Car diagnostics: how we help
Your 1998 Cadillac DeVille needs a diagnostic check? 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 DeVille and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 4.6L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. 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.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talk to a person
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
