Car inspection: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For an inspection on the 2011 BMW Active E, we connect you with a trusted shop. An inspection before you buy a used car can save you from an expensive surprise.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Active E. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Active E, have it ready for the shop. The electric motor is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Stay on the road
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Over to you
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request car inspection
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.
