Arranging the work for the WCA
The 1997 Volvo WCA and battery service: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your WCA and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
Who does what
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Make a request
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.
