A rental while yours is in the shop

Engine repair for the Saab 9-3
Your Saab 9-3 needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your 9-3
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
How the arrangement works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
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 what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Next step
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
