Arranging the work for the Caliber

Your 2009 Dodge Caliber needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.

Before the shop sees your Caliber

If you have the service history of your Caliber, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caliber. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Under the hood: the 1.8L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.

Our part and the shop's part

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. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.

Your rental while you wait

If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

Small things that help

Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.

Questions to ask the shop

Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.

Ready when you are

Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.

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.
