Arranging the work for the 400
Searching for engine repair for the 1983 Dodge 400? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
About your 400
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
What we arrange
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We collect the rental when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
A short checklist
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Want a price?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
