Car diagnostics for the 1991 Dodge Shadow
For a diagnostic check on your 1991 Dodge Shadow, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Before the shop sees your Shadow
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Shadow, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Its powertrain is the 2.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Questions first?
