 18k on the clock and this is a perfect popcorn moment for me Thanks!!!! Love this
Truly inspiring to see someone really take pride in their work, especially as it involves somebody else's property. I would trust you with my house keys when I went away on holiday 👍
I am happy to know there are mechanics still left like you. I for one had to learn how to fix cars myself because of dishonest dealer mechanics. It is not the mechanics' fault but pressure from dealership management to turn a blind eye and let customers find the problems themselves. With that i want to know how often do you see oil leak from the front front timing case and transfer case oil leak in the macans? Looking forward to hearing from you.thanks
Excellent video! I wish more techs are as detailed oriented as you. This way we can trust our dealerships a lot more. Every time I bring my car in, I get nervous not knowing what the tech is up to with my baby.
Problem is management at most shops don't want their techs going the extra mile and doing extra cleaning or other tasks that they can't charge for. They want it in and out as fast as possible.
Not many engineers / mechanics treat car like this and yet they charge a big premium (even dealers!). It is nice to see how well you treat that car, it is like it's yours. I'd gladly take my car to you even if you are 100 miles one way :D
Thanks for the video. I'm wanting to do these two fluid change services on my 2017 Macan S. It actually shows how unbelievably easy it is to do yourself. Now I'm even more confused as to why my Porsche dealer yesterday told me it will cost $1,600 for the 40,000 mile service. Oil change is about 20 minutes. PDK looks like a one hour job. All the lubricating with the spray can is easy too.
watching this a year later after it has been uploaded.... i would LOVE for you to work on my macan. your attention to details is just amazing! i wish you were still able to post new videos.
DukeJJZ- what are you smoking? No offense man but no one ever get what they pay for at a Porsche Dealer or any car dealer. Everything at Porsche is marked up 3 to 10 times higher simply because they figure if you got a Porsche then you don't mind being robbed blind. It's a rich persons car brand and they just expect you to pay more just because they assume you got money to spare. They take advantage of peoples ignorance. Seriously what do you get from paying $100 for a pair of $15 windshield wipers? Nothing. You just threw $85 in the trash. $1000 to replace a $30 coolant sensor. $3000 to change the brakes. I changed them myself for $300 two years ago. They're doing great. It's $300 cheaper to change your own oil. I purchased brake rotors from the same German supplier that Porsche use. It was $500 cheaper for the exact same rotors. I love Porsche. I own one myself but I'm not rich and you don't have to be rich. Just manage your money smartly and do your research. I love my Panamera Turbo but that don't mean I have to be foolish with my money which is a common misconception people have of Porsche owners. I purchased mine almost new for a 3rd of what a dealer would charge. Everyone knows to stay away from the dealer unless you have absolutely no choice.
I watched your video one time and now i can't stop watching , i don't have porshe and for me it's very complcated car but i like watching how to take care of those engines 😌😎👍👍👍
Incredible view of what happens in your shop. Your videos are super professional and really informative. Shopping around for a CPO Macan and terrified of this service and it’s cost. It seems like most models I find are sold at the ~36k or the ~75k mile mark, like owners are dumping them to avoid this service. That makes me feel like I’ll end up sinking a few grand into maintenance right after buying one of them. I understand the cost, but it still bums me out.
Really interesting video. Very impressed by your attention to detail & care. Would be delighted to have you service my cars. Keep up the excellent work.
Great work! If I lived in Chicago there would only be one place I'd take my Porsche to. Shame of it is that most owners won't notice your attention to detail. Would love to see you do a similar video on a 991
This must have been at the end of the day/week... Or, a personal/friend's vehicle, especially because it's a "MAJOR" Service at only 14k miles!!!! .......Honestly, awesomely meticulous job!!
You are very good with the camera as well as the work you do. I am still supprised Porsche let you do this. Porsche UK, the first thing they do is unplug your dash cam as they dont want you to see what cars are in the workshop !
Great video as always. Good details. The only thing that would make these vids even better is if you stated the torque specs for each bolt that you tighten with a torque wrench, and if you showed us the verious sprays and lubes you use in the videos. Keep them coming man.
I echo what everybody else here is saying. Amazing. I just had my 4 year service done on my '16 at the dealership here in Boston. No way in hell did they do even half of what you just did. I should have shown them this clip. Ever consider moving to Boston? 😁. Keep up the great videos!
Great video and amazing detailed work! But curious, does your dealership or Porsche recommend doing detailing work like you do? Or is it totally in the discretion of the technician?

No way in the world would porsche take so much care and clean a car as this guy in the video, he is meticulous 👍
I’m a tech as well and watching your videos is satisfying and it makes me improve the quality of my work. Keep it up bro.

I would fall off my chair if a main dealer performed a service to this level of detail. What a watch. Loved it. 👌🏼
I love the attention to detail and the fact a torque wrench is used on plugs as it should

Don't ever change your ways of working.
I'd trust you with my cars!
And he will gladly charge you for it lol
Bon Ton isn’t that how it works?
@@bonton9441 Rightfully so. The value in this job is the skilled technician. Quality labor has its price and should be valued.
Been a tech for 23 years. I own a 996 C4S. I have my dream car. Just wish i had the dream job working for Porsche as a tech.
Excelent mechanic, extremely careful with the trim pieces and the way he cleans everything. I would stop doing this myself if I knew I’d get this kind of service
Watching a pro do it is always inspiring.
What an amazing piece of engineering a modern car is. Can’t even begin tp imagine how much development work goes into one
Just picked up my new (to me) Panamera from these guys last week.
Very professional dealer.
I've worked as intern ship in centre porshe ,, never see some one treat car like you .. deserve employee of the month👏👏👏
If everyone took as much integrity, pride, and attention to detail as P - Tech day-to-da, the world would be a much better place :)
We need more mechanics like you sir. Fine job!
I appreciate the attention to detail in these service videos. Cleaning the engine bay after working is a nice touch. Honestly I would expect things like this at 150$ per hour but I'm guessing many dealerships just push for turn and burn service.
The impeccable attention to detail demonstrated here is Just amazing!!!
Well done!!!
I wish every porsche tech is tedious like you :P. Going in for a 40k mile service soon on my GTS
How much did it cost you?
@@herbertwaters1942 This job is around 2500 dollars, to much labour hours.
I don’t think you mean tedious....
Only Porsche enthusiasts would enjoy watching a car being serviced, which is why I loved it.

What's that service run?
My wife and I just got to 30k on our 2016 Macan Turbo, and it calls for doing the spark plugs.
How bad is it to wait it out til the 40,000 mile maintenance?? Are we really going to be doing any harm to the vehicle by not swapping out the spark plugs for the next 10k miles?? Seems a bit extreme if so...thought you'd def be the guy to ask 😉👍
**PS, we bought it at 26k miles and it was a CPO.
Scott Johnson it’s not the end of the world if you wait for the 40k service to do the plugs. You just may see a slight dip in performance and fuel economy.
The major service alone is around 1350 at my dealer. With added services like plugs, brake flush, and PDK fluid change, it’s probably closer to 2500.
