The 1988 Dodge Shadow: Car diagnostics
For a diagnostic check on the 1988 Dodge Shadow, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
About your Shadow
If you have the service history of your Shadow, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 4-cylinder. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Send a request
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
