Engine repair: how we help
The Scion tC and engine work: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Your rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Over to you
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
