Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 1981 Dodge Aries, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Aries
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Aries, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
From request to repair
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Good habits for your car
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
When you know your dates
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
