The 2012 Mazda MX-5: Car inspection
For an inspection on your 2012 Mazda MX-5, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An inspection before you buy a used car can save you from an expensive surprise.
Before the shop sees your MX-5
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the MX-5. The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Questions to ask the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Next step
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
