Arranging the work for the Viper
For engine work on the 1996 Dodge Viper, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your Viper, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Viper. The engine is the 8.0L 10-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Send a request
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
