FAQs
frequently asked questions
does dcm sell tires and offer installation?
Yes. We will install only Porsche N Spec tires and offer warranty on workmanship of the tire but not road hazard replacement. If you're often replacing tires then you may want to consider tire service from Porsche of Orlando (Maitland) or consult with Discount Tire. Learn more about Porsche N-Spec tires HERE.
Does dcm install customer supplied parts?
The short answer is NO. There's no benefit for you as the customer by gathering parts from another online retailer and then having us install them. We'll occasionally make accommodations for customer supplied parts the labor rate will be $175/ per hour. In the long run it's better that we handle getting the correct parts and handle any warranty issues directly with the manufacture.
How often should I change my oil and why?
Porsche recommends an oil and filter change every 10,000 miles or once a year (whichever comes first.) Your vehicle knows best and will remind you when your upcoming service is due in the message center located in your instrument cluster. If you have questions about when your next service is due message us your VIN# and we'll do our best to advise you.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME TO SERVICE MY PORSCHE?
Porsche's onboard computer will tell you when all your services are due if properly reset by us or at the dealer. Always refer to the messages in your gauge cluster and owners manual for further information. Please give us a call if you need further explanation.
How do I know if my battery is in good working condition?
The Florida heat can be very hard on car batteries. A couple indicators that your battery may be starting to fail are the slow starting, warning lights on the dash and accessories such as the radio, climate control and powered features start to underperform and lose functionality. We carry a full line of Interstate and OEM Porsche batteries.
IF I SERVICE MY PORSCHE AT dcm WILL MY NEW CAR OR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY BE VOIDED OR CANCELED BY THE DEALER?
