Car diagnostics: how we help
The 1986 Saab 9000 and a diagnostic check: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your 9000 and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
A short checklist
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Questions first?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
