Car Diagnostics for Montecito

If you need a diagnostic check in Montecito: CarmaCars does not do this work itself, and our network is around Toronto. What this is: A diagnostic scan when a warning light is on or something feels wrong, by a trusted shop we arrange, not by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.

The steps

We do not set the shop's price or promise a date; the shop does, after it sees the car. Mention any warning lights or sounds; it helps the shop prepare. If the car cannot be driven, say so, and we arrange the next step with the shop. We arrange the shop and the rental, and you keep control of the repair.

Before the shop starts

Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.

Between shop visits

Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
