The 1988 Isuzu Pickup: Engine repair
Need engine work for your 1988 Isuzu Pickup? 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 Pickup and the shop
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What we arrange
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Getting a clear quote
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Next step
A short request starts it: 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.
