Engine repair: how we help
Your 2012 Porsche Cayenne needs engine work? We arrange it with a trusted shop, the work is done by the shop and not by CarmaCars, and we rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your Cayenne and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged hybrid; drive: all-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. 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.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
A short checklist
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Make a request
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
