Crest AutoScandia in Herndon Virginia
Anyone have experience with AutoScandia in Herndon? I have a 2014 Porsche and looking at alternatives to the gouging at the dealership. Any inputs, regardless of make, model, would be appreciated.

I've had decent experiences with my 98 Volvo. By buddy said they did an honest job on his BMW and his Volvo 240. I called about my 996, but I ended up taking it to another shop.

No direct experience here, but I understand they hired a seasoned Porsche technician a year or two ago.

Been there once or twice, seems like a relatively above average shop for relatively above average rates.

New tech is named Wolfgang... from what I've heard he is the only Porsche trained tech on staff... and you schedule directly with him by name. Was quoted $280 for Oil Service Maintenance at AutoScandia... in comparison Tyson's Porsche charges $450, IMA $370 and Intersport $390... so they are definitely the cheapest but are they good? I'll report back...

Hmmmm, how 'good' do you need to be to change oil?

I suck at it. But that just screws up my garage floor, not the car.

Depends on the change too. Right oil, right filter and other related bits and proper methods?
