Arranging the work for the Ram
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For engine work on the 1999 Dodge Ram, we connect you with a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What CarmaCars does here
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Want a price?
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.
