About your DeVille
If you have the service history of your DeVille, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What CarmaCars does here
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. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
When you know your dates
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
