The 2000 Acura RL: Engine repair
For engine work on the 2000 Acura RL, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your RL and the shop
If you have the service history of your RL, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the RL. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
