Arranging the work for the DeVille
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 1986 Cadillac DeVille, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your DeVille, have it ready for the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
From request to repair
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Car care, briefly
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Over to you
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
