Arranging the work for the Eclipse
Need a diagnostic check for your 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Eclipse. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Its powertrain is the 2.4L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
The steps
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Getting a clear quote
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Let us know
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.
