Car diagnostics for the 2000 Acura RL
For a diagnostic check on the 2000 Acura RL, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your RL 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. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
What to send us
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 tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Small things that help
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
