The 2005 Scion xA: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the 2005 Scion xA we arrange a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your xA
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. 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. The 1.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Next step
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.
