Engine repair: how we help
Need engine work for your 1982 Dodge 400? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your 400
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You approve the shop's quote before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Questions to ask the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Over to you
Start with the car, the job and your location.
Request engine repair
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.
