Details the shop needs
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your MX-5 Miata, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
