  • They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this

“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:

  • Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles

About ECU Reprogramming

BulletIcon
Flashing or reprogramming your engine’s computer keeps it up-to-date and operating properly. The engine control unit (ECU) is a computer that controls all of your vehicle’s electronic systems. Like many computers, it occasionally requires reprogramming of its operating software. Your vehicle’s warranty may covered it, but there’s usually an additional charge. For example, Mazda charged a fee to re-flash the system so their vehicles could operate Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. On occasion, other vehicles revert to limp-home mode following an ECU malfunction. In order to diagnose what needs to be done, a dealership technician will connect a computer to the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD-II) port. Consult with your dealership service department for more information on your specific car, truck or SUV.

Porsche Dealership Repair Options

Following the purchase of your new Porsche, it’s a smart move to seek repairs through factory authorized dealers, who have firsthand knowledge of your vehicle, as well as being up to date in the latest service bulletins issued by the manufacturer.

In the case of leases, many car leases including those from Porsche’s financial partner, Porsche Financial Services, require the use of Porsche original equipment parts when making your 911, Cayman, Boxster, Cayenne, Macan or other Porsche vehicle whole again.

Training

Porsche mechanics receive factory-authorized training from Universal Technical Institute (UTI) facilities on the latest techniques necessary to keep your Porsche running. After undergoing basic technical training, technicians progress on to Porsche-specific topics. Through this continuing education process, dealership mechanics and independent technicians become better equipped with knowledge for an effective repair of your Porsche vehicle. They also receive access to tools and service advisories not available to non-certified shops.

Loan car policy

Porsche offers loaner vehicles while your vehicle is being serviced or repaired, although dealer fleets may be limited. Appointments and reservations are required, so please check with your dealer of choice for more information.

Collision repairs

The Porsche Approved Collision Center Program is a network of dealers and independent auto repair shops which have been certified by Porsche Cars North America. Inspected yearly, they receive support and have access to the latest information, knowledge and service bulletins detailing the proper care and maintenance of your Porsche vehicle.
