Arranging the work for the Shadow
For engine work on the 1989 Dodge Shadow, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your Shadow
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Power: the 2.2L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive.
How we help
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
A short checklist
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Get an offer
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
