Arranging the work for the 911
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a wheel alignment on the 2012 Porsche 911, we connect you with a trusted shop. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your 911, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 911. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its powertrain is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
A short checklist
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
