A rental while yours is in the shop

Battery boost: how we help
Need battery service for the 1981 Subaru GL? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your GL and the shop
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your GL, have it ready for the shop.
Who does what
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Still deciding?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with 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.
