Arranging the work for the Intrepid
Need battery service for your 1997 Dodge Intrepid? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Before the shop sees your Intrepid
If you have the service history of your Intrepid, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.3L 6-cylinder. Power comes from the 3.3L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic.
How we help
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
