Arranging the work for the 900
Your 1986 Saab 900 needs a wheel alignment? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An alignment keeps the car driving straight and the tires wearing evenly.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Want a price?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
