Engine repair: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the 2018 Dodge Challenger we arrange a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Challenger
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Challenger. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its 3.6L 6-cylinder drives through an 8-speed automatic.
How the request works
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A car meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We collect the rental when your car is back. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Car care, briefly
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Send a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange 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.
