Mechanic: how we help
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 1991 Dodge Shadow, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop; the work is done there, not by CarmaCars. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
About your Shadow
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 4-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Shadow, have it ready for the shop. The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Good habits for your car
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talk to a person
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
