Arranging the work for the Riviera

For a diagnostic check on your 1995 Buick Riviera, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.

Your car, your notes

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. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Riviera. Power: the 3.8L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive.

How the arrangement works

We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.

A rental while you wait

Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Small things that help

Look at the tire tread before long trips. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.

Before the shop starts

If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.

Next step

Start with the car, the job and your location.

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.
