Arranging the work for the Shadow
Car diagnostics for your 1990 Dodge Shadow: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your Shadow and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Shadow. Its 2.2L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual.
The steps
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Your rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Make a request
A request is free and gets a reply 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.
