Engine repair: how we help
Your 2004 BMW X5 needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your X5 and the shop
If you have the service history of your X5, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the X5. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Still deciding?
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
