Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Small things that help
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Ready when you are
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.
