Arranging the work for the C800
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For engine work on the 1981 Ford C800, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
Who does what
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. 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.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. 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.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
