Arranging the work for the Durango
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1998 Dodge Durango we arrange a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Before the shop sees your Durango
If you have the service history of your Durango, 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 5.2L 8-cylinder. It runs the 5.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Between shop visits
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Still deciding?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
