Arranging the work for the 1500
Need battery service for the 2013 Ram 1500? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Before the shop sees your 1500
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 3.6L 6-cylinder, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Your rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Send a request
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
