Engine repair: how we help
Your 1986 Dodge Aries needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your Aries and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It is powered by the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
The steps
You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Talk to a person
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.
