Arranging the work for the FT800
Searching for battery boost for the 1981 Ford FT800? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your FT800 and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the FT800. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
Who does what
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Send a request
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
