Arranging the work for the Skyhawk
The 1983 Buick Skyhawk and a diagnostic check: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your Skyhawk
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
What to send us
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. 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.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Ready when you are
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
