The 2009 Dodge Challenger: Car diagnostics
Your 2009 Dodge Challenger 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.
Your Challenger and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The powertrain to know here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
What we arrange
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. 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.
Stay on the road
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Look at the tire tread before long trips. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Get an offer
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.
