Car Diagnostics in Captain, VA

Car Diagnostics in Captain

If you need a diagnostic check in Captain: CarmaCars does not do this work itself, and our network is around Toronto. The job: A diagnostic scan when a warning light is on or something feels wrong, by a trusted shop we arrange, not by CarmaCars. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.

Our part and the shop's part

The shop sets its own price and time, and you agree to them before any work. You deal with the shop for the repair itself, and with us for the rental. We pass your details to a trusted shop or give you its name, as you prefer. We arrange the shop and the rental, and you keep control of the repair.

Good habits for your car

Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.

Talking to the shop

Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.

Before you plan around us
