Arranging the work for the FT8000
The 1981 Ford FT8000 and engine work: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your FT8000, have it ready for the shop.
How the arrangement works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Your rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
