Car diagnostics for the 1996 Dodge Viper
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 1996 Dodge Viper we arrange a trusted shop. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Before the shop sees your Viper
If you have the service history of your Viper, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It is powered by the 8.0L 10-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Talk to a person
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
