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.

Car diagnostics for the Toyota Tercel
Your Toyota Tercel needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your Tercel
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Tercel, have it ready for the shop.
How we help
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. 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.
A car meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Make a request
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
