A rental while yours is in the shop

The Toyota Tercel: Engine repair
Your Toyota Tercel 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 Tercel
If you have the service history of your Tercel, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
How the request works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
A car while yours is in the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
What to ask
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Still deciding?
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.
