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.

Arranging the work for the 9-3
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a diagnostic check on the Saab 9-3, we connect you with a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9-3. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
How we help
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. 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.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Send a request
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
