Arranging the work for the Comanche
For engine work on the 1986 Jeep Comanche, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Comanche
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Power comes from the 2.1L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
