Arranging the work for the Colt
Engine repair for the Dodge Colt: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your Colt
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
How we help
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
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. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Ask us
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
