Arranging the work for the Boxster
Need a wheel alignment for your 1997 Porsche Boxster? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
About your Boxster
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 6-cylinder. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 2.5L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions first?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
