Arranging the work for the Aries
Your 1983 Dodge Aries needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. 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 can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Questions first?
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.
