Mechanic: how we help
The 1998 Dodge Intrepid and mechanical repairs or maintenance: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Details the shop needs
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your Intrepid, have it ready for the shop. It uses the 2.7L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Send a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
