The 1997 Dodge Intrepid: Car diagnostics
Your 1997 Dodge Intrepid 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 car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.3L 6-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain to know here is the 3.3L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Ask us
Start with the car, the job and your location.
