A rental while yours is in the shop

Arranging the work for the Electra
Your 1984 Buick Electra needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your Electra
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
What to send us
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Next step
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
