Arranging the work for the Lancer
Need a winter tire change for your 1985 Dodge Lancer? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Storing your off-season tires is often something the shop can arrange.
Your Lancer and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your Lancer, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A car while yours is in the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Over to you
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
