Arranging the work for the Eclipse
Your 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your Eclipse
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. 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 comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Good habits for your car
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Send a request
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
