Arranging the work for the Pickup
Mechanic for your 1986 GMC Pickup: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your Pickup and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Pickup, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The 2.5L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed manual, drives it.
What we arrange
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Stay on the road
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
A short checklist
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Still deciding?
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
