Arranging the work for the Eclipse
Your 2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Eclipse, have it ready for the shop. Power comes from the 2.4L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
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 do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
A short checklist
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Your move
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
Request towing
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.
