Arranging the work for the MPV
Your 2003 Mazda MPV needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your MPV and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
Who does what
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Questions to ask the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. 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.

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.
