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 Mazda RX-8
The Mazda RX-8 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 RX-8 and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the RX-8. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
How the arrangement works
You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
A short checklist
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Talk to a person
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.
