Fast answers at any time, day or night, to keep your prized Porsche running
Porsche is a German automobile manufacturer specializing in high-performance sports cars, SUVs, and sedans. It is owned by Volkswagen AG, which is itself majority-owned by Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Porsche's current lineup includes the 718 Boxster/Cayman, 911, 918 Panamera, Macan and Cayenne.
While the company is legendary for its cars' reliability, there are occasional issues that arise. The 1993 911 had valve guide issues, the 964 is famous for leaking oil, the 996 had intermediate shaft bearing issues, and the Cayenne coolant pipes have often been problematic.
Because foreign car mechanics can be pricey, you may want to research the problem before taking in your Porsche for a diagnosis, or even get a second opinion. You can consult an Expert on JustAnswer any time, without waiting for an appointment, for a fraction of the cost of a full diagnostic service appointment.
You can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when you're completely satisfied.
