Engine repair: how we help
Your BMW 318iC needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
Our part and the shop's part
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Car care, briefly
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Next step
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request engine repair
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.
