Arranging the work for the Mini Ram
Winter tires for the 1985 Dodge Mini Ram: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Winter tires grip better in cold, snow and ice than all-season tires.
Before the shop sees your Mini Ram
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
What to send us
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. 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.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Over to you
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
