The 1996 Ford Probe: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For engine work on the 1996 Ford Probe, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Probe and the shop
If you have the service history of your Probe, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 2.0L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Ready when you are
Start with the car, the job and your location.
