Arranging the work for the B350 Van
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for battery service on the 1985 Dodge B350 Van we arrange a trusted shop. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your B350 Van and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 5.2L 8-cylinder. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your B350 Van, have it ready for the shop. The powertrain to know here is the 5.2L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Ready to ask?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
