Arranging the work for the Corvette

For a diagnostic check on the 1981 Chevrolet Corvette, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.

Your car, your notes

The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.

How the request works

The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You approve the shop's quote before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.

Your rental while you wait

We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.

Car care, briefly

Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.

Before the shop starts

Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.

Talk to a person

Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.

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.
