Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1997 Dodge Neon we arrange a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your Neon
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Neon, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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.
A car while yours is in the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Car care, briefly
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Let us know
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.
