Battery boost: how we help
The 1981 Jeep Cherokee and battery service: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Details the shop needs
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. If you have the service history of your Cherokee, have it ready for the shop.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The rental is priced like any other on our site. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Make a request
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
