Alright so this is a fun one, my 2014 911 Carrera has been sitting in the garage for maybe three weeks because I was away and I came back today to a car that's completely lifeless, and of course on these cars the battery is in the frunk and the frunk release is electronic so without power you can't get to the battery to jump it or replace it, it's like Porsche designed a perfect little trap for people who travel. I know there's a manual release cable hidden in the driver's side wheel well but I'm not about to jack up the car in my narrow parking spot and start fishing around with a coat hanger hoping I don't scratch the fender to pieces. I was looking for a mobile service that's dealt with this exact 991 dead battery lockout situation before and doesn't just show up with a jump pack and a confused look when the frunk won't pop. I saw BatteryZone has a page for Porsche stuff and honestly the reviews look solid, you can Check out this page now if you're curious about their process, but I wanted to see if anyone here in Dubai has actually had them or someone similar rescue their 911 from this exact nightmare scenario without any paint damage or broken trim clips. I'm just trying to get this thing running again so I can take it for a proper drive now that the weather's turning and not have it turn into a week long saga at the dealer.
