Arranging the work for the Avenger
Need an inspection for the 2012 Dodge Avenger? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A good inspection covers brakes, tires, suspension, leaks and rust.
Your Avenger and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 4-cylinder. The 2.4L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed automatic, drives it.
Who does what
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Small things that help
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
What to ask
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Questions first?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
