Engine repair for the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa

Your 1987 Ferrari Testarossa needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.

Before the shop sees your Testarossa

Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.9L 12-cylinder. It runs the 4.9L 12-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.

How the arrangement works

Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.

No car? Rent one meanwhile

A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

Between shop visits

Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.

Before the shop starts

Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.

Your move

Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.

Request engine repair

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.
