Arranging the work for the Eclipse
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a diagnostic check on the 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we connect you with a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Before the shop sees your Eclipse
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your Eclipse, have it ready for the shop. Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Still deciding?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
