Arranging the work for the 626
Searching for car diagnostics for the 1985 Mazda 626? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your 626 and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
What we arrange
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. 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.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
One more step
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
