Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1985 Saab 900 we arrange a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your 900
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car while yours is in the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Next step
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
