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.

Arranging the work for the Spectra
Your Kia Spectra needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Before the shop sees your Spectra
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. 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.
What to send us
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Between shop visits
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Next step
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
