Arranging the work for the C7
The 1985 GMC C7 and a diagnostic check: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your C7, have it ready for the shop.
What to send us
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
When you know your dates
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
