Car diagnostics: how we help

For a diagnostic check on the 1981 Chrysler LeBaron, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, 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.

Before the shop sees your LeBaron

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. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.

From request to repair

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. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.

A car while yours is in the shop

Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Before the shop starts

Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.

Good habits for your car

Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.

Let us know

One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
