Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 1997 Dodge Avenger, 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 Avenger
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Your rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We collect the rental when your car is back. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Still deciding?
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.
