Arranging the work for the Durango
Need engine work for your 2003 Dodge Durango? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your Durango and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.7L 8-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 4.7L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic.
What we arrange
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
