Battery boost for a Scion tC
Battery boost for the Scion tC: CarmaCars does not do this work itself. Request it and we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one, and we can deliver a rental car to you while yours is in.

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.

Battery boost for the Scion tC
Your Scion tC needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
About your tC
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your tC, have it ready for the shop.
How the arrangement works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Next step
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
