Arranging the work for the Century
For battery service on the 1982 Buick Century, CarmaCars arranges it with a trusted shop or connects you with one; the work is done by the shop, not by CarmaCars. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Century. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
Who does what
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
