Car diagnostics: how we help
For a diagnostic check on the 1982 Buick Electra, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your Electra
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Electra, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Electra.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. 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. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
One more step
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
