Battery boost: how we help
For battery service on the 2012 Ford Escape, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your Escape
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT).
What CarmaCars does here
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
A rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
