Arranging the work for the Shadow
For battery service on your 1987 Dodge Shadow, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your Shadow and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Its powertrain is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car while yours is in the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Good habits for your car
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Over to you
Start with the car, the job and your location.
