A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Mechanic: how we help
Your Buick Riviera needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
About your Riviera
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What we arrange
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Ask us
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
Request mechanic
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.
