Arranging the work for the Avenger
Battery boost for the 2008 Dodge Avenger: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Before the shop sees your Avenger
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic.
What to send us
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Talking to the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Make a request
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request battery boost
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.
