Arranging the work for the Journey
The 2016 Dodge Journey and battery service: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Journey, have it ready for the shop. The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Next step
Ask, 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.
