The 1986 Dodge Caravan: Engine repair
For engine work on the 1986 Dodge Caravan, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caravan. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What CarmaCars does here
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Your rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Small things that help
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. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
One more step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
