Arranging the work for the S80
The 2003 Volvo S80 and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.9L 6-cylinder. The 2.9L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. 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.
A short checklist
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Ready when you are
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
