The 2012 Dodge Avenger: Mechanic
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on your 2012 Dodge Avenger, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your Avenger and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Avenger, have it ready for the shop. The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
The steps
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
A short checklist
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Ask us
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request mechanic
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.
