Engine repair: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the 1983 GMC C5 we arrange a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your C5
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Small things that help
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
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 whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
One more step
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
