Car diagnostics: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1987 Dodge Shadow we arrange a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your Shadow and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 2.2L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
The steps
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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.
Keep moving meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Car care, briefly
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Before the shop starts
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Send a request
Start with a short request; a person replies 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.
