Arranging the work for the Karma
Need mechanical repairs or maintenance for the 2012 Fisker Karma? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Your Karma and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Karma, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Over to you
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
