Arranging the work for the Colt
Your 1986 Dodge Colt needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Colt. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Power comes from the 1.5L 4-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Make a request
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
