Arranging the work for the LS
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For battery service on the 2000 Saturn LS, we connect you with a trusted shop. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your LS and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the arrangement works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We collect the rental when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Talk to a person
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request car battery replacement
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.
