Arranging the work for the tC
Need mechanical repairs or maintenance for the 2012 Scion tC? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 4-cylinder. If you have the service history of your tC, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The powertrain here is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
From request to repair
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Getting a clear quote
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Ready when you are
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
