What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
When you know your dates
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
Request car diagnostics
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.
