The 1985 Jeep CJ: Car diagnostics
For a diagnostic check on the 1985 Jeep CJ, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your CJ and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Driving while yours is at the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
