Car diagnostics: how we help
Searching for car diagnostics for the 1982 Chevrolet Impala? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
How we help
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
A short checklist
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
