A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Car diagnostics for the Ford Escort
For a diagnostic check on your Ford Escort, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Escort. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Escort, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
A short checklist
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Make a request
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
