Engine repair: how we help
Your 2012 Porsche 911 needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your 911 and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your 911, have it ready for the shop. The powertrain here is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Get an offer
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.
