Arranging the work for the Challenger
Winter tires for your 2012 Dodge Challenger: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Tires are swapped, balanced and checked for wear, and the shop sets its own price and time.
Details the shop needs
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Challenger. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 3.6L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
From request to repair
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. 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.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
One more step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
Request winter tires
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.
