Arranging the work for the Laser
Searching for engine repair for the 1985 Chrysler Laser? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Laser and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. 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. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Car care, briefly
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Questions first?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
