Arranging the work for the Maxima
For a diagnostic check on the 1985 Nissan Maxima, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop; the work is done there, not by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Car care, briefly
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ready to ask?
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
