A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

The Kia Forte: Battery boost
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For battery service on the Kia Forte, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Details the shop needs
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Forte, have it ready for the shop.
What we arrange
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. 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 car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Next step
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
