Arranging the work for the Rendezvous
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For an inspection on the 2002 Buick Rendezvous, 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
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Rendezvous, have it ready for the shop. It runs the 3.4L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
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. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Want a price?
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
