PORSCHE CARRERA REPAIR SERVICES
CARRERA
We are a top-rated local Porsche Carrera repair services shop in Fremont, CA. We also serve the greater East Bay Area, including Milpitas, Sunol, Newark, and Union City.
The Porsche 911 Carrera is fast, precise, and packed with performance, and it’s one of the most recognizable sports cars ever made. But like any high-performance vehicle, regular wear and common issues do show up. When they do, it’s best to handle them before they turn into something bigger.
At Fremont Foreign Auto, we help Carrera owners in Fremont and throughout the East Bay stay on top of maintenance and repairs. Whether it’s an oil leak, suspension noise, or something that just doesn’t feel right, we’ll take care of it without the runaround.
Here are five Carrera issues we see most often in the shop:
REQUEST A CALLBACK

Motor oil and the parts needed for your oil change vary in price from vehicle to vehicle. Please call for an exact price quote for your vehicle make and model. Our technicians are trained to service just about every make and model vehicle, from engine repair to oil changes.

Our technicians are highly skilled and experienced with just about every vehicle make and model. If your check engine light is on, you can bring it to our shop and we'll diagnose what's wrong with it. Any authorized diagnostic will be applied toward the cost of your repair, a $200.00 value.
Oil Leaks from Rear Main Seal or Timing Cover
Carreras, especially older models, are known for developing oil leaks. Two common spots are the rear main seal and the timing cover area. You might notice small drops on the ground, or catch the smell of burning oil during or after a drive.
We’ll clean and inspect the area to confirm the source, then replace the failing seals using parts that match Porsche specs. It’s a fix that protects your engine and keeps your garage floor clean.
Suspension Wear and Ride Quality Changes
If your Carrera starts to feel loose on corners or you hear clunks over bumps, the suspension might be wearing out. This could mean bushings, struts, or sway bar links are due for replacement.
We do a full inspection and test drive to catch the cause, then replace worn parts and make sure everything is torqued to spec. You’ll leave with tighter handling and a smoother ride.
Coolant Leaks and Overheating
Some Carrera models are known for plastic cooling components that eventually wear down or crack. You might see low coolant warnings, rising temps, or find a small leak near the front or rear of the car.
We pressure test the cooling system, check every connection point, and swap in durable replacements that hold up to the heat. It’s a common fix that goes a long way in protecting the engine.
Exhaust System Rattles or Cracks
Performance and sound go hand in hand, but if you’re hearing an unexpected rattle or sharp exhaust note, something might be loose or cracked in the exhaust system.
We’ll inspect the entire setup, from headers to tailpipes, and repair or replace worn hangers, heat shields, or cracked flanges. Whether stock or aftermarket, we’ll make sure it sounds right and runs clean.
Clutch or Transmission Issues
If your Carrera is shifting rough, slipping, or the clutch pedal feels different, it may be time for service. Clutches wear naturally, especially with spirited driving.
We test clutch engagement, inspect hydraulic components, and check for transmission codes or signs of wear. If a replacement is needed, we walk you through the options and get it done with care.
