The 1985 Toyota Van: Battery boost
For battery service on the 1985 Toyota Van, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your Van
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
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.
