Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a diagnostic check on the 1982 Dodge 400, we connect you with a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your 400 and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 400. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.
The steps
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Ask us
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request car diagnostics
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.
