Arranging the work for the Maxima
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 2018 Nissan Maxima we arrange a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your Maxima and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Ask us
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
