Arranging the work for the Boxster
Your 2011 Porsche Boxster needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your Boxster
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Boxster. The 2.9L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 7-speed automatic.
How the arrangement works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Getting a clear quote
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Ready to ask?
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request emissions test
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.
