The 1983 Dodge Aries: Car diagnostics
For a diagnostic check on the 1983 Dodge Aries, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Before the shop sees your Aries
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.
Who does what
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 follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Make a request
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
