When you service it do you keep all the receipts for proof? Tbh I’d love to just start serving my cayman myself as Its a keeper but I know if I ever did take the notion to sell it the full OPC history beards would have a ****ing fit.
For the Focus, I filled the service book with stamps, and then at that point I reverted back to doing it myself and just keeping receipts and log. I’ve always done the same for any car, keep any receipt for parts fitted, including date of fitting and mileage, and then keep them in a folder. Some would say OTT or maybe OCD, but it makes my job easier to keep record.

I’d say that’s fairly normal tbh. Stamp the books myself, keep receipts and write the mileage and date on the oil filter.

Done a better job than a supposed Porsche ‘specialist’ in resolving a fault on a Cayenne a few years ago too.

Would have more faith buying a car with someone showing receipts for oil change every 5k they did themselves than long life service stamps at 20k!

The beards don’t actually buy anyone’s car, cause the perfect car at the perfect price doesn’t exist, so wouldn’t worry.
