Mechanic: how we help
Mechanic for the 1985 GMC C7: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the C7. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
Who does what
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Get an offer
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
