Arranging the work for the DeVille
For engine work on the 1988 Cadillac DeVille, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your DeVille
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the DeVille. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.5L 8-cylinder. It runs the 4.5L 8-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Who does what
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Car care, briefly
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Send a request
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
