Engine repair for the 2012 Dodge Journey
For engine work on the 2012 Dodge Journey, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Its 2.4L 4-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. 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.
A car meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Make a request
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request engine repair
