Mechanic: how we help
Searching for mechanic for the 1985 Dodge 600? CarmaCars arranges it with a trusted shop; the work is never by CarmaCars. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Your car, your notes
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 600. The engine is the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 3-speed automatic.
The steps
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Over to you
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
