Arranging the work for the 626
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1986 Mazda 626 we arrange a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 626. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What we arrange
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
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.
