Key Maintenance Services

1. Regular Oil Changes

Routine oil and filter changes help prevent engine wear and extend your vehicle's life. Porsche models require synthetic oil for optimal performance. We recommend scheduling an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions.

2. Brake System Inspection & Repair

Your Porsche brake system is vital for safety. At SAS Automotive Repair, we offer comprehensive brake inspections, pad replacements, and rotor resurfacing to ensure your stopping power remains strong. Most Porsche brakes last between 20,000 and 50,000 miles, but we recommend frequent checks. If your Porsche is equipped with PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes), specialized maintenance is required to maximize their lifespan.

3. Tire Rotation & Alignment

Tire maintenance improves handling and fuel efficiency. We provide tire rotations, alignments, and pressure checks to extend the life of your tires. Rotate your tires every 5,000 miles and check for signs of uneven wear to ensure smooth performance.

4. Transmission Service

A properly maintained transmission ensures seamless gear shifting. We offer transmission fluid replacements and diagnostics, typically recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your Porsche model. If your Porsche is equipped with a PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) dual-clutch transmission, fluid and filter changes are recommended every 40,000 miles to maintain performance.

5. Air & Cabin Filter Replacement

Your Porsche air filters keep the engine and cabin air clean. We recommend replacing the engine air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles and the cabin air filter every 20,000 miles for fresh, contaminant-free air inside your car.

6. Coolant System Flush & Inspection

A well-maintained coolant system prevents engine overheating. At SAS Automotive Repair, we inspect and flush your coolant system to ensure proper engine temperature regulation. Porsche vehicles typically require a coolant flush every 30,000 miles. Due to the multiple radiators in Porsche’s flat-six engines, periodic radiator cleaning is also recommended.

7. Battery Testing & Replacement

A weak battery can leave you stranded. We offer battery inspections, replacements, and charging system diagnostics. Most Porsche batteries last 4-5 years, but we recommend annual testing after three years.

8. Fluid Level Checks & Maintenance

Your Porsche relies on multiple fluids to function correctly, including brake fluid, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. We provide full fluid inspections and top-offs during routine maintenance. Track-driven Porsches should have their brake fluid changed more frequently than the standard two-year interval.

9. Timing Belt & Chain Inspection

The timing belt or chain ensures proper engine synchronization. While most Porsche vehicles use timing chains, which are long-lasting, routine inspections are crucial to detect wear early. Porsches with IMS bearings (Intermediate Shaft Bearings), particularly older 996 and early Boxster models, should have regular inspections or replacements to prevent major engine failure.

10. Professional Diagnostics & Inspections

At SAS Automotive Repair, we use Porsche factory-grade diagnostic tools to identify potential issues before they become major repairs. Regular multi-point inspections can help detect leaks, worn-out components, and software issues early.
