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 inspection: how we help
Car inspection for the Mazda MX-5: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. An inspection before you buy a used car can save you from an expensive surprise.
Your MX-5 and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
From request to repair
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A rental while you wait
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Before the shop starts
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Ask us
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
