Arranging the work for the 500
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For battery service on the 2018 Fiat 500, we connect you with a trusted shop. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its powertrain is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Get an offer
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
