Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a diagnostic check on the 2012 Porsche 911, we connect you with a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
About your 911
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Under the hood: the 3.6L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive.
How we help
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Ready to ask?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
Request car diagnostics
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.
