Arranging the work for the RX-8
For a tow on the 2007 Mazda RX-8, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your RX-8 and the shop
If you have the service history of your RX-8, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.3L 2-cylinder. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The powertrain to know here is the 1.3L 2-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Before the shop starts
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Get an offer
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
Request towing
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.
