A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the 944
Your Porsche 944 needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.
How the arrangement works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Your rental while you wait
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Let us know
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
