I have 10 Porsche cars including 718 GT4RS. Your car has 2 cabin air filters (one in the engine compartment by the firewall and the second one in/below the glove box. Also, there are 2 engine air filters (one on the left and one on the right next to head light) Very easy to change them. His price is about right per recommended labor estimate (they round up).
Regarding labor charges: There is a "book" used in the industry, where labor charges are standardized. If a car is damaged in an accident, and certain parts need replacement, the "book" tells the repair shop AND the insurance company that the time needed to do the appropriate repairs is 2.5 hours. Thus, Porsche dealerships (and any other dealership) can only charge you 2.5 hours for the repair labor charges. For standard labor charges, some Porsche dealerships charge $295/hour whereas the private repair shop charges $190/hour. So, for 2.5 hours' time, the Porsche dealership will charge you $737.50 and the private shop will charge you $487.50. NOW here is the rub: the BOOK time is 2.5 hours; the Porsche dealership will charge you for 2.5 hours AND if the mechanic can do the work in 1.5 hours, the dealership still charges you for 2.5 hours...and they "split the difference" with the mechanic. This way, the mechanic can earn his base salary PLUS he/she can earn an extra $30K or $40K or $50K in annual bonuses by doing hundreds (per year) of 2.0 hour jobs in 90 minutes or even less... The thing with any Porsche is this: they're simply more money to maintain IF you bring the car to a Porsche dealership OR any specialty shop that knows Porsche cars well. Of course, you can do the work yourself. IF there is a warranty still active with your car, just keep all your records in a safe place. As long as any work done on your car meets manufacturer's specifications, you should do fine with any repairs done by you OR a certified repair shop. There is a common expression: "Caveat emptor"---that's Latin for "Buyer beware". But keeping ALL your records does pay off when you want to sell the car. By the way: When you tried to raise/lower the vehicle, I think you need to have the engine running. Take care and thanks for posting your video!
No! Don't pay him he's tripping, do it yourself, I have a Porsche Cayenne turbo and I changed my filters and they are not hard to do , sweetheart, I wish I lived near you because I would do it for free and show you how to do it
in a car meet you don't belong (not as an equal participant, it's a male field). I'm sorry if you think you do, or you should. regardless of what anyone else says, that's not your scene just cuz you bought a car.

You can do this just take your time. Look at the RUclips videos a few times until you feel comfortable doing it. Stop and start the video as you go.
Thank you:)

What a ridiculous, misogynistic load of nonsense. Don't have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.
