Battery boost: how we help
Need battery service for the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Power comes from the 4.9L 12-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
What to ask
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talk to a person
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
