Engine repair: how we help
Your 1989 Saab 900 needs engine work? We arrange it with a trusted shop, the work is done by the shop and not by CarmaCars, and we rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your 900
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Over to you
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
