The 1981 Jeep CJ: Engine repair
The 1981 Jeep CJ and engine work: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
About your CJ
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.
How the request works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A car meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
What to ask
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Talk to a person
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
