The 1985 GMC C6: Mechanic
Your 1985 GMC C6 needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your C6 and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the C6.
Who does what
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Before the shop starts
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Car care, briefly
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Send a request
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
