I do a lot of my basic service myself when time permits. Oil changes, easy stuff that my limited skills can handle.

My 2015 R might be overdo for a brake fluid flush and I just don't want to go to the local dealer here in Portland. Worked with them before and let's just say they stink.

If warranty work I guess, fine. But brakes and other mid-level stuff I'd rather not leave the work in their hands + they are severe rip offs IMO. I don't have any issues that I have read about in service recalls. The only thing I see the dealer doing is unapproved s/w updates that will turn my loud beast into a kitten - ugh.

This place has high reviews - http://thejagshop.com I'd rather trust them. I bought Porterfield pads last year and if the rotors are OK maybe I'll have them swap them so I can finally have less dust.

Car has 29k miles, bought it at 25k so not sure if previous owner did a brake flush. Only things I've needed in 4k miles are P4s tires and a couple oil/filter changes.

Anything else I should ask of them? Thanks.

 

Burt,
You might find the attached service schedule useful.

 

Thanks - funny at 29k miles I know it has had over 5 oil/filter changes, two by me. Castrol recommended fancy Nancy one too.

Looks life brake fluid replace is the only thing I might be lacking.

 

You might find what shop most of your local exotic car owners are using. In my area, the local Exotic car club has a few shop owners which are part of the group. Those shops service pretty much all of the higher end cars (as well as full race cars) and work hard to maintain their credibility. i.e. you don't really need to find a shop with "Jag" in the name.
