Spark plugs are only recommended for the GT2 and 996TT at 30k, not for the naturally aspirated cars.

PorscheDoc is correct.

In addition to all the checks they do for the 30k service, you in turn will have to write a rather large "check". I have heard the price from dealer to dealer is sometimes quite large. Shop around ordo it yourself, it's not very difficult and is actually fun.
