Arranging the work for the Colt
Your 1987 Dodge Colt 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 Colt
If you have the service history of your Colt, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 1.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed manual.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Talk to a person
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
