2009 Porsche 911 Carrera: CEL Resolved, Confidence Restored
Andy brought us his Guards Red Carrera after a check engine light refused to stay off. A quick scan told only part of the story — what it really needed was methodical diagnostics and a baseline service to ensure reliability. We dug in, fixed the issue, and set this 911 up for worry-free driving.
