Arranging the work for the 600
For a diagnostic check on the 1985 Dodge 600, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your 600
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your 600, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Stay on the road
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Over to you
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
