Arranging the work for the Elan
Car diagnostics for the Lotus Elan: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Before the shop sees your Elan
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Getting a clear quote
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.

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.
