Arranging the work for the 911
Your 2012 Porsche 911 needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your 911 and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Its 3.6L 6-cylinder drives through a 7-speed automatic.
What we arrange
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
One more step
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
