Car diagnostics: how we help
Need a diagnostic check for your 1982 Buick Skyhawk? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your Skyhawk and the shop
If you have the service history of your Skyhawk, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Skyhawk.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Ready to ask?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
