Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on the Lotus Elan, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Elan
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Elan. If you have the service history of your Elan, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Get an offer
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
