The Pontiac 6000: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the Pontiac 6000 we arrange a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
About your 6000
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. 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.
How the request works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Talk to a person
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
