The 1986 Cadillac DeVille: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the 1986 Cadillac DeVille we arrange a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your DeVille and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to 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.
From request to repair
You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
