The 1988 Mazda MX-6: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For engine work on the 1988 Mazda MX-6, we connect you with a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your MX-6 and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
The steps
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Car care, briefly
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Before the shop starts
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Talk to a person
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
