Engine repair: how we help
Engine repair for your 1992 Dodge Caravan: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Caravan
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caravan. If you have the service history of your Caravan, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What we arrange
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Want a price?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
