Arranging the work for the Durango
For a safety certificate on the 2003 Dodge Durango, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Before the shop sees your Durango
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Durango. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The powertrain here is the 4.7L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic.
What we arrange
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Next step
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
