Arranging the work for the Neon
Need engine work for your 1997 Dodge Neon? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Neon and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.0L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
Who does what
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Over to you
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
