Mechanic: how we help
Mechanic for the 1990 Dodge Shadow: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Your Shadow and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Shadow, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It is powered by the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How we help
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Stay on the road
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. 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.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
