Mechanic in The String, ID

Arranging the work in The String

We work in the Toronto area, a drive from The String, and the mechanical work is done by trusted shops, not by CarmaCars. In short: Repairs and maintenance by a mechanic at a trusted shop we arrange, not by CarmaCars. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.

What we arrange

Let us know where the car is and whether it is safe to drive. We tell you plainly when we do not know a shop for the job. Send a request with the car and what it needs. A person replies and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. The shop quotes the work itself; we do not add to its price.

Talking to the shop

Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.

Car care, briefly

Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Look at the tire tread before long trips.

Where CarmaCars works

Straight answer: there is no CarmaCars location in The String. We rent from Toronto. The String lies about 2,543 km from our location in Toronto, well outside our delivery area of about 250 km.
