Mechanic: how we help
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2005 Dodge Ram, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Ram. If you have the service history of your Ram, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
From request to repair
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Make a request
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
