Arranging the work for the Esprit
Searching for battery boost for the 1997 Lotus Esprit? 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.
About your Esprit
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Esprit. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo. Its powertrain is the 3.5L 8-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. 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.
Car care, briefly
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
One more step
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
