I get the impression their service staff rotate days. I don't think they have a Porsche guy/guys there every day.

Really?

Can't they just mount the new wheel/tire and call it a day? Massive inconvenience for a Porsche owner to go without their car for this long over a wheel & tire.

I guess not. One of those things I guess - the Jag/Audi guys want no part of it.

I suppose, but being without on the weekends when the weather is nice is crap. It took the Benz dealer a couple days to get the wheel in that was cracked and they only had it a couple hours.

Definitely a dealership issue rather than a Porsche issue though.
