Car diagnostics: how we help
Car diagnostics for your 1985 Chrysler Laser: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your Laser, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 4-cylinder. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Its powertrain is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What to ask
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. 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.
Between shop visits
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Ready when you are
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
