Arranging the work for the Sebring
For a diagnostic check on the 1998 Chrysler Sebring, 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 car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Sebring. If you have the service history of your Sebring, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What we arrange
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. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Car care, briefly
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
