Arranging the work for the Eclipse
Need a diagnostic check for the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your Eclipse, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Ready to ask?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
