Mechanic: how we help
Your Mazda RX-8 needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
What to send us
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A car while yours is in the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Talk to a person
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
