Arranging the work for the Eclipse
Engine repair for the 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your Eclipse
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. If you have the service history of your Eclipse, have it ready for the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
The steps
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Good habits for your car
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
