Mechanic: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2016 Ford Escape we arrange a trusted shop. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Escape. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Questions first?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
