Car diagnostics: how we help
For a diagnostic check on your 1990 Volvo 780, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Before the shop sees your 780
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 780. The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
From request to repair
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We collect the rental when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
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. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
When you know your dates
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
