Engine repair: how we help
Engine repair for your 1981 Ford FT800: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the FT800.
How the arrangement works
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. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Your move
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request engine repair
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
