Battery boost for the 1981 Jeep CJ
For battery service on the 1981 Jeep CJ, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your CJ and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the CJ. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
From request to repair
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Stay on the road
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Good habits for your car
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Before the shop starts
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 how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Ready to ask?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
