Car diagnostics for the 2013 Dodge Challenger
The 2013 Dodge Challenger and a diagnostic check: 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.
Your Challenger and the shop
If you have the service history of your Challenger, have it ready for the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.6L 6-cylinder. The 3.6L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Over to you
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
