Arranging the work for the Lancer
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For battery service on the 1988 Dodge Lancer, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 4-cylinder. It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Who does what
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
