A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

The Suzuki Sidekick: Mechanic
Your Suzuki Sidekick needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your Sidekick and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
What CarmaCars does here
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Next step
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
