Arranging the work for the Shadow
Need battery service for your 1989 Dodge Shadow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your Shadow and the shop
If you have the service history of your Shadow, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 4-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
The steps
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We collect the rental when your car is back. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
