Engine repair: how we help
Your 2002 Dodge Caravan needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your Caravan and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caravan.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. 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.
Talking to the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Make a request
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
