If you’re new to Porsche ownership, you’ve probably come across the terms “minor service” and “major service” in your maintenance schedule. Or perhaps your car’s dashboard has given you a gentle reminder. But what do these terms really mean? And, more importantly, what makes Ramus Porscha’s approach stand out?
The Basics: Minor vs. Major Service
Porsche Minor Service
Think of a minor service as your Porsche’s regular health check-up. It’s a chance to make sure everything’s running smoothly and to spot any small issues before they become big ones. At Ramus Porscha, a minor service typically includes:
- Oil and filter change using Porsche-approved oils
- Full diagnostic health check and fault code analysis
- Inspection of tyres, lights, fluids, wipers, horn and battery
- Visual checks for leaks, wear and tear, and any warning signs
- Resetting the service light
- A road test by one of our Porsche-trained technicians
For many models, like the 997.2, a minor service is recommended every year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Porsche Major Service
A major service goes further and gives your Porsche a thorough once-over. In addition to everything included in a minor service, Ramus Porscha’s major service for your Porsche also covers:
- Comprehensive checks on the brakes, steering, suspension, and clutch
- Inspection and, if necessary, replacement of air, pollen, and fuel filters
- Checking and topping up of gearbox and differential fluids where required
- Additional checks on the exhaust system, drive belts, and underbody components
Major services are usually required every two or four years, depending on your Porsche model and how it’s used.

There’s “main dealer service” and then there’s Ramus Porscha service. Here’s why so many local Porsche owners trust us:
- Gold and silver Porsche-trained technicians: We live and breathe Porsche. Every nut, bolt, and code is second nature to our team.
- Genuine and OEM parts only: No corners cut, ever.
- Transparent pricing: For example, a minor service for a 997.2 starts at £390, with a major service at £530. Clear, honest, and competitive.
- Community feel: We’re Porsche enthusiasts, just like you. You’re welcome to chat with us about your car over a cuppa while you wait.
